Bibliography Most of Millay's papers are at the New York Public Library, Yale University, and the Library of Congress.. . .
Notable from the posthumous Mine the Harvest (1954) are Millay's delight that "thought unbraids itself" ("Ragged Island"), her conceited disgust with time-consuming visitors--"What chores these churls do put upon the great" ("Cave Canem"), and Christ's warning to His followers, "No shelter will be found / Save in my shadow" ("Jesus to His Disciples").

In the same book "The Spring and the Fall" bitterly contrasts a lover's vernal attention and his autumnal gibes and concludes that "'Tis not love's going hurts my days, / But that it went in little ways." The Buck in the Snow (1928) proved unpopular, perhaps because it features much experimental verse; for example, "The Pigeons" contains one line of twenty-five syllables.
. . .
Its lyricism, praise of beauty, freedom, and individualism, and technical virtuosity are timeless.
. . .
She should also be remembered, however, for her "Second Fig" (1920): "Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand: / Come see my shining palace built upon the sand!" Her "shining" poetry should never fall out of fashion.

. . .
I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death; I am not on his pay-roll.
. . .
Perhaps because she was one's Lost Youth one felt sorry for her and worshipped her at the same time.
. . .

Edna St. Vincent Millay - New World Encyclopedia
Vincent Millay (February 22, 1892 – October 19, 1950) was a lyrical poet and playwright and the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.. . .
