In 1998, during one of his trips to Krasnoyarsk, Paul met Anna Gitsjik, a soprano soloist working for the State Opera. He dedicated this song, based on a poem from "The Passionate Pilgrim" by Shakespeare, as an everlasting remembrance to a soprano with whom Paul performed the opera "Le Nozze di Figaro" in the Opera House of Krasnoyarsk. Since that time he has lost contact with her.
