Pity me that the heart is slow to learn What the swift mind beholds at every turn.
More Quotes from Edna St. Vincent Millay:
For a spirit spent in death.Edna St. Vincent Millay
The world stands out on either side No wider than the heart is wide Above the world is stretched the sky, No higher than the soul is high. The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on either hand The soul can split the sky in two, And let the face of God shine through But East and West will pinch the heart That cannot keep them pushed apart And he whose soul is flatthe sky Will cave in on him by and by.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
