Omschrijving

A Few Figs From Thistles is a collection of poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay, first published in 1920. The title of the book is derived from a line in a Shakespearean sonnet, and the poems within the book explore themes of love, sexuality, and the role of women in society. Millay's writing is characterized by its frankness and sensuality, and her poems often challenge traditional gender roles and societal norms. The collection includes some of Millay's most famous works, such as ""First Fig"" (""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!"") and ""Second Fig"" (""Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand: / Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!""). A Few Figs From Thistles is a landmark work of modernist poetry and a testament to Millay's talent as a writer.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1922 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
