Edna St. Vincent Millay Quotes

Best Quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay (Top 10)

  1. I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year.
  2. Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell.
  3. Please give me some good advice in your next letter. I promise not to follow it.
  4. My heart is warm with the friends I make,And better friends I'll not be knowing,Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,No matter where it's going.
  5. My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - it gives a lovely light!
  6. Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely.
  7. I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.
  8. What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why, I have forgotten, and what arms have lain Under my head till morning, but the rain Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh Upon the glass and listen for reply, And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain For unremembered lads that not again Will turn to me at midnight with a cry. Thus in the winter stands the lonely tree, Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one, Yet knows its boughs more silent than before: I cannot say what loves have come and gone, I only know that summer sang in me A little while, that in me sings no more.
  9. After all my erstwhile dear, my no longer cherished; Need we say it was not love, just because it perished?
  10. I will be the gladdest thing under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.
