Additional quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay

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.

I know, but I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

How first you knew me in a book I wrote,
How first you loved me for a written line

But the roaring of the fire, And the warmth of fur, And the boiling of the kettle Were beautiful to her! - Edna St. Vincent Millay
