2019: The quoted from Malcolm Gladwells book 'Talking to Strangers': "In the fall of 1962, the American poet Sylvia Plath left her cottage ... for London. ... She found an apartment in Londons Primrose Hill neighbourhoodthe top two floors of a townhouse. I am writing from London, so happy I can hardly speak, she told her mother. And guess what, it is W.B. Yeats house. With a blue plaque over the door saying he lived there! And it was here that she killed herself in February 1963.
