Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.

And what are you that, missing you,
   I should be kept awake
As many nights as there are days
   With weeping for your sake?

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
“The Poet and His Book,” st. 6, Second April (1921)
