EDNA ST. VINCENT SENTENCE STARTERS
âlove has gone and left me and the days are all alikeâ
âlove has gone and left me and I donât know what to doâ
âthereâs little use in anything as far as I can see â
âlife goes on forever â
âsorrow is like a ceaseless rain â
âIâve been a wicked girl â
âbut if I canât be sorry, why, I might as well be glad â
âlife is a quest and love a quarrel â
âdaisies spring from damnèd seedsâ
âall the things we ever knew will be ashesâ
ânothing will know that you are gone â
âbeauty  may not die as long as there are flowers and you and song â
âwhat lips my lips have kissed â
âand in my heart there stirs a quiet painâ
âI know I am but summer to your heart â
â I have loved you all too long and well â
âI think I should have loved you presently â
âI know what my heart is likeâ
âbeauty is not enough â
âyou can no longer quiet meâ
âI know what I know â
âit is apparent that there is no deathâ
âlife in itself is nothing â
âdeath devours all lovely thingsâ
âif I weep it will not matter â
âfoolish am I to think about itâ
âI was afraid and turned to youâ
âtime does not bring reliefâ
âchildhood is the kingdom where nobody diesâ
âI love humanity but I hate people â
âwhat should I be but just what I am? â
âthere is no shelter in you anywhere â
âlife must go on; I forget just why â
âI will come back to you, I swear I willâ
âIt is not so dreadful here â
âI would blossom if I were a rose â
âI know, but I do not approveâ
âyou are a burning lamp to me, a flame â
âgrief of grief has drained me clean â
âthere are a hundred places where I fear to goâ
âyou were something more than young and sweetâ
âthe rain is full of ghosts tonight â
â I am weary of words and people â
âI have learned to fail â
âand you as well must die â
âI do not believe in the essential goodness of man â
âI shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death â
âI avoid the looming visitorâ
âam I kin to sorrow? â
