St. Vincent Millay: I am not resigned
23 September 2022
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.
—Edna St. Vincent Millay, “Dirge Without Music” from Collected Poems
This is so lovely...thank you!
