O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!
Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!
Thy mists, that roll and rise!
Thy woods, this autumn day, that ache and sag
And all but cry with colour! That gaunt crag
To crush! To lift the lean of that black bluff!
World, World, I cannot get thee close enough!

Long have I known a glory in it all,
But never knew I this;
Here such a passion is
As stretcheth me apart,—Lord, I do fear
Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year;
My soul is all but out of me,—let fall
No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call.

-- Edna St. Vincent Millay, "God's World"

A quotation from Edna St. Vincent Millay

It is not enough that yearly, down this hill,
April
Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.

Death devours all lovely things.

A quotation from Edna St. Vincent Millay

Stranger, pause and look;
   From the dust of ages
Lift this little book,
   Turn the tattered pages,
Read me, do not let me die!
   Search the fading letters, finding
   Steadfast in the broken binding
All that once was I!

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) American poet

I know what my heart is like
   Since your love died:
It is like a hollow ledge
Holding a little pool

   A little tepid pool,
Drying inward from the edge.

A quotation from Edna St Vincent Millay

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

A quotation from Edna St. Vincent Millay

I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
   So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind.
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
   With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.

POEM OF THE DAY

I know what my heart is like
Since your love died:
It is like a hollow ledge
Holding a little pool
Left there by the tide,
A little tepid pool,
Drying inward from the edge.
