I really enjoyed Sylvia Plath's poems and tried to decipher all of them but mostly came out empty handed. They are all abstract and chaotic but I think that's why I like them.
My opinion of Nick and the Candlestick, is that Plath is talking about the birth of her son. I also believe she is figuratively speaking about her world before her son enters it.
I think that she is saying that her womb and her world was cold and horrid before her son came into it. That he brought "roses and rugs" to make her world more comfortable. I think that Sylvia was expecting that her son would bring happiness and consistency back into her world "You are the one solid the spaces lean on, envious" This idea makes so much more sense in my head :)
