The sky, I thought, is not so grand;
I 'most could touch it with my hand!
And reaching up my hand to try,
I screamed to feel it touch the sky.

Additional quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay

"Lost in Hell,-Persephone,
Take her head upon your knee;
Say to her, "My dear, my dear,
It is not so dreadful here.

Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely.

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends — It gives a lovely light!
