If I could have two things in one:the peace of the grave,
and the light of the sun.
This was the message on my page-a-day calendar at work this morning, kind of a doozy for today, these incredible opening lines of Edna St. Vincent Millay's Moriturus.

She must have been utterly depressed at the time.
I love Edna St. Vincent Millay. And yes, I do believe she struggled a lot in her life, so she very well could have been depressed at the time of that poem. Nevertheless, I love her work. And these photos are great!
i love how even if we share nothing else during the day we share a thought in the morning
I gave you a shout out today!

i like it...comforting in a way
Oh me too. I get this every year. I can't live without it. I read this one aloud to a patron at work but she didn't like it. I found it lovely.
I'm sorry though all that is too close for you right now. Sounds like a really rough time.
At first the two seem incongruous or opposites, but upon thinking deeper I think it means 'quiet stillness in sunlight'
