Easter Sunday: Edna St. Vincent Millay: Renascence
Sunday, March 23, 2008 • 3:31 pm
I only know there came to me a fragrance such as never clings to aught save happy living things; a sound as of some joyous elf singing sweet songs to please himself and, through and over everything, a sense of glad awakening.

Edna St. Vincent Millay, Renascence

Comments:

Wow!  First Herbert, then Hopkins, now St Vincent Millay.  Three of my favorites.  A Holy Week trifecta.  Thank you, Sarah Hey.

You might want to read the recent biography of Edna St. Vincent Millay.  Her poetry was quite wonderful, her life would make an angel blush.

Hope,
Do you refer to “What Lips My Lips Have Kissed” by Daniel Mark Epstein?  A very good bio.

I wish I could remember the name.  I read it six-seven years ago, maybe?  A VERY large, long, thoroughly researched book.  Absolutely fascinating, in a weird depraved way.
