Edna St Vincent Millay Quotes

Oh, children, growing up to be adventurers into sophistry, forbear, forbear to be of those that read the rood to learn the rose Picture Quote #1

Pity me that the heart is slow to learn what the swift mind beholds at every turn Picture Quote #1

I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year Picture Quote #1

If I love you Wednesday, What is that to you? I do not love you Thursday - so much is true Picture Quote #1

After all my erstwhile dear, my no longer cherished; Need we say it was not love, just because it perished? Picture Quote #1

I know what my heart is like Since your love died: It is like a hollow ledge Holding a little pool Left there by the tide, A little tepid pool, Drying inward from the edge Picture Quote #1

They say when you are missing someone that they are probably feeling the same, but I don't think it's possible for you to miss me as much as I'm missing you right now Picture Quote #1

Night falls fast. Today is in the past. Blown from the dark hill hither to my door three flakes, then four arrive, then many more Picture Quote #1

And he whose soul is flat - the sky will cave in on him by and by Picture Quote #1

I, being born a woman and distressed by all the needs and notions of my kind Picture Quote #1

Oh, friend, forget not, when you fain would note in me a beauty that was never mine, how first you knew me in a book I wrote, how first you loved me for a written line Picture Quote #1

My heart is warm with the 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 Picture Quote #1

Cruel of heart, lay down my song. Your reading eyes have done me wrong. Not for you was the pen bitten, and the mind wrung, and the song written Picture Quote #1

This book, when I am dead, will be A little faint perfume of me. People who knew me well will say, She really used to think that way Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

But you, you foolish girl, you have gone home to a leaky castle across the sea to lie awake in linen smelling of lavender, and hear the nightingale, and long for me Picture Quote #1

To a Young Poet Time cannot break the bird's wing from the bird. Bird and wing together Go down, one feather. No thing that ever flew, Not the lark, not you, Can die as others do Picture Quote #1

I saw and heard, and knew at last the how and why of all things, past, and present, and forevermore Picture Quote #1

But you were something more than young and sweet and fair, and the long year remembers you Picture Quote #1

A ghost in marble of a girl you knew who would have loved you in a day or two Picture Quote #1

Ah, I could lay me down in this long grass and close my eyes, and let the quiet wind blow over me Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I do not think there is a woman in whom the roots of passion shoot deeper than in me Picture Quote #1

The fabric of my faithful love no power shall dim or ravel whilst I stay here - but oh, my dear, if I should ever travel! Picture Quote #1

Sweet love, sweet thorn, when lightly to my heart. I took your thrust, whereby I since am slain, And I lie disheveled in the grass apart, A sodden thing bedrenched by tears and rain Picture Quote #1

Not poppy, nor mandrake, nor all the drowsy syrups of the world, shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep, which thou owest yesterday Picture Quote #1
