Which poem begins with the line "Skin as bright as a Nazi lampshade"?

The poem that begins with the line "Skin as bright as a Nazi lampshade" is "Lady Lazarus" by Sylvia Plath. This line serves as a striking example of Plath's use of vivid and unsettling imagery to convey themes of resurrection and survival amidst trauma.

In "Lady Lazarus," Plath explores her identity and experiences with suffering, drawing parallels to the historical atrocities of the Holocaust through the reference to Nazi lampshades, which were rumored to be made from the skin of Jewish victims. This powerful imagery reflects Plath's intense emotional landscape, as well as her confrontational relationship with death and societal expectations of women.

The other options, while notable poems, do not contain this specific line. "Merlin," associated with various authors but not likely Plath, explores themes of mythology; "Easter, 1916" by W.B. Yeats reflects on the Irish rebellion; and "The Second Coming" also by Yeats, addresses the chaos following World War I. Each of these poems has its own distinct themes and style, separate from Plath's exploration in "Lady Lazarus."
