II Essay #1‚ Winter 2013 Edna St. Vincent Millay‚ “Love is Not All” Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain; Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink And rise and sink and rise and sink again; 5 Love can not fill thickened lung with breath‚ Nor clean the blood‚ nor set the fractured bone; Yet many a man is making friends with death Even as I speak‚ for lack of love alone It well may be that in a difficult hour‚ 10

Platonic Love In the Symposium‚ which is normally dated at the beginning of the middle period‚ Plato introduces his theory of love.
