Anna Akhmatova Quote

The grave I go to will not be my own.
But if I could step outside myself
and contemplate the person that I am,
I should know at last what envy is.


"This Cruel Age has deflected me..." (1944)


The grave I go to will not be my own. But if I could step outside myself and contemplate the person that I am, I should know at last what envy is.
