Additional quotes by Anna Akhmatova

Forgive me, that I manage badly,
Manage badly but live gloriously,
That I leave traces of myself in my songs,
That I appeared to you in waking dreams.

Why is this century worse than those others? Maybe, because, in sadness and alarm, It only touched the blackest of the ulcers, But couldn't heal it in its span of time.

Let whoever wants to, relax in the south,
And bask in the garden of paradise.
Here is the essence of northand it's autumn
I've chosen as this year's friend.

Don’t kiss me, I am weary - Death will kiss me. - Anna Akhmatova
