Late Supper

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.
Edna St. Vincent Millay, "A Few Figs from Thistles", 1920
US poet (1892 - 1950)

You are having a ball with poetry this week, aren't you? This is one of my favorites. It has such a modern sensibility, don't you think?

[Louise & Ken]

@allie912 "modern sensibility"...yes, it is telling of our times! This has been my favorite verse since I was in my early teens...which probably indicates how I live life! (I don't recall the picture, but I've used it before...)
