Poetry Drop - Dirge Without Music by Edna St. Vincent Millay

[@maybeerainmaybeesnow]

I was introduced to this poem through an amazing scene in "The Hero." What an understanding of life and death, transitioning to wherever it is we go, if we go anywhere..... I connect to these words and ideas so deeply.

I can't read this without crying. Good job, I'm glad you got the "shutting" the second time.

I cannot read this aloud and make it through to the end.
Thank you, Beaverton Library!

Actually, the line reads ""... the shutting--not "shuttering"--away of loving hearts... ""
