The hour for courage. If all else fails,
With courage we are not unfurnished.
What though the dead be crowded, each to each,

We will preserve you, Russian speech,
Keep you alive, great Russian word.
We will pass you to our sons and heirs
Free and clean, and they in turn to theirs,
Forever!
Anna Akhmatova
