$Love Is Not All by Edna St. Vincent Millay (read by Tom OBedlam) Paintings by Edvard Munch, about 1900 Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain; Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink And rise and sink and rise and sink again; Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone; Yet many a man is making friends with death Even as I speak, for lack of love alone. It well may be that in a difficult hour, Pinned down by pain and moaning for release, Or nagged by want past resolutions power, I might be driven to sell your love for peace, Or trade the memory of this night for food. It well may be. I do not think I would.$
