The soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through.
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
A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down. If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it is a bad book nothing can help him.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
L 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
Love is not all it is not meat nor drink Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Her lawn looks like a meadow, And if she mows the place She leaves the clover standing And the Queen Anne's Lace.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
God, I can push the grass apart and lay my finger on Thy heart.
