Sunday Morning Quotation

Somehow this opening stanza to Edna St. Vincent Millay's "A Few Figs from Thistles" seems especially pertinent following a visit to Las Vegas (having returned quite early this morning):

"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!"
