Anna Akhmatova. Translated by Judith Hemschemeyer. 
 
Zephyr Press: 1990. Hardcovers in jackets. First edition. Very good. A couple of stains and smudges on edges of Volume One's text block and a scratch on the jacket cover of Volume Two. 
 
"I don't like flowers - they remind me 
Of funerals, weddings and balls,

That was always my joy in chidhood, 
Remains, even now, my only inheritance, 
Like the sounds of Mozart ..."
