Love Is Not All: It Is Not Meat nor Drink is a 1931 poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay, written during the Great Depression. The poem was included in her collection Fatal Interview, a sequence of 52 sonnets, appearing alongside other sonnets such as "I dreamed I moved among the Elysian fields," and "Love me no more, now let the god depart," rejoicing in romantic language and vulnerability. These sonnets depict the love affair from a woman's perspective which chronicles her first attraction, consummation, and sorrow at breaking up. Many of the poems make generous use of imagery in Renaissance love sonnets, and uses a medieval setting in some to complement these references.

  • Love Is Not All: It Is Not Meat nor Drink is a 1931 poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay, written during the Great Depression. The poem was included in her collection Fatal Interview, a sequence of 52 sonnets, appearing alongside other sonnets such as "I dreamed I moved among the Elysian fields," and "Love me no more, now let the god depart," rejoicing in romantic language and vulnerability. These sonnets depict the love affair from a woman's perspective which chronicles her first attraction, consummation, and sorrow at breaking up. Many of the poems make generous use of imagery in Renaissance love sonnets, and uses a medieval setting in some to complement these references. The rhyme scheme in Love Is Not All follows that of a Shakespearean sonnet, however, the division of lines indicate a Petrarchan sonnet. It strays away from the extravagant prose of her other poems and instead adopts a more simplistic word choice. The poem begins with an octave where the speaker states that love does not possess the power to heal or save things, and concludes with a sestet of the speaker saying that even though she may face hardships, she would not trade love for food or peace. This poem is often lauded as one of her most successful works in the Fatal Interview sequence. (en)
