Edna St. Vincent Millay Quote

Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand;
Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!


"Second Fig" from A Few Figs from Thistles (1920)


Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand; Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!

Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand; Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!

Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand; Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!

Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand; Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!
