Analysis of Here Pushkin’s Endless Exile Has Begun
Anna Akhmatova 1889 (Odessa) – 1966 (Moscow)
Here Pushkin's endless exile has begun,
And Lermontov's exile turned out fatal,
The mountain grass has a smell so sweet and gentle,
And only once I managed to discern,
By the lake under the dense shade of a chinara,
In the early evening and ferocious trice
The glare of insatiable dark eyes
Of the immortal lover of Tamara.
