"I borrowed this beautiful old edition from my father. Inside there was a newspaper clipping with a few more poems, the newspaper had stained the pages of the book dark brown where it was pressed.
"Edna St. Vincent Millay is one of my all-time favorite poets. I really love and feel deep connection with her, and have for several years. I have "The Selected Poetry of..." back home in a box somewhere. This book was good, although it left out plenty of great poems that are in that other book. It did, however, include "Renascence," "Interim," "Sorrow" and several others that are just mesmerizing. I can't resist the temptation to put some of my favorite lines here...
Millay on depression:
"Sorrow like a ceaseless rain Beats upon my heart."
Millay on breakups:
"Time does not bring relief; you all have lied Who told me time would ease me of my pain! I miss him in the weeping of the rain; I want him at the shrinking of the tide""
"The lyric poems here--aside perhaps from the title poem--don't do much for me, but it was her sonnets that drew me to Millay, and half of the six included in this (her first collection) really blow my skirt up."
