Well, I have lost you; and I lost you fairly;
In my own way, and with my full consent.
Say what you will, kings in a tumbrel rarely
Went to their deaths more proud than this one went.

And no such summer as the one before.
Should I outlive this anguish-and men do-
I shall have only good to say of you. - Edna St. Vincent Millay

Think not for this, however, the poor treason
Of my stout blood against my staggering brain,
I shall remember you with love, or season
My scorn with pity - let me make it plain:
I find this frenzy insufficient reason
For conversation when we meet again. - Edna St. Vincent Millay
