chumulu: Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour,
Rains from the sky a meteoric shower
Of facts . . . they lie unquestioned, uncombined.
Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill
Is daily spun; but there exists no loom
To weave it into fabric
-- Edna St. Vincent Millay
katyh: It came out blazing so hard; you knew it couldn't sustain that energy, but it was amazing while it lasted. Kind of like that Edna St. Vincent Millay poem, except instead of a candle burning fast and furious at both ends, it was a model home giving off the lovely light.

Of the voice that meant to sing; the sound of the

Voice breaking.
Strange in my hand appears
The pen, and yours broken.
There are ink and tears on the page; only the tears
Have spoken.

No_way_but_this: Never May the Fruit Be Picked
Edna St. Vincent Millay - 1892-1950
Never, never may the fruit be plucked from the bough
And gathered into barrels.
He that would eat of love must eat it where it hangs.
Though the branches bend like reeds,
fraveris: “ You are a thousand flowers, you are a meadow full of them.”
Edna St. Vincent Millay.
hasudi: “I will be the gladdest thing under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.”

parisreview: “April brings the sense—everything stirring, about to burst or bursting—that one is waking up from a dream, or moving into another one. It ‘comes like an idiot,’ as Edna St. Vincent Millay puts it, ‘babbling and strewing flowers.’ ”

Life must go on;
I forget just why.

Here is one from my fav, Edna St. Vincent Millay.
Palvashits: "Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned."

UnderAntares: “Longing alone is singer to the lute;
Let still on nettles in the open sigh
The minstrel, that in slumber is as mute
As any man, and love be far and high,
That else forsakes the topmost branch, a fruit
Found on the ground by every passer-by.”
-Edna St Vincent Millay
