I am cutting off the lilac fashioned For the brunches that have lost their bloom; Two black monks passed by in conversation On the ramparts to the aging doomed. //// greatly penned on the grateful to GOD; yeah THANK YOU O' GOD

Let, for blind me, the plain, dear and earthly World again be turned into alive. Our Lord has made my soul healthy With the icy calm of the non-love.........touching expression with lofty theme. Beautiful poem by Anna Akhmatova.

I tend to agree with the poet Glen Kappy. Translations can't do full justice to the original if simply translated in another language. However, to the credit of the translation, 'Icy calm of non love' is a great expression.

A wonderful, incisive meditation on lost love! I was particularly struck by the diction employed in the concluding line; ' the icy calm of the non-love'...simple yet so profound.

The great and famous Russian poet Anna Akhmatova has written a poem which, to me, sounds like love lost, whether through death or otherwise. But it sounds as though she has arrived at a place of contentment, with the calm of living without love. : -)

The feeling is clear enough in this poem, but it could do with a better translation it seems to me. -GK
