blog inspiration poem, which all bloggers need
I, being born a woman and distressed
By all the needs and notions of my kind,
Am urged by your propinquity to find
Your person fair, and feel a certain zest
To bear your body's weight upon my breast:
So subtly is the fume of life designed,
To clarify the pulse and cloud the mind,
And leave me once again undone, possessed.
Think not for this, however, the poor treason
Of my stout blood against my staggering brain,
I shall remember you with love, or season
My scorn with pity, -let me make it plain:
I find this frenzy insufficient reason
For conversation when we meet again.
-Edna St. Vincent Millay
That Edna is a sassy lady. Many thanks to the oh, so hot Sarah for giving me this poem months ago when I was in the depths of post-relationship craziness. God, it's good to be out!
