A response from Millay herself—"Ah, drink again,/This river that is the taker-away of pain,/And the giver-back of beauty." It is my (very uninformed) opinion on occasion that Millay had the soul of the written word that Frost was searching for.
Oh this is very kind. Thank you! I am a sucker for conversations about all things 20th century poets and on right up until whoever is writing this very second. I appreciate your response :)

Ani! It is my (very uninformed) opinion on you that leads me to believe you’re more informed than you’re letting on.
I will gladly speak to Millay through you all day & I look forward to connecting with your work.
