英语词汇edna st vincent millay的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Edna St. Vincent Millay. Here is a great poet who took her name from a hospital, in part. Edna St. Vincent Millay (1872– 1950) was named after New York’s St. Vincent’s Hospital by her mother, who was grateful to the hospital for saving her broth- er’s life. Mrs. Millay’s brother, Charles Buzzell, had been trapped in a cargo ship’s hold without food and water for nine days on a voyage from New Orleans to New York. Doctors at St. Vincent’s said he couldn’t live but pulled him through, and when her daughter was born, Mrs. Millay named Edna after the famous hospital, or after the saint for whom the hospital was named. The story was confirmed recently in a letter to the New York Times by Edna St. Vincent Millay’s daughter, who observed, “Had it been Doctor’s Hospital or Lenox Hill she [her grand- mother] would have reconsidered—they wouldn’t scan.”
