Quote of the Day

We need to be in control of ourselves - our appetites, our passions - to do right by others. It takes will to keep emotion under the control of reason. ~ Thomas Lickona

Poetry Friday: Edna St. Vincent Millay

Grown Up

Was it for this I uttered prayers,
And sobbed and cursed and kicked the stairs,
That now, domestic as a plate,
I should retire at half-past eight?

-- Edna St. Vincent Millay


not that I actually go to bed at 8:30, but I often wish I had. Click here to find other Poetry Friday bloggers.
