"Could Biche create like Dante,
or Laura glorify the fire of love?
I taught women to speak...
But, God, how to silence them!"

The second collection of Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) "Rosary" was published in May 1914, before the start of the First World War. From the moment it appeared in 1914 until 1923, the Rosary was reprinted 9 times - a rare success for a young poet.
The collection continued the line "Evenings": great inner concentration, tension of the psychological pattern, laconicism, accuracy of observations, rejection of the melodiousness of the verse, adherence to colloquial speech, muted colors, restrained tones. The very name "Rosary" indicates the "search" of mental states, acquiring completeness and tension of prayer. In many poems - a generalization of personal experiences. Feeling was embodied in the phenomena of the external world; details, details became evidence of emotional experiences. Reprint edition About all this and not only in the book of the Rosary.
