back to Edna St. Vincent Millay

“Feast” by Edna St. Vincent Millay 🇺🇸 (22 Feb 1892 – 19 Oct 1950)
I drank at every vine.
The last was like the first.
I came upon no wine
So wonderful as thirst.
​
I gnawed at every root.
I ate of every plant.
I came upon no fruit
So wonderful as want.
​
Feed the grape and bean
To the vintner and monger;
I will lie down lean
With my thirst and my hunger.
