Sex and Literature 10 years, 1 month agoEdmund Wilson, the famous critic, wrote about his threesome with Edna St. Vincent Millay. This came out in his biography. The thing I found most interesting in this particular article is how closely tied sex and writing were for Mr. Wilson. I’d tend to agree with him — the sexual urge and the writing urge are remarkably…[Read more]

Lol, hysterical… I had never seen that before. At some level the world probably would make more sense if that kind of thing happened more often!

Sex and Literature 10 years, 1 month agoJust finished First Fig by Edna St. Vincent Milay:
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!By at least one account, this poem was written about a threesome in which Milay was laid at both ends by a couple of male members. I\’m sure it was a lovely light . . .

Okay, so Mr. Orgy, I fancy myself a bit of a poet…after looking through a myriad of dissections on this poem, I’ve yet to encounter anyone who agrees with you. That isn’t to say you’re wrong–poetry is open to interpretation, of course. So I’m interested–can you take me, line by line, down the delicious path of your mind and tell me how you see…[Read more]

The timing of the poem corresponded with a well documented threesome between Ms. Millay, the future critic Edmund Wilson and John Pearle Bishop from Vanity Fair. One took the top and one took the bottom — Ms. Millay becomes the candle and the rest is history.

We’ll agree to disagree. It may very well be a reconstruction of the threesome, but even in metaphor, one can’t take things too literally, wouldn’t you agree? A bit “on the nose” for my taste.

Sex & Music 12 years, 12 months agoSunday, so I thought a little scripture would be appropriate: Revelations 22:20
He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

There is some foundation to your speculation, I can see that. However, we could take it a step further and say that the actual sex was a metaphor for something else entirely, and she was writing about that versus an obvious romp with two men. Couldn’t we? Don’t you find that sex can represent so many different things, Mr. Orgy…
Well, I’m glad that I could at least add some sexual imagery to the poem. I can agree that the poem was a metaphor for something else entirely and your point is well taken.
Thank you for taking it “well.” I’m glad you pointed out its sexual origins, because, well, that’s hot. As an artist, I’ve had a lot of instances in which I write about an event using metaphor, but the purpose of writing about the event was not to chronicle the event itself, but to expound on the universal possibilities and connection within the…[Read more]
I don’t necessarily see the poem as sexual, although I can see that layer, and adding that layer added a lot of depth to the poem for me, in particular because of the Puritanistic thought that sexual forays will burn you out. I love the way Millay perverts the light on the hill metaphor from the new testament — it is wonderfully subversive to me.
