I didn't laugh and didn't sing,
I kept silent all day,
And above all I wanted to be with you
From the very beginning:
The delicious delirium
Of the first lighthearted spat,
And the silent, stale, hasty
Last repast.
[Anna Akhmatova {1889-1966} ‘Farewell Song’ (1959) from The Complete Poems of Anna Akhmatova]
