EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY QUOTES

Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.

EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY, Wine from these Grapes

Sorrow like a ceaseless rain
Beats upon my heart.
People twist and scream in pain--
Dawn will find them still again;
This has neither wax nor wane,
Neither stop nor start.

EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY, "Sorrow"

Life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse.

EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY, "Ashes of Life"

Life in itself
Is nothing,
An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.

EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY, "Spring"

Need we say it was not love,
Now that love is perished?

EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY, "Passer Mortuus Est"

I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year.

EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY, Poems

Lost in Hell,-Persephone,
Take her head upon your knee;
Say to her, "My dear, my dear,
It is not so dreadful here."

EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY, Collected Poems

Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour,
Rains from the sky a meteoric shower
Of facts ... they lie unquestioned, uncombined.
Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill.

EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY, "Huntsman, what quarry?"

Longing alone is singer to the lute.

EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY, "Sonnet II"
