Edna St. Vincent Millay writes about darkness, fear, and yearning. She describes stepping into darkness with wise and lovely hearts, and she shows how grief can shatter a rose that once bloomed. She also reaches for the sky, feeling the dust on her eyes, and reminds us that even in loss we can still try to touch something higher.
