" I want you in ridiculous Russian,

I want you, dressed only in that little expression,
which you made so sparklingly literal,
and which is just soundsplash to you.

...

We are even: we made for each other

this language, without translation. "

― , A Life Replaced: Poems with Translations from Anna Akhmatova and Vladimir Gandelsman
