Love Is Not All by Edna St. Vincent Millay 1 Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink 2 Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain; 3 Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink 4 And rise and sink and rise and sink again; 5 Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, 6 Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone; 7 Yet many a man is making friends with death 8 Even as I speak, for lack of love alone. 9 It well may be that in a difficult hour, 10 Pinned down by pain and moaning for release, 11 Or nagged by want past resolution's power, 12 I might be driven to sell your love for peace, 13 Or trade the memory of this night for food. 14 It well may be. I do not think I would. PARAPHRASE : What is the poem about? Use the questions below to guide your thinking.
