You will hear thunder and remember me, And think: she wanted storms. The rim of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson, And your heart, as it was… - Anna Akhmatova
" "You will hear thunder and remember me, And think: she wanted storms. The rim of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson, And your heart, as it was then, will be on fire. That day in Moscow, it will all come true, when, for the last time, I take my leave, And hasten to the heights that I have longed for, Leaving my shadow still to be with you.

Additional quotes by Anna Akhmatova
"You dreamt of me, I knew,
And hence I couldn't sleep.
The lantern flickered blue
And there my path ran steep.
[...]
"This is a lake," you thought.
"There is an island here..."
Just then, on the darkened road,
A little blue light appeared.
By wretched sunlight severed,
You stirred and moaned in pain,
And for the first time ever,
You called me by my name."
