→Pablo Picasso (1881–1973): Edna St. Vincent Millay
* I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
* I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
==Edna St. Vincent Millay (February 22, 1892 – October 19, 1950)==
Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare.<br>
Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace,<br>
And lay them prone upon the earth and cease<br>
To ponder on themselves, the while they stare<br>
At nothing, intricately drawn nowhere<br>
In shapes of shifting lineage; let geese<br>
Gabble and hiss, but heroes seek release<br>
From dusty bondage into luminous air.<br>
O blinding hour, O holy, terrible day,<br>
When first the shaft into his vision shone<br>
Of light anatomized! Euclid alone<br>
Has looked on Beauty bare. Fortunate they<br>
Who, though once only and then but far away,<br>
Have heard her massive sandal set on stone.
Sonnet XXII from ''The Harp-Weaver and Other Poems'' (1923)
