She has something of the same gift of swift verse, of evanescent beauty, light and shade caught at the moment of one passing into the other. For quick little snatches of poetry, reminding one somewhat of Emily Dickinson In her nature poems, Miss Kathleen Millay attains wonderfully pleasing results, delighting her reader with a breath of song as momentary as that of the hermit thrush of which she, sings.” Besides her husband and her sister, Edna, Miss Millay leaves another sister, Mrs. Charles Ellis. (New York Times, Sept. 23, 1943).
