Feast Poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay

The eager search, the insatiable longing. Desire, restlessness. These are more important than the mundane.

Have to agree. So much said in such a short write. Nice.

wooowww...! itz really an awesome poetry though it carry small stanzas of just 3..! The stanzas tell us briefly but forcefully about hunger and thirst of poor Americans at the beginning of twentieth century. The poet doesn't say that she is hungry and thirst. She tells it in an indirect way making it most interesting. The same idea was told long ago in England by William Blake directly in this way: Is this a holy thing to see In a rich and fruitful land Babies reduced to misery Fed with cold and usurous hand.
