Selected Poems And Sonnets of Edna St. Vincent Millay

Avifa khrns

Her poems are simple yet talk so much about love and sorrow, combining them with glasses of nature and seasons. I need more time to understand her sonnets, but there's a lot of her poems that strike me since the first read! My personal favorite might be "Departure" (i interpret it as about quarter life crisis phase, you just want to escape without any penny of thought!)

Other fav line from "pity me not because the light of day": 

Love is no more than the wide blossom which the wind assails,
Than the great tide that treads the shifting shore.
Strewing fresh wreckage gathered in the gales;
Pity me that the heart is slow to learn.
