To the Not Impossible Him
How shall I know, unless I go
To Cairo and Cathay,
Whether or not this blessèd spot
Is blest in every way?
Now it may be, the flower for me
Is this beneath my nose;
How shall I tell, unless I smell
The Carthaginian rose?
The fabric of my faithful love
No power shall dim or ravel
Whilst I stay here,—but oh, my dear,
If I should ever travel!
– Edna St. Vincent Millay
Well, I can’t take any credit for this one. But it will forever be one of my favorites. I guess it says to me that it’s OK to dream. You can go wherever you want to in your head. Thanks for reading it!
So simple, yet elegant. Sigh!
well if that isn’t perfection……
Ah, that naughty Edna. I smile with every word… the meter is perfect for her lark, as well. Thanks for this…
