And if I loved you Wednesday, Well, what is that to you? I do not love you Thursday— So much is true. And why you come complaining Is more than I can see. I loved you Wednesday,—yes—but what Is that to me?

A photograph of Edna St Vincent Millay, underneath the words "Legacy Library."
Today is the birthday of American poet and playwright #EdnaStVincentMillay, who won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1923. Her personal library, still intact at her home, Steepletop—now a museum—has been cataloged on LibraryThing as part of our Legacy Libraries project. #💙📚 #Booksky

“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!”

Edna St. Vincent Millay
Reveal yourself to yourself. Do not take refuge in a mirage. To keep your dignity, you will first have to re-create it. Internalize it, vitalize it, tremble before it, sleep with it. You merely need to feel it severely.

She is neither pink nor pale, And she never will be all mine; She learned her hands in a fairy-tale, And her mouth on a valentine. She has more hair than she needs; In the sun 'tis a woe to me! And her voice is a string of colored beads, Or steps leading into the sea. She loves me all that she can, And her ways to my ways resign; But she was not made for any man, And she never will be all mine.

It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—

GROWN-UP Was it for this I uttered prayers, And sobbed and cursed and kicked the stairs, That now, domestic as a plate, I should retire at half-past eight?
A poem from Edna St. Vincent Millay, published in 1922 when she was thirty.

!["Her lawn looks like a meadow,
And if she mows the place
She leaves the clover standing
And the Queen Anne's Lace."
- Edna St. Vincent Millay
Today's featured artwork features one of the two plants mentioned in the quote: "Daucus Carota: Queen Anne's Lace," is a 48x28" Acrylic on Canvas from July 2025. A snippet of this artwork was featured two weeks ago when we shared how we were trying to do some batik artwork on a larger scale wall-hanging format. At that time we shared that we were awaiting the results of the jurying session for this piece; now, the results are in and this piece will be included in the exhibition! Closer to time, we'll be sharing more information on the "Unraveled" Fibers Exhibition to be held at CALC later in 2025!
Artist's Statement / Backstory: There's just something about Queen Anne's Lace that's held my fascination for years! I remember when I was younger, probably Middle School aged, I would sit with my sketchbook and work to capture each little floral bloom on the face of the flower as a late summer breeze moved the bloom I was so intently focused on. About ten years ago, I made a 12x12" acrylic painting, when I noticed their blooms amidst the wildflowers late in the day. [Images of that painting are available as cards and prints; which people always seem to respond positively when viewing.] Now I've created my largest piece featuring Queen Anne's Lace using layers of wax and color to achieve three large beautiful blooms! I hope you enjoy this piece [and Queen Anne's Lace] as much as I do!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5m64ly2e37c6uhrukospoqd/bafkreidr4ptrx7xxcp6gtgau33qlrhneomvmc3ercrfd62r7daula6xuqi)

Two side-by-side photos of pages in a spiral-bound journal with light turquoise ribbon along the side with pages dotted in a grid fashion. A poem is written in fancy lettering across the two pages, mostly in purple fineliner, with some words capitalized in black. The title, "Recuerdo", is in thin block letters, next to a doodle of the Staten Island ferry in New York. The text reads: We were very TIRED we were very MERRY we had gone back and forth all night on the FERRY it was BARE and BRIGHT and smelled like a STABLE BUT we looked into a FIRE we LEANED across a table we lay on a HILLTOP underneath the MOON and the WHISTLES kept blowing and the DAWN came soon we were very tired we were very merry we had gone back and forth all night on the ferry and you ate an APPLE and I ate a PEAR from a dozen of each we had bought SOMEWHERE and the sky went WAN and the wind came COLD and the sun rose dripping a bucketfull of GOLD we were VERY tired we were VERY MERRY we had gone BACK and FORTH ALL NIGHT on the ferry we hailed GOOD MORROW mother to a SHAWL-COVERED HEAD and we bought a MORNING PAPER which NEITHER of us read she WEPT "God bless you for the apples and pears" and we gave her ALL our money but our SUBWAY FARES. Edna St. Vincent Millay (on a memory in New York, written in 1919).
One of my new favourite poems, as I drew out in my journal from memory 💕
