DIRGE WITHOUT MUSIC I am not resigned To the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground. So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind: Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely Gently they go, the beautiful and the tender Quietly they go, the intelligent, and the brave; Crowned with lilies and with laurel. Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you. Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust. A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew, A formula, a phrase remains, but the best is lost. The answers quick and keen, the honest look, the laughter. They are gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve. Edna St. Vincent Millay
