Splash du Jour: Thursday

Belated Birthday Greetings to Edna.

Yesterday was the birthday of one of my favorite poets of all time.
Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950), born Feb.22nd in Rockland, ME.
Of the hazards of her profession, she once remarked: “A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down… If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it is a bad book, nothing can help him.”

Have a great Thursday!

    I've always been a big fan of her "Love Is Not All"

    She is a gem.
    An American treasure.
    There is just no other way to say it.
