Explore "Evening on Lesbos" by Edna St. Vincent Millay on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Twice having seen your shingled heads adorable / Side by side, the onyx and the gold, / I know that I have had what I could not hold.
Twice have I entered the room, not knowing she was here.
Two agate eyes, two eyes of malachite, / Twice have been turned upon me, hard and bright.
Whereby I know my loss.
Oh, not restorable / Sweet incense, mounting in the windless night!
