TB is spending my internet time tonight checking the results from last week’s Thursday Pickin. We are in Camden, Maine, for a one night stopover in route to Portland for the rest of the week. As we walked through town and around the harbor I spotted a statue of the famous poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, a native of the Camden/Rockport area. I looked her up and found this gem I vaguely recall from a college lit course, and thought I’d pass it along as not only Quote of the Day, but the heart of today’s post.

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!

Camden Harbor

There was also this little gem on the community bulletin board, right on Main Street. I’m betting this lass is a fan of her hometown poet.
