The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on either hand; The soul can split the sky in two, And let the face of God shine through. - Edna St. Vincent Millay

Farther away on either hand;
The soul can split the sky in two,
And let the face of God shine through.

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!
