Summary
A poem commonly considered to be about Plath's deceased father, “The Colossus” is addressed to an unspecified listener, who exists as a huge statue.
The speaker begins by claiming she can never put the listener back together. A variety of loud and coarse barnyard noises come from his “great lips," and she wonders if he considers himself an oracle, a “mouthpiece of the dead.” She has worked for thirty years to “dredge the silt from [his] throat,” but this activity has not made her any wiser.
