Explore "Oh, Sleep Forever" by Edna St. Vincent Millay on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Oh, sleep forever in the Latmian cave, / Mortal Endymion, darling of the Moon! Her silver garments by the senseless wave
Shouldered and dropped and on the shingle strewn, / Her fluttering hand against her forehead pressed, / Her scattered looks that trouble all the sky, / Her rapid footsteps running down the west- of all her altered state, oblivious lie! Whom earthen you, by deathless lips adored, / Wild-eye d and stammering to the grasses thrust, / And deep into her crystal body poured
The ho t and sorrowful sweetness of the dust:
WhereOf she wanders mad, being all unfit
For mortal love, that might not die of it .
