Explore "Felicity of Grief!" by Edna St. Vincent Millay on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Felicity of Grief! -even Death being kind, / Reminding us how much we dared to love! There, once, the challenge lay,-like a light glove
Dropped as through carelessness-easy to find
Means and excuse for being somewhat blind
Just at that moment; and why bend above, / Take up, such certain anguish for the mind? Ah, you who suffer now as I now do, / Seeing, of Life's dimensions, not one left
Save Time-long days somehow to be lived through:
Think-Of how great a thing were you bereft
That it should weigh so now! -and that you knew
Always, its awkward contours, and its heft.
