„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, A Few Figs from Thistles
"First Fig" from A Few Figs from Thistles (1920)
„My heart is warm with friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing,
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going.“
— Edna St. Vincent Millay, The Selected Poetry
"Travel", st. 3, Second April, 1921
„The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide“
— Edna St. Vincent Millay
Context: The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide;
Above the world is stretched the sky, —
No higher than the soul is high.
The heart can push the sea and land
Farther away on either hand;
The soul can split the sky in two,
And let the face of God shine through.
But East and West will pinch the heart
That can not keep them pushed apart;
And he whose soul is flat — the sky
Will cave in on him by and by.
"Renascence" (1912), st. 20, Renascence and Other Poems (1917)
„Many a bard's untimely death
Lends unto his verses breath“
— Edna St. Vincent Millay
Context: Many a bard's untimely death
Lends unto his verses breath;
Here's a song was never sung:
Growing old is dying young.
"To a Poet Who Died Young" in Second April (1921), p. 52
