Don’t say he loves me as before,
That, as before, he treasures me…
no! He callously destroys my life,
Although I see the knife shake in his hand.
In anger, weeping, yearning, indignation,
Obsessed and wounded in my soul,
I have no life – I struggle…for him alone I live –
But what a life!.. O, what a bitter life it is!
How stingily he measures out the air for me…
Less generous than to a mortal foe…
Oh, drawing breath is difficult and painful,
I can still breathe, but I can live no more.
(Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev)
