Portrait of the Russian poet Anna Akhmatova by Nathan Altman, 1914
Antonella-, Italy
Antonella- said:

"We thought we were beggars, we thought we had nothing at all
But then when we started to lose one thing after another,
Each day became
A memorial day --
And then we made songs
Of great divine generosity
And of our former riches."

Anna Akhmatova

from her collection of poems "White flock", 1917
