While Joan makes boast of a gentle lad,
That's troubled with that and this;
But they all would give the life they live
For a look from the man I kiss!
(She Is Overheard Singing)
More Quotes from Edna St. Vincent Millay:
Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare. Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace, And lay them prone upon the earth and cease To ponder on themselves, the while they stare At nothing, intricately drawn nowhere In shapes of shifting lineage let geese Gabble and hiss, but heroes seek release From dusty bondage into luminous air. O blinding hour, O holy, terrible day, When first the shaft into his vision shone Of light anatomized Euclid alone Has looked on Beauty bare. Fortunate they Who, though once only and then but far away, Have heard her massive sandal set on stone.Edna St. Vincent Millay

That bastes and tastes and salts,
And Agatha's Arth' is a hug-the-hearth,
But my true love is false!
Edna St. Vincent Millay
My heart is warm with the friends I make, And better friends I'll not be knowing Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take, No matter where its going.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

Edna St. Vincent Millay
I will be the gladdest thing under the sun I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.

My heroes were Dylan, John Lennon and Picasso, because they each moved their particular medium forward, and when they got to the point where they were comfortable, they always moved on.
