“From such absurdity
I shall soon turn gray
or change into another person.
Why do you beckon me with your hand?”

Anna Akhmatova (1889–1966) Russian modernist poet

Poem without a Hero (1963)
Context: This means that gravestones are fragile
and granite is softer than wax.
Absurd, absurd, absurd! From such absurdity
I shall soon turn gray
or change into another person.
Why do you beckon me with your hand?
For one moment of peace
I would give the peace of the tomb.
