“Love is not all” is excellently written by Edna St. Vincent Millay. She is very much focused on the title of this poem. She is suggesting readers to fall in love but only after considering few facts. She wants everybody to assume reality while loving someone
The poem “Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink” is a verse with a customary arrangement of sestet and octave in its total fourteen lines. This poem is short but much effective. Its center is a delicate note speaking to the issue of the deepness, significance, and momentary life of love. All these features are explained one by one. The poem lover can presuppose that the poet tells each word straight to him or her with reference to a note that is equally sensitively and mentally “suffered”, as customarily spoken in a verse.
