Anna Akhmatova - This land, although not my native land, Will be remembered...

This land, although not my native land, Will be remembered forever. And the sea's lightly iced, Unsalty water. The sand on the bottom is whiter than chalk, The air is heady, like wine, And the rosy body of the pinesIs naked in the sunset hour. And the sunset itself on such waves of etherThat I just can't comprehendWhether it is the end of the day, the end of the world, Or the mystery of mysteries in me again.

And the sunset itself on such waves of etherThat I just can't comprehendWhether it is the end of the day, the end of the world, Or the mystery of mysteries in me again. Anna Akhmatova
