Edna St. Vincent Millay Quote

"Let us forget such words,
and all they mean,
as Hatred, Bitterness and Rancor,
Greed, Intolerance, Bigotry.
Let us renew our faith
and pledge to Man,
his right to be Himself,
and free."

Pollyanna, how nice to meet you. NICE - adj. from Latin nescius, ignorant, from nescire, to be ignorant.  -- Terry Berg, Occidental, CA
She definitely inhales. And she forgot envy, ambition, and perversion.  -- David L. Rosenthal , Hollywood
How can you say "I am not an Athenian or a Greek, I am a citizen of the world" is such a great quote, but this peace and love quote is so bad?  -- Joe, Rochester, MI

What's wrong with this quote? It seems to have a good message.  -- Anonymous
The poet here in terms of individual free will choice (“Let us”) ranges an alternative. She impassions a giving up of hatred, bitterness, rancor, greed, intolerance, bigotry and Rosenthal’s envy and perversion. She suggests a noble renewal of faith and an assurance to humanity that individual sovereignty, inalienable rights, liberty and a perception of man’s dignity be held sacrosanct. I for one, absolutely second the sentiment.  -- Mike, Norwalk
