Maybe someone knows that but in the meantime.

How odd. I included Ragged Island on my Millay page on my site ... but because of the way the poem appears in the book I own, I thought the poem ended with the following line:

There, thought unbraids itself, and the mind becomes single.

Now that I see the entire work, I actually feel disappointed. Everything after the above line seems like so much "telly" filler. Of course, I'd grown quite used to the truncated version, and loved it.
