“Damn you! I will not grant your cursed soul
Vicarious tears or a single glance.”

Anna Akhmatova (1889–1966) Russian modernist poet

"You Thought I Was That Type"
Context: Damn you! I will not grant your cursed soul
Vicarious tears or a single glance.
And I swear to you by the garden of the angels,
I swear by the miracle-working icon,
And by the fire and smoke of our nights:
I will never come back to you.
