It's little I know what's in my heart,What's in my mind it's little I know,But there's that in me must up and start,And it's little I care where my feet go.

More quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay
When you are corn and roses and at rest I shall endure, a dense and sanguine ghost To haunt the scene where I was happiest To bend above the thing I loved the most
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
Beauty never slumbers All is in her name But the rose remembers The dust from which it came.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

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
When I can make Of ten small words a rope to hang the world! I had you and I have you now no more.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year.
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
Youth, have no pity leave no farthing here For age to invest in compromise and fear.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
After the feet of beauty fly my own.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love is not all it is not meat nor drink.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Beauty in all things-no, we cannot hope for that but some place set apart for it.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death I am not on his pay-roll.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I am not at all in favor of hard work for its own sake many people who work very hard indeed produce terrible things, and should most certainly not be encouraged.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Not for the flag Of any land because myself was born there Will I give up my life. But I will love that land where man is free, And that will I defend.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
There is no shelter in you anywhere.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Please don't think me negligent or rude. I am both, in effect, of course, but please don't think me either.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Beauty is whatever gives joy.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale, And her mouth on a valentine.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Life has no friend.
