This girl is charged with all the femininity in the world. If you go near her or touch her with your finger, a spark will light up the room and either kill you on the spot or electrify you for your whole life. If it’s so painful for a man to love and absorb electricity, how much more painful it must be to be a woman and to be the electricity, and to inspire love.

Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago (1957)

February. Take ink and weep, write February as you're sobbing, while black Spring burns deep through the slush and throbbing.

Boris Pasternak, 'February. Take ink and weep'

Where is she now, today?

Is she happier and freer than I, or more enslaved and more dead?

I fear death only because it is I who will die, without having had the chance to be everyone else.
