I've heard that St.V-M was lesbian and of course there are many places in her writing where there is a tinge of same sex love. It's one of the things that makes her poetry so beautiful, that she is willing to say it.<br /><br />The important line to me, which my mother used to quote frequently and (maybe?) I've learned well, is "my dear my dear, it is not so dreadful here".Lilylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328027965155428624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-39348271836482936942009-04-26T05:47:00.000-07:002009-04-26T05:47:00.000-07:00I'm glad that it's not so dreadful there; you've b...I'm glad that it's not so dreadful there; you've been in my thoughts these past few days.ginjnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-69040020426393865452009-04-26T04:55:00.000-07:002009-04-26T04:55:00.000-07:00The Millay poem reminds me of Sappho.

A few years ago I read through in Greek all of the poems of Sappho that are complete enough to make sense of, with a lesbian student (now living in Portland) whom I had helped with the readings in her advanced Greek course. Sappho was popular with the generation of Millay, but does not seem to be well known at this time.LinguistFriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695715246663202212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-76368602980436310922009-04-25T23:39:00.000-07:002009-04-25T23:39:00.000-07:00Oh!
