Quotes about: Soul

• The soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through.

  Edna St. Vincent Millay

  God, Sky, Two

  "Renascence" l. 207 (1917)

• The world stands out on either side No wider than the heart is wide; Above the world is stretched the sky, No higher than the soul is high. The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on either hand; The soul can split the sky in two, And let the face of God shine through. But East and West will pinch the heart That can not keep them pushed apart; And he whose soul is flat—the sky Will cave in on him by and by.

  Edna St. Vincent Millay (2013). “Early Poems”, p.8, Courier Corporation

• For my omniscience paid I toll In infinite remorse of soul. All sin was of my sinning, all Atoning mine, and mine the gall Of all regret. Mine was the weight Of every brooded wrong, the hate That stood behind each envious thrust, Mine every greed, mine every lust. And all the while for every grief, Each suffering, I craved relief With individual desire, – Craved all in vain! And felt fierce fire About a thousand people crawl; Perished with each, — then mourned for all!

  Edna St. Vincent Millay

  Regret, Hate, Grief
