"Think not I am Faithful" by Edna St. Vincent Millay (poetry reading)

[kiwinemissus]

Wow.

[jbearden]

Finally, the truth about women.

I am right there with you...I agree wholeheartedly...yes..she expresses what it is like to be a human here on earth...to be me...YES! thank you. I never tire of her.

SV, your second paragraph is so true!!

(I'd quote it but for the character-limitation here.)

I like the cut of your jib.

I appreciate your comments in the side bar. I appreciate them experientially.

[EyeLean5280]

Interesting.

I also enjoyed your comments regarding Millay's critics.

Thanks.

'thank you for uploading more of Edna's work...she is my favourite I think. I came across her poem "Time Does Not Bring Relief" on a poster in a corridor at Secondary School English Deptartment. I read it every day walking past, I looked it up in bookshops on days out to the town centre. My first wage I bought a book of her work! She was a facinating character!

What an excellent sonnet -- and, as usual, beautifully read. Her sense of playfulness and her love of paradox seems deeply indebted to the Renaissance, and reminds one of what is missing from too much of twentieth and twenty-first century poetry -- wit, charm, sting, cleverness, gracefulness.

[aesthetic1950]

I miss that too-"wit, charm, sting, cleverness, gracefulness."
