Edna St Vincent Millay
is known as one of the
more notorious free spirits
of her time.
Her affairs were many,
with both men and women,
and her fame and popularity
as a poet showered her
with the kind of adulation
we confer upon rock stars
today.
Her passion for living
is expressed in the immortal
line of her poem:
"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!"
