Poetry Friday: First Fig
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.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

Beautiful. I just want to know what happens when the light goes out!
Sounds like she needs to light a couple more!
So beautiful! I love Millay's poetry. :)
I feel like the fire is going to meet in the middle soon. I need a way out.
Beautiful poem.
That is so beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.
Millay's poem says so much with so few words about appreciating the light in the darkness, recognizing the beauty of life even as we lose it. So lovely. Thank you.
