While doing some war reading, I came across this stunning little note:

"In December, 1941, in siege-bound Leningrad, Druskin, ill and starving, along with Kharms’s second wife Maria Malich, trudged across the city to Kharms’s bombed-out apartment building to take charge of a trunk full of manuscripts."

Druskin & Malich's actions saved the #poetry of two others from utter eradication...

But what a staggeringly human act: to strive to save the best of what we create, even amid the worst of it.
