    Like someone deaf, blind and mute,
    For whom, the only thing left
    Is the sense of smell, I breathe in
    Dampness, mold, inclement weather
    And fleeting, transient smoke…

    ***

    Как слепоглухонемая,
    Которой остались на свете
    Лишь запахи, я вдыхаю
    Сырость, прелость, ненастье
    И мимолетный дымок...

    Anna Akhmatova, 1959
