Love is flesh and blood.... Tsvetaeva M.

“Along with Anna Akhmatova, Marina Tsvetaeva occupies... a primary place among the Russian poets. Its peculiar verse, complete inner freedom, lyrical power, genuine sincerity and real femininity of moods are qualities that never change it, ”Konstantin Balmont wrote in 1921, outlining the main features of Tsvetaevsky poetry. “Femininity of moods” is connected by Tsvetaeva with an amazing ability to recklessly surrender to the one who experiences the “mortal need” in it. At the same time, its lyrical heroine never leaves awareness of the tragic discord in the world, the poet’s inevitable conflict with the realities of life, in which it is difficult to find the “path of the soul to the soul”, where “stopudo life” faces “being”, “vain” - with “eternal ".

The collection includes poems of different years and poems, including the greatest masterpieces of Russian love poetry of the twentieth century: “Poem of the Mountain” and “Poem of the End”.
