Additional quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Oh, friend, forget not, when you fain would note
In me a beauty that was never mine,
How first you knew me in a book I wrote,
How first you loved me for a written line....

You see, I am a poet, and not quite right in the head, darling. It’s only that.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

I would I were alive again to kiss the fingers of the rain. - Edna St. Vincent Millay
