Dreams Quote by Anna Akhmatova

“In Dream Black and enduring separation I share equally with you. Why weep? Gove me your hand, promise me you will come again. You and I are like high mountains and we can't move closer. Just send me word at midnight sometime through the stars. 1946” quote by Anna Akhmatova
