"Sylvia, Frieda and Nicholas Plath Among the Daffodils, Court Green, April 22, 1962" -- One of the most beautiful portraits of a mother and her children I've ever had the good fortune to see.
On February 11, 1963, after sealing off her kitchen and leaving milk and cookies for Frieda and Nicholas in an adjacent room, she put her head in the oven, turned on the gas, and committed suicide. Thus ended the life of a brilliant mind and the prolific output of a world-class poet.
