penni,

two wonderful examples of Millay. Second Fig is a favorite which shows , what I have felt, is a rare whimsy on her part. First Fig is another:

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light!


Even in humor there is a hint of irony that cast a thoughtful shadow.

Best,
Stitch
