P.C. Home Page Recent Additions Second April by Edna St.Vincent Millay (Selected Poems) Spring T O what purpose, April, do you return again? Beauty is not enough. You can no longer quiet me with the redness Of little leaves opening stickily. I know what I know. The sun is hot on my neck as I observe The spikes of the crocus. The smell of the earth is good. It is apparent that there is no death. But what does that signify? Not only under ground are the brains of men Eaten by maggots. Life in itself Is nothing, An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs. It is not enough that yearly, down this hill, April Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers. Edna St. Vincent Millay City Trees T HE trees along this city street Save for the traffic and the trains, Would make a sound as thin and sweet As trees in country lanes. And people standing in their shade Out of a shower, undoubtedly Would hear such music as is made Upon a country tree. Oh, little leaves that are so dumb Against the shrieking city air, I watch you when the wind has come, I know what sound is there.

During the early 1920s she lived in Greenwich Village, New York City, and wrote satiric sketches for Vanity Fair under the pseudonym Nancy Boyd. Among her friends were Edmund

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) Contributing Editor: John J. Patton Classroom Issues and Strategies Students have few problems reading Millay's poetry because the poet is forthright in expressing her emotions, ideas, and experiences. Obviously such references as those to Euclid and Endymion require explanation. Occasionally the diction needs some explication because of Millay's fondness for archaic and Latinate words. Not much more is required than the teacher's ability to clarify some allusions and an occasional word or phrase. Any teacher of modern American literature should also have no problems with the references to city life and to issues of the times, which are generously sprinkled throughout Millay's work. As for accessibility, some benefit will come from placing Millay in the context of the poetry of the 1920s and 1930s as one of those like, for instance, Robert Frost , Archibald MacLeish, and Edward Arlington Robinson , who carried forward the more traditional verse form and techniques in the face of the experimentalism of T. S. Eliot

Steepletop Millay at the pool in the sunken gardens, c. 1940 Photographs courtesy of the Edna St. Vincent Millay Society. Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950), poet Steepletop, a two-story white clapboard house, was the country home of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay for 25 years and in many ways forms a striking memorial to her life. Millay's writing career began in childhood and attracted public attention in 1911 with the publication of "Renascence," a work which drew wide admiration and critical praise. She graduated from Vassar, became active in women's rights issues and incorporated activist themes into several of her poems and plays. Millay was awarded the 1923 Pulitzer Prize for The Harp Weaver and Other Poems, the work which best represents her romantic and dramatic emotional style. In 1925, Millay and her husband, Eugene Boissevain, purchased a berry farm in upstate New York, which they renamed "Steepletop" after the wildflowers that grew in nearby fields. Steepletop sheltered Millay from the outside world, and she composed many works there, including the libretto for the opera, The King's Henchman

She wasn't a rock star she was poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. By Laura Miller "People who never in all their lives, except when in school and under compulsion, have held a book of poems in their hands, might well be attracted by the erotic autobiography of a fairly conspicuous woman, even if she did write poetry." So wrote Edna St. Vincent Millay toward the end of her life, in response to a suggestion from her publisher that she put together a volume of her love poems that would contain "a mellow Foreword in retrospect" confiding "when, where, and under what impulsion" she wrote each one. As her editor knew, such a foreword the first-person account of a legendary amorous career that included a formidable number of men and women, single and married would probably wind up consuming more pages than the poems themselves.

skip to main skip to sidebar Notebooks - Los Cuadernos de Julia Artist's Notebooks - panoptical, erudite, genre-free. 21 January 2007 Sonnet no. 3 (Edna St Vincent Millay) Recently I've discovered the works of Edna St Vincent Millay, and I have already briefly analysed one of her sonnets here . I've also translated her poem, Thursday , from A Few Figs from Thistles But I must admit, I have fallen for Four Sonnets from the mentioned 1922 collection, and especially for the sonnet no. 3. I must also admit that, as I'm writing this, I'm still very much affected by this poem. I read it as a declaration of a free-spirited woman of her love for an equally free-spirited man, or better else - to liberate ourselves of any gender connotations - a declaration of a free-spirited individual to their soulmate. I am aware that the words Millay uses to describe the object of her affection - 'wanton', 'light', 'false', 'more changeful than the tide' - do not exactly conjure an image of a nice, reliable person. But Millay projects herself as 'faithful to love's self alone' and asserts that she would desert her beloved and seek another with the same ease - a hardly better image. Yet she's not to do so because they challenge each other, their freedom constantly makes them rediscover themselves and one other, and their love for freedom ultimately binds them together. Oh, think not I am faithful to a vow!
