hello, I love your icon, where does it come from?

[yarki]

It is the lovely Edna Saint Vincent Millay. I love her poetry.
how did you find my LJ?

[baroque_poison]

I can't remember exactly. I remember I saw your icon and found her very sweet.
I don't know this poetess, I rather read french poetry. Is she english, american?

[yarki]

she is American, from the 1920s. she is considered the voice of the Jazz Age, and I love her style. i can't find a translated poem, but here's one of her sonnets in english: http://www.cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi/Poetry/Millay/Love_Is_Not_All.html

Alors, vous etes francaise? J'avais etudie le francais a l'ecole. Quelle belle langue!

This poem is beautiful! I'm going to do research about her on the internet. Thanks! I should know more english and american poetry!

Oui je suis française! êtes-vous américaine vous-même? Nous pouvons parler français parfois si vous voulez. Ainsi, vous améliorerez votre français ;)

Rose rose rose red, shall I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will, sire, at thy will.

we used to sing this canoeing along, or just at evening campfires looking out over the sun setting behind the mountains. you make me miss all of that.
