But place does not know where You are.
In my subsistence is my annihilation;
In my annihilation, I remain You.”

“Where to begin?
The pain I am in,
hard to know when to stop.
Out of the blue
a dream came true,
only to see it drop.
I'm no genius where love's concerned,
more fool me to pretend.
Whatever it takes, while my heart aches
I'll never love again.”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

“Who will grieve for this woman? Does she not seem
too insignificant for our concern?
Yet in my heart I never will deny her,
who suffered death because she chose to turn.”

Anna Akhmatova (1889–1966) Russian modernist poet

Who'll mourn her as one of Lot's family members?
Doesn't she seem the smallest of losses to us?
But deep in my heart I will always remember
One who gave her life up for one single glance.
Translated by Tanya Karshtedt (1996)
A loss, but who still mourns the breath
of one woman, or laments one wife?
Though my heart never can forget,
how, for one look, she gave up her life.
Translated by A.S.Kline
Who would waste tears upon her? Is she not
The least of our losses, this unhappy wife?
Yet in my heart she will not be forgot
Who, for a single glance, gave up her life.
