What are the most demanding bits of writing you have and took the extra mile to understand?
For me it was the poetry of Anna Ahmatova. She alludes to Klyuyev, Gumiliov, Nerval, Vergilius, her husband Osip Mandelshtam, Cosmas of Maiuma, the bible and anecdotes mentioned by Pliny the Elder and altogether it would only submit to you if you knew a lot about what was going in Russia of the Stalin era; if you were acquainted to the "Journey into the Whirlwind" or "Hope against Hope".
