Edna St. Vincent Millay
O troubled forms, O early love unfortunate and hard, Time has estranged you into a jewel cold and pure
Edna St. Vincent Millay

Edna St. Vincent Millay
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
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.
