A Few Figs From Thistles

Poems and Sonnets

(1920)

This collection of Millay's poetry initially drew controversy for its novel exploration of female sexuality and feminism.

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!--"First Fig"
