I will be the gladdest thing under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.
Edna St. Vincent MillayPlease give me some good advice in your next letter. I promise not to follow it.
Edna St. Vincent MillayCurse thee, Life, I will live with thee no more! Thou hast mocked me, starved me, beat my body sore! And all for a pledge that was not pledged by me, I have kissed thy crust and eaten sparingly That I might eat again, and met thy sneers With deprecations, and thy blows with tears.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
