Anna Akhmatova Quotes

A loss, but who still mourns the breath of one woman, or laments one wife? Though my heart never can forget, how, for one look, she gave up her life Picture Quote #1

Now everything is clear. I admit my defeat. The tongue of my ravings in my ear is the tongue of a stranger Picture Quote #1

Courage: Great Russian word, fit for the songs of our children's children, pure on their tongues, and free Picture Quote #1

The word dropped like a stone on my still living breast. Confess: I was prepared, am somehow ready for the test Picture Quote #1

At dawn they came and took you away. You were my dead: I walked behind. In the dark room children cried, the holy candle gasped for air Picture Quote #1

Such grief might make the mountain stoop, reverse the waters where they flow, but cannot burst these ponderous bolts that block us from the prison cells crowded with mortal woe Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We aged a hundred years, and this happened in a single hour: The short summer had already died, the body of the ploughed plains smoked Picture Quote #1

I do not need your loving words or hurried kiss as night comes down in the place where we once lived innocent as children, and happier Picture Quote #1

I hear always the sad voices of summer passing like red winged birds over the high grass Picture Quote #1

Now you’re gone, and nobody says a word about your troubled and exalted life. Only my voice, like a flute, will mourn at your dumb funeral feast Picture Quote #1

The sand as white as old bones, the pine trees strangely red where the sun comes down. I cannot say if it is our love, or the day, that is ending Picture Quote #1

I am not one of those who left the land to the mercy of its enemies. Their flattery leaves me cold, my songs are not for them to praise Picture Quote #1

The whole time I was hoping my silence would fit yours and exclamation marks would gently float across time and space so that boundaries would be crossed; the whole time I was praying you would read my eyes and understand what I was never able to understand. See, we were never about butterflies. We’ve always been about burning stars. All about us is unearthly and radiant Picture Quote #1

This cruel age has deflected me, like a river from this course. Strayed from its familiar shores, my changeling life has flowed into a sister channel. How many spectacles I’ve missed: the curtain rising without me, and falling too. How many friends I never had the chance to meet Picture Quote #1

... he is rewarded with a form of eternal childhood, with the bounty and vigilance of the stars, the whole world was his inheritance and he shared it with everyone Picture Quote #1
