Some things are dark
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892 to 1950
Some things are dark—or think they are.
But, in comparison to me,
All things are light enough to see
In any place, at any hour.
For I am Nightmare: where I fly,
Terror and rain stand in the sky
So thick, you could not tell them from
That blackness out of which you come.
So much for 'where I fly”: but when
I strike, and clutch in claw the brain—
Erebus, to such brain, will seem
The thin blue dusk of pleasant dream.
Edna St. Vincent Millay's Some things are dark
I am busy working to bring Edna St. Vincent Millay's "Some things are dark" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Edna St. Vincent Millay's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Some things are dark" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
