I once recited that entire poem…I don’t think I remember much of it now though…

_All I could see from where I stood
Was three long mountains and a wood
I turned and looked the other way
And saw three mountains and a bay
So with my eyes I traced the line
Of the horizon, thin and fine,..._

...ugh…I probably jumbled some of the words, and I don’t remember what comes next. But oh, how I love Edna St. Vincent Millay…I adore her poetry so very very much! She was a huge influence on me in high school, and I have pages and pages of poetry I wrote when I was a lovesick teenager that reflect her influence greatly.

She was such a young girl when she wrote “Renascence,” and so full of passion and life and compassion. I felt like I could relate to her.

If you hated this poem, please don’t tell me. I hold it near and dear to my heart and I don’t know if I could take the disappointment! :)
