Quote
This morning is drunk with spring sun, And on the terrace the smell of roses is louder...

"Why is our century worse than any other?"
by Anna Akhmatova
Why is our century worse than any other? Is it that in the stupor of fear and grief It has plunged its fingers in the blackest ulcer, Yet cannot bring relief?
Westward the sun is dropping, And the roofs of towns are shining in its light. Already death is chalking doors with crosses And calling the ravens and the ravens are in flight.

"I am in the middle of it: chaos and poetry; poetry and love and again, complete chaos. Pain, disorder, occasional clarity; and at the bottom of it all: only love; poetry. Sheer enchantment, fear, humiliation. It all comes with love."
― Anna Akhmatova, The Akhmatova Journals, Volume I: 1938-1941
