1885: He Did Love | Anna Akhmatova

[exceptindreams]

"Он любил... "
Анна Ахматова

Он любил три вещи на свете:
За вечерней пенье, белых павлинов
И стертые карты Америки.
Не любил, когда плачут дети,
Не любил чая с малиной
И женской истерики
...А я была его женой.

Translated from the Russian"He Did Love

This made me smile with a sharp zing in my heart at the same time.

Yes, that sums up my reaction too! I love the use of specific details in it.

I meant to reply long ago. Yay for fellow poetry lovers and kindred. :)

Yay indeed! I always like seeing comments from people who felt the same way I did about a poem ^^
