Many people have contemplated what the meaning of February Song is because he has never talked about what the words mean to him.

Sylvia Plaths’ poem "To Eva Descending the Stair" may at first seem only a petty‚ pretty piece with a few good alliterations which plays upon the overused mystery of the cosmos.
