Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink

Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;

Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, —Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
—Edna St. Vincent Millay
