Additional quotes by Anna Akhmatova

I go forth to seek — To seek and claim the lovely magic garden Where grasses softly sigh and Muses speak.

First as a serpent, it’ll cast its spell Next to your heart, curled up. Then it’ll come as a dove as well, Cooing for days nonstop.

A fairy tale from the terrible past,
My double goes to the interrogation,
And then comes from the interrogation,

I hear always the sad voices of summer passing like red winged birds over the high grass - Anna Akhmatova
