Edna St. Vincent Millay Quotes About Songs

Quotes about: Songs

• 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.

  Edna St. Vincent Millay

  Song, Reading, Heart

  Edna St. Vincent Millay (1991). “Edna St. Vincent Millay: selected poems : the centenary edition”, Harpercollins

• Ah, drink again This river that is the taker-away of pain, And the giver-back of beauty! In these cool waves What can be lost?-- Only the sorry cost Of the lovely thing, ah, never the thing itself! The level flood that laves The hot brow And the stiff shoulder Is at our temples now. Gone is the fever, But not into the river; Melted the frozen pride, But the tranquil tide Runs never the warmer for this, Never the colder. Immerse the dream. Drench the kiss. Dip the song in the stream.
