     ♦ Первый "Пролог" - невозвратимая утрата, второй - дань самоуспокоенной старости в эпоху доброго цезаря, когда Ахматова искала внепространственных бед и страстей, хотя нам вполне хватало посюсторонних несчастий. Я ими сыта по горло (Мандельштам 2). The first Prologue is an irreparable loss, but the second is a self-indulgence of her [Akhmatova's] complacent old age, when she tried to invent torments and passions outside space - as though the ones on this side of the fence were not enough for us! I have had much more than my fill (2a).
