Poetry Quote by Edna St. Vincent Millay — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“SHE is neither pink nor pale,”

“And all at once the heavy night”

“Oh, friend, forget not, when you fain would note”

“Now goes under, and I watch it go under, the sun”

“After all, my erstwhile dear,”

“The first rose on my rose-tree”

“I am republic”

“لم يعد يستهويني تقمص كل تلك الشخوص دون فائدة ، كل ما أريده الآن أن أكون شخصا واحدا...أنا نفسي و بدون قناع”

“At first I protested and rebelled against poetry. I was about to deny my poetic worlds. I was doing violence to my illusions with analysis, science, and learning Henry’s language, entering Henry’s world. I wanted to destroy by violence and animalism my tenuous fantasies and illusions and my hypersensitivity. A kind of suicide. The ignominy awakened me. Then June came and answered the cravings of my imagination and saved me. Or perhaps she killed me, for now I am started on a course of madness.”

“And in the end,”

“Show me slowly what I only”

“One breath taken completely; one poem, fully written, fully read - in such a moment, anything can happen.”
