“I have visions of hilly Pavlovsk,
Meadow circular, water dead,
With most heavy and most shady,
All of this I will never forget.

Wanders wind, for its loneliness glad.

On the molten snow stand.

Dear voice sounds like song without word,
And on copper shoulder of Cytharus
Sits the red-chested bird.”
― Anna Akhmatova
