== Edna St. Vincent Millay, daughter of a practical nurse, was praised for her intelligence, witty personality, and gifted musically and with literature. She was born in 1892 and grew up in a home with her mother and two sisters in Maine. Millay was named after a hospital that had nursed her uncle back to good health after he had been injured at sea. Millay composed music as well as wrote poems. By the time Millay was only 14 years old, she was already a published author, having her works in her high school magazine as well as in a national periodical aimed for young readers. Millay attended Barnard College In New York after high school and then Vassar College after that. Many of Millay's inspirations came from nature (Daffron P1-56). == media type="youtube" key="NawJavK7Lu8" height="315" width="420"
