Edna St. Vincent Millay Quote

Many a bard's untimely death
Lends unto his verses breath;
Here's a song was never sung:
Growing old is dying young.


"To a Poet Who Died Young" in Second April (1921), p. 52


Many a bard's untimely death Lends unto his verses breath; Here's a song was never sung: Growing old is dying young.
