Let us forget such words, and all they mean, / as · Edna St. Vincent Millay

Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand: /

Let us forget such words, and all they mean, / as Hatred, Bitterness and Rancor, Greed, / Intolerance, Bigotiy; let us renew / our faith and pledge to Man, his right to be / Himself, and free.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

1892-02-22 — 1950-10-19 · Rockland

Edna St. Vincent Millay was a prominent American poet and playwright, celebrated for her lyrical verse and her passionate, often rebellious, spirit. A leading voice of the "Lost Generation," her work captured the zeitgeist of the Jazz Age with its themes of love, freedom, social injustice, and the complexities of modern life. Millay's skillful use of traditional forms, such as the sonnet, combined with her bold modern sensibilities, earned her widespread acclaim and a devoted readership.
