+Lloyd Mifflin+--poet.

Born at Columbia, Pennsylvania, 1846. Son of an artist. Educated at
Washington Classical Institute and by tutors. Studied art with his father
and in Germany and Italy. Began as a painter, but later turned to poetry.

written. These may be studied in his _Collected Sonnets_, 1905 (revised
edition, 1907), although several volumes have been published since then.

+Edna St. Vincent Millay+--poet, dramatist.

Born at Rockland, Maine, 1892. A.B., Vassar, 1917. Connected with the
Provincetown players both as dramatist and as actress.

Miss Millay's first poem, "Renascence," was published in _The Lyric
Year_, 1912.

SUGGESTIONS FOR READING

1. The poems need to be read aloud to give the full effect of their
passion and lyric beauty.

2. Compare Miss Millay's naivete with that of Blake. Do you find
suggestions of philosophy behind it or sheer emotion?

3. Does Miss Millay's later work show growth toward greatness or toward
sophisticated cleverness?
