Additional quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay

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.

Many a bard's untimely death Lends unto his verses breath; Here's a song was never sung: Growing old is dying young.

She is happy where she lies
With the dust upon her eyes.
