I'm so glad you enjoyed the post -- I hesitated re-posting, but it's go to know that those who weren't visiting here 4 years ago might find it worthwhile.<br />Marsha: I'm glad you had a chance to think twice about her -- Mitford's biography is worth looking at as well, if you get a chance.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-28331431924502184222011-11-26T10:06:33.116-08:002011-11-26T10:06:33.116-08:00I have never properly appreciated Millay until bec...I have never properly appreciated Millay until becoming acquainted here with this poem; when I first began reading this posting, I almost skipped it until I read her "fabulous line" and decided to revisit my earlier opinion and continue. I am very glad I did.

It's interesting to see that she recognizes the season as "harvest," which I think of as hectically busy, but she as a moment of stillness.<br /><br />Interesting. I was not a reader of your blog 4 years ago, so I'm very glad to read this post.<br /><br />It's always best to listen to our bodies when they begin to protest. I hope you find relief over the weekend.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.com
