My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--
It gives a lovely light!

Edna St. Vincent Millay, "First Fig" (1920)

Hey Lee! I checked out your blog the other day, and I think you and Brandon must be having a "Whoever updates his blog first is the loser." contest. I think you're unofficially winning. :P

Hi! Just wanted to see how your art was coming along. If you like St. Vincent Millay, I read a great biography on her while on bedrest. It's called 'Savage Beauty' by Nancy Milford. Really good read. It's always such an inspiration to read her words.

Jess,

I just might have to order that book- thanks so much for the recommendation! I honestly didn't know anything about her until doing some research just now, but seems to have lead a fascinating life.
