Beauty is frightening," they will tell you -
Lazily you will arrange
A Spanish shawl on your shoulders,
A red rose in your hair.
"Beauty is simple," they will tell you -
Clumsily with a motley shawl
You will cover a child up,
A red rose on the floor.

You will say about yourself:
'I am neither frightening nor simple;
I am not so frightening, that I would simply
Kill; I am not so simple
That I do not know how frightening life is.'
("For Anna Akhmatova") — Alexander Blok
