More quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Should at that moment the full moon Step forth upon the hill, And memories hard to bear at noon, By moonlight harder still, Form in the shadows of the trees, - Things that you could not spare And live, or so you thought, yet these All gone, and you still there, A man no longer what he was, Not yet the thing he planned.
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

Edna St. Vincent Millay
I have loved badly, loved the great Too soon, withdrawn my words too late And eaten in an echoing hall Alone and from a chipped plate The words that I withdrew too late.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
If ever I said in grief or pride, I'd tired of honest things, I lied.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale, And her mouth on a valentine.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I will come back to you, I swear I will And you will know me still. I shall be only a little taller Than when I went.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I am not afraid of lawyers as I used to be. They are lambs in wolves' clothing.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Cut if you will with sleep's dull knife, the years from off your life, my friend! the years that death takes off my life, he'll take from off the other end!
Edna St. Vincent Millay
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another it is one damn thing over and over.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love is not all it is not meat nor drink.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
There is no shelter in you anywhere.
