More From Edna St. Vincent Millay

Spring to what purpose, april, do you return again? beauty is not enough. you can no longer quiet me with the redness of little leaves opening stickily. i know what i know. the sun is hot on my neck as i observe the spikes of the crocus. the smell of the earth is good. it is apparent that there is no death. but what does that signify? not only under ground are the brains of men eaten by maggots. life in itself is nothing, an empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs. it is not enough that yearly, down this hill, april comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.
Spring Flower Men
Life in itself / is nothing, / an empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs. / it is not enough that yearly, down this hill, / april / comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.
Flower Cups April
In the autumn i gathered all my sorrows and buried them in my garden. and when april returned and spring came to wed the earth, there grew in my garden beautiful flowers unlike all other flowers. and my neighbors came to behold them, and they all said to me, "when autumn comes again, at seeding time, will you not give us of the seeds of these flowers that we may have them in our gardens?"

Today is april 1, april fools' day, a day that people try to fool their friends and relatives. don't confuse that with april 15, when people try to fool the irs.

Silence is an ocean. speech is a river. when the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Ocean Sight Rivers
For april sobs while these are so glad april weeps while these are so gay,- weeps like a tired child who had, playing with flowers, lost its way.

Three children have become adults since a phone call with jo rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands.

I find the way the left comes up with these analogies interesting. trump is a child. we can't have a child run our country. the whole left has been turned into nothing but a bunch of people who never got out of day care, for crying out loud! they still live their lives as adults as though they're still in day care.
Running Country Children
Slowly i began to realize that the bells and the confinement, the crazy sequences, the age-segregation, the lack of privacy, the constant surveillance, and all the rest of the national curriculum of schooling were designed exactly as if someone had set out to prevent children from learning how to think and act, to coax them into addiction and dependent behavior.
