More quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay
pity me that the heart is slow to learn what the swift mind beholds at every turn.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
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
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 And rise and sink and rise and sink again Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone Yet many a man is making friends with death Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
You are loved. If so, what else matters?

Edna St. Vincent Millay
My candle burns at both ends it will not last the night but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - it gives a lovely light!
Edna St. Vincent Millay
But far, oh, far as passionate eye can reach, And long, ah, long as rapturous eye can cling, The world is mine: blue hill, still silver lake, Broad field, bright flower, and the long white road A gateless garden, and an open path: My feet to follow, and my heart to hold.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love is not all it is not meat nor drink.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
A grave is such a quiet place.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
