Words Of Note

April 8, 1999

Spring rides no horses down the hill,

But comes on foot, a goose-girl still.

And all the loveliest things there be

Come simply so, it seems to me.

Edna St. Vincent Millay,

American 20th-century poet

From 'The Goose Girl,' in

'The Harp-Weaver and Other Poems' (1923).
