Need help with the analysis of two poems! First to analyze in depth, the better you answer?
First Fig My candle burns at both ends, It will not last all night, But ah, my foes, and oh my friends-It gives a lovely light I know this is about a good temporal thing, but I'm not sure what the candle is supposed to represent the second figure on the rock solid security of the ugly houses stand: Come see my shining palace built upon the sand! "Edna Both St. Vincent Millay poems are supposed to be somehow related to the novel The Great Gatsby. If you could find a connection really appreciate it. If not, I am still grateful for the analysis because they really do not understand.
First one: a lighted candle at both ends, gives twice as much light, but tough half as long, so "burning the candle at both ends" was (before electricity), a common expression to be extravagant, or in this case, to live dangerously. So she said: "Yes, I'm living recklessly, but much more deeply than if I was living with care." Namely as saying: "Live fast, love hard, die young - you forward a beautiful memory" (I disagree advice, by the way). The second simply means the solid, keeping things in life are often the exciting "pretty" things. They are often boring - even "ugly." By contrast, exciting (well) things are often temporary or illusory. For example, many young people have left the strong life of its people and their families to become famous in Hollywood. Then they find out that it was an illusion - his previous life was better, though less exciting.
