Quotes

Well, I have lost you; and I lost you fairly; In my own way, and with my full consent. Say what you will, kings in a tumbrel rarely. Went to their deaths more proud than this one went. Some nights of apprehension and hot weeping. I will confess; but that's permitted me; Day dried my eyes; I was not one for keeping. Rubbed in a cage a wing that would be free.

Edna St. Vincent Millay quote: "She is happy where she lies With the dust upon her eyes."
She is happy where she lies With the dust upon her eyes. Edna St. Vincent Millay
And all at once the heavy night. Fell from my eyes and I could see, --A drenched and dripping apple-tree, A last long line of silver rain, A sky grown clear and blue again. And as I looked a quickening gust. Of wind blew up to me and thrust. Into my face a miracle.

From drenched and dripping apple-trees. For soon the shower will be done, And then the broad face of the sun. Will laugh above the rain-soaked earth. Until the world with answering mirth. Shakes joyously, and each round drop. Rolls twinkling, from its grass-blade top. Edna St. Vincent Millay
Cruel of heart, lay down my song. Your reading eyes have done me wrong. Not for you was the pen bitten, And the mind wrung, and the song written. Edna St. Vincent Millay
Edna St. Vincent Millay quote: "A person who publishes a book appears willfully in public eye..."
A person who publishes a book appears willfully in public eye with his pants down. Edna St. Vincent Millay
Degraded bird, I give you back your eyes forever, ascend now whither you are tossed; Forsake this wrist, forsake this rhyme; Soar, eat ether, see what has never been seen; depart, be lost, But climb. Edna St. Vincent Millay
Edna St. Vincent Millay quote: "Ah, I could lay me down in this long grass. And close my eyes,..."
Ah, I could lay me down in this long grass. And close my eyes, and let the quiet wind. Blow over me Edna St. Vincent Millay
