- She's- She's in the riverbed, in algae <br />And weeds...She went to them <br />To sleep, - but there's no sleep there, either! <br />- But she's the one I loved <br />Like forty thousand brothers <br />Couldn't love! <br />- Hamlet! <br />She's in the riverbed, in algae: <br />Algae! . . And her last garland <br />Has surfaced in the logs by the bank... <br />- But she's the one I loved <br />Like forty thousand... <br />- Less, <br />Even so, than a single lover. <br />She's in the riverbed, in algae. <br />- But she's the one - <br /> <br />I loved??<br /><br />Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dialogue-between-hamlet-and-his-conscience/
