Millay?
I LOVE HER, I LOVE HER, I LOVE HER!
you didn't ask me, but i LOVE EDNA.
if only i could feel this way about a man.
if only i could find a man who writes like Enda.
yso- how is it we spent 20 hours together in a
japanese compact car and did not discuss ms. millay?!
she wasn't a very nice woman though. rather catty.
rather self-centered. but she could write.
she got a pulitizer. i hate her.
there's a new book out on her...savage beauty by nancy
milford.
for those not yet acquainted with ms. millay, here's a
sample (my favorite):
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 cannot 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.
It well may be that in a difficult hour,
Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
Or nagged by want past resolution's power
I might be driven to sell your love for peace
Or trade the memory of this night for food.
It well may be. I do not think I would.
regards,
liesel
