Edna St. Vincent Millay (Эдна Сент-Винсент Миллей)


Sonnet (Women Have Loved Before As I Love Now)


Women have loved before as I love now;
At least, in lively chronicles of the past—
Of Irish waters by a Cornish prow
Or Trojan waters by a Spartan mast
Much to their cost invaded—here and there,
Hunting the amorous line, skimming the rest,
I find some woman bearing as I bear
Love like a burning city in the breast.
I think however that of all alive
I only in such utter, ancient way
Do suffer love; in me alone survive
The unregenerate passions of a day
When treacherous queens, with death upon the tread,
Heedless and willful, took their knights to bed.



Edna St. Vincent Millay's other poems:
  1. The Snow Storm
  2. To S. M.
  3. Exiled
  4. Intention to Escape from Him
  5. Scrub
