She was loved by all who knew her well. The poet Edna St. Vincent Milay wrote: “The answers quick and keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love -they are gone. I know, but I do not approve. More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world; Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. I know, but I do not approve; and I am not resigned.”
