Yesterday I bought a collection of Ted Hughes' poetry called Birthday Letters. Though he's a Poet Laureate, it seems Ted Hughes is more famous for being the husband of the doomed poetess Sylvia Plath, who killed herself at 30. Well..

There's a poem in the collection which caught my attention with its title alone. It's entitled God help the wolf after whom the dogs do not bark. The wolf or the dogs aren't mentioned within the poem anymore, but somehow it's no longer necessary. I wish I can explain things like that.
