Edna St. Vincent Millay3 quotes
I know I am but summer to your heart,
And not the full four seasons of the year. — Edna St. Vincent Millay · 1923What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning — Edna St. Vincent Millay · 1923I 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. — Edna St. Vincent Millay · 1928
