About	Another self-portrait. "As sharp as in my childhood, still Ecstasy shocks me fixed. The will Cannot entice it, never could, So never tries. But from the wood The wind will hurl the clashing sleet; Or a small fawn with lovely feet, Uncertain in its gait, will walk Among the ferns, not breaking back One frond, not bruising one fern black, Into the clearing, and appraise With mild, attracted, wondering gaze, And lifted head unhurt and new, This world that he was born into. Such marvels as, one time, I feared Might go, and leave me unprepared For hardship. But they never did. They blaze before me still, as wild and clear, as when I was a child. They never went away at all. I need not, though I do, recall Such moments in my childhood, when Wonder sprang out at me again, And took me by the heels, and whirled Me round and round above the world. For wonder leaps upon me still, And makes me dizzy, makes me ill, But never frightened--for I know-- Not where--but in whose hands I go: The lovely fingers of Delight Have hold of me and hold me tight." Edna St.Vincent Millay
