The poet as typist

"I am more happy than if it was my book published! I have worked so closely on these poems of Ted's and typed them so many countless times through revision after revision that I feel ecstatic about it all.

"I am so happy his book is accepted first. . . . I can rejoice, then, much more, knowing Ted is ahead of me."

(from Letters Home by Sylvia Plath, edited by Aurelia Schober Plath, p. 297; letter written on Feb. 24, 1957)
