Quote of the Day (Edna St. Vincent Millay, on Letting ‘The Face of God Shine Through’)


“The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide;
Above the world is stretched the sky,—
No higher than the soul is high.
The heart can push the sea and land
Farther away on either hand;
The soul can split the sky in two,
And let the face of God shine through.”—American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950), “Renascence,” in Collected Lyrics (1969)
