About the trees my arms I wound; Like one going mad I hugged the ground; I raised my quivering arms on high; I laughed and laughed into the sky. - Edna St. Vincent Millay

I raised my quivering arms on high;
I laughed and laughed into the sky.

Additional quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay

There are a hundred places where I fear
To go, — so with his memory they brim!
And entering with relief some quiet place
Where never fell his foot or shone his face
I say, 'There is no memory of him here!'
And so stand stricken, so remembering him!
