"First Fig" (1920) by Edna St. Vincent Millay
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!

"So, Leta, is it difficult to live your life so that whenever you need to illustrate a point, you have an anecdote from your personal experience?" No, not really.
About Me
Theater Projects
"On a break" is community theater for "spend more time with my family" which is politics for "unemployed." (Leta)
"If you want to help the American theater, don't be a performer -- be an audience." (Tallulah Bankhead)

Amen, Sister. Amen.
Funny, I've had that memorized for years (well, mostly; I had the "friends" and "foes" reversed) and never knew the title.
I think my candle's gonna be completely gone by April...
