"My soul and yours are the same,
You appear in me, I in you,
We hide in each other."

"To feel harshly tender,
To be equal to a winter day,
To reduce myself to nothing,
that I might call into being
not my shadow, but light,
direct, not blocked by me."
- Bella Akhmadulina, tr. by Barbara Einzig, from “Goodbye,”
