From “Love Is Not All” by Edna St. Vincent Millay
1 Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
2 Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
3 Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
4 And rise and sink and rise and sink again;

5 Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
6 Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
7 Yet many a man is making friends with death
8 Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
