Edna St. Vincent Millay Sonnet XXX: “Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain... Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone; Yet many a man is making friends with death Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.”
