Just desserts for a way too busy for her own good girl

From Figs from Thistles:

First Fig:

MY candle burns at both ends;
  It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends–
  It gives a lovely light!

Second Fig:

SAFE upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand:
  Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!

-Edna St Vincent Millay
