To the not Impossible Him

Explore "To the not Impossible Him" by Edna St. Vincent Millay on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

How shall I know, unless I go / To Cairo and Cathay,

Whether or not this blessèd spot / Is blest in every way?

Now it may be, the flower for me / Is this beneath my nose;

How shall I tell, unless I smell / The Carthaginian rose?

The fabric of my faithful love / No power shall dim or ravel

Whilst I stay here,-but oh, my dear, / If I should ever travel!
