First Fig

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!

Edna St. Vincent Millay

Drawing based on Seated Nude by Edgar Degas 1895

Second Fig

Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand:

Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!

Edna St. Vincent Millay

Drawing based on photograph of Martha Graham by Imogen Cuningham 1931.
