Beauty never slumbers All is in her name But the rose remembers The dust from which it came.
More Quotes from Edna St. Vincent Millay:
I know I might have lived in such a wayAs to have suffered only pain:
Loving not man nor dog;
Not money, even; feeling
Toothache perhaps, but never more than an hour away
From skill and novocaine;
Making no contacts, dealing with life through Agents, drinking
one cocktail, betting two dollars, wearing raincoats in the
rain.

Edna St. Vincent Millay
