And rising from those other days, silent, / My own ghost confronts me.

I am harder than that...
Anna Akhmatova, tr. by D.M. Thomas, from “Petersburg Story,”
“It was many weeks before she lived fully in her own body again, and before her severe pains began to fade into occasional aches. Long after the case had vanished from the headlines, a nine days’ wonder, she was haunted by the face of a small boy, lying on a mattress in a room with eleven other people; by a shy, kind man in glasses, liked by his workmates and loved by children; and by a white swan nesting at a lake’s edge, lost in a sleep from which it would not awake.”
D.M. Thomas, The White Hotel
