Additional quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Childhood Is the Kingdom Where Nobody Dies.

"The Unexplorer"

There was a road ran past our house
Too lovely to explore.
I asked my mother once — she said
That if you followed where it led

(That’s why I have not traveled more.)

A little faint perfume of me.
People who knew me well will say,
She really used to think that way.
