“18 May, Thursday. Peredelkino.

<...>  
He rose, saying something about the time. I got up too. We embraced. I kissed him on his prickly, unshaven cheek.

“God keep you,” he said (I should be the one saying it to him!).

We went quickly into the hall, and I opened the door for him.

“So there goes the boy,” he said, stepping over the threshold.

“Everything is still there,” I said.”

From Lydia Chukovskaya’s notes on Brodsky. It seems they never met again
