“Collected Sonnets” by Edna St. Vincent Millay

“Never Cry Wolf” by Farley Mowat

“Winterlust” by Bernd Brunner

Oh, my beloved, have you thought of this: How in the years to come unscrupulous Time, More cruel than Death, will tear you from my kiss—?

Edna St. Vincent Millay, excerpt of Oh My Beloved

[antigonick]

I turn away reluctant from your light, And stand irresolute, a mind undone, A silly, dazzled thing deprived of sight From having looked too long upon the sun.

Edna St. Vincent Millay, excerpt of When I Too Long Have Looked

[antigonick]

A treacherous messenger, the thought of you Comes to destroy me—

Edna St. Vincent Millay, excerpt of Once More Into My Arid Days

[antigonick]

Edna St. Vincent Millay, excerpt of Oh, Think Not I am Faithful
