the sun is new in my body

It’s true I always hated it 
When people pitied me. 
But you felt pity, stated it – 
The sun is new in my body 
That is why dawn is everywhere. 
I can do miracles here and there, 
That’s why! 
 
[Anna Akhmatova {1889-1960}, 3 from 'Cinque', in Poems, translated by Lyn Coffin]
