Every house is foreign to me, every temple is empty to me,

And everything is equal, and everything is one.

But if there is a bush along the way

Especially the mountain ash stands up...

M. Tsvetaeva.

The poet has no homeland; the poet belongs first of all to the world. But every Russian poet belongs first of all to Russia. Always. The feeling of patriotism in Russian poets has been brought to some critical point. This is a cup that cannot be filled so that the water overflows. It's not enough for poets. M. Tsvetaeva is a Russian poet, in addition, she is an eyewitness to all the turning points of her time. Her lyrics are a chronicle. A chronicle of love experiences and a chronicle of Russia, the Motherland, and the twentieth century.

Sometimes Tsvetaeva does not know how to react to a particular event, to praise or curse it. The pangs of creativity give birth to masterpieces. She takes the events of which she was a contemporary back to the depths of centuries and analyzes them there. That's why "Stenka Razin"

Tsvetaeva loves Russia, she would not exchange it for Foggy Albion, or for the “big and joyful” Paris, which took 14 years of her life:

I'm alone here. To the chestnut trunk

To cling to your head so sweetly:

And Rostand’s verse cries in my heart,

How is it there, in abandoned Moscow?

The feminine principle is everywhere in Tsvetaeva’s work. Her Russia is a woman. Strong, proud, and... always a victim. The theme of death permeates all feelings, and when it comes to Russia, it is heard especially loudly:

You! I’ll lose this hand, -

At least two! I'll sign with my lips

On the chopping block: the strife of my lands -

Pride, my homeland!

"Motherland", 1932

But these are “late” feelings. There is also childhood on the Oka River, in Tarusa, sweet memories and a desire to return there again and again, to remember, to take with you the Russia of the past century:

Give us back our childhood, give it back

All multi-colored beads, -

Small, peaceful Tarusa

Summer days.

In her autobiography, Tsvetaeva writes that she returned to Moscow in 1939 from emigration to give her son, George, a homeland. But, perhaps, in order to return this homeland to herself?.. But that old Moscow, about which she selflessly writes in 1911, no longer exists, the “glory of languid great-grandmothers // Houses of old Moscow” perished. Outside terrible era Stalin with boarded up doors and quiet whispers of gossip. Tsvetaeva is suffocating, again irresistibly drawn to childhood, she wants to run away and hide from all the “dirt” pouring from above. But she is also amazed at the strength of her people, who have withstood the difficult trials of incessant coups and continue to bear the unbearable burden of dictatorship. She is subdued by him, she is proud, she knows that she is also part of this people:

The people are the same as the poet -

Herald of all latitudes, -

As the poet, with his mouth open,

It's worth it - such people!

"The People", 1939

The tragedy of the White Guard is also its tragedy. Did she know, when in 1902, in Genoa, she wrote revolutionary poems, which were even published in Geneva, with what the horror of revolution and civil war? Most likely not... That’s why there is such grief later, grief and repentance:

Yes! The Don block has broken!

White Guard- Yes! - died.

"Don", 1918

Everything perishes in Tsvetaeva’s poems, and she herself perishes.

The theme of the Motherland is, first of all, the theme of the entire Russian people, Russian history, it is the theme of Derzhavin, I. the Terrible, Blok. Tsvetaeva’s work is all one. She herself is part of this Motherland, its singer and its creator. She cannot live in Russia and cannot live away from it. Her whole fate and creativity is a paradox. But the paradox is far from meaningless! Tsvetaeva is like a mirror - she reflects everything, without distortion, she accepts everything, she simply cannot live with it, with this inescapable feeling of homeland. And all of it, this feeling, is in her poems:

Suffer me! I'm everywhere:

I am dawn and ore, bread and sigh,

I am and I will be and I will get

Lips - how God gets the soul.

"Wires", 1923

Sometimes it seems that she is challenging...

To whom and what does the poet dedicate his creations? To a lover or lover, friends, parents, childhood and youth, events from the past, teachers, the universe... And it is difficult to find a poet who would completely bypass the Motherland in his work. Love and hatred for her, experiences, thoughts, observations are reflected in poems. The theme of the Motherland is also developed in Let's look at its originality in the poems of the poetess Silver Age.

Leitmotif

Marina Tsvetaeva, who spent a considerable part of her life in exile, is rightfully considered a Russian poetess. And this is not without reason. Many researchers confirm that the work of this witness to terrible fractures Russian history- a chronicle of not only love, but also the Motherland of the early 20th century.

We can absolutely say that Marina Tsvetaeva loves Russia. She passes through all the disturbing, ambiguous events, analyzes them in her work, and tries to develop a clear attitude towards them. Including delving into ancient history (“Stenka Razin”).

The theme of the White Guard is also alive in her work. Marina Ivanovna did not accept the revolution; she was horrified by the Civil War.

Russia

Discussing the theme of the Motherland in Tsvetaeva’s work, we note that her works have a strong feminine element. For her, Russia is a woman, proud and strong. But always a victim. Tsvetaeva herself, even in emigration, always considered herself part of a great country and was its singer.

Biographers admire the independence, strong and proud spirit of Marina Tsvetaeva. And her perseverance and courage were drawn precisely from her ardent and enduring love for the Fatherland. Therefore, the theme of the Motherland in Tsvetaeva’s poetry is rightfully considered one of the leading ones.

It's amazing how emotional strong works about the poetess's Motherland! Nostalgic, tragic, hopeless and painfully sad. But, for example, “Poems about the Czech Republic” is her declaration of love for Russia and its people.

Childhood

The brightest, most joyful notes in Tsvetaeva’s poems about the Motherland appear when she writes about her childhood spent in Tarusa-on-Oka. The poetess returns there with tender sadness in her work - to Russia last century, which can no longer be returned.

Here Tsvetaeva's Russia is boundless open spaces, amazing natural beauty, a sense of security, freedom, flight. Holy land with courageous and strong people.

Emigration

It must be said that the reason for Tsvetaeva’s emigration was not her ideological considerations. Circumstances prompted her departure - she followed her husband, a white officer. From the biography of the poetess it is known that she lived in Paris for 14 years. But the sparkling city of dreams did not captivate her heart - and in emigration the theme of the Motherland is alive in Tsvetaeva’s work: “I am alone here... And Rostand’s poem cries in my heart, as it is there, in abandoned Moscow.”

At the age of 17 she wrote her first poem about Paris. Bright and joyful, he seemed sad, big and depraved to her. "In big and joyful Paris, I dream of grass, clouds..."

Keeping the image of her dear Motherland in her heart, she always secretly hoped for a return. Tsvetaeva never harbored a grudge against Russia, where her work, a truly Russian poetess, was not accepted and unknown. If we analyze all her works in exile, we will see that the Fatherland is Tsvetaeva’s fatal and inevitable pain, but one with which she has come to terms.

Return. Moscow

In 1939, Tsvetaeva returned to Stalinist Moscow. As she herself writes, she was driven by the desire to give her son a homeland. It must be said that from birth she tried to instill in Georgy a love for Russia, to convey to him a piece of this strong, bright feeling of hers. Marina Ivanovna was sure that a Russian person could not be happy away from his Motherland, so she wanted her son to love and accept such an ambiguous Fatherland. But is she happy to be back?

The theme of the Motherland in Tsvetaeva’s works of this period is the most acute. Returning to Moscow, she did not return to Russia. It’s a strange Stalinist era with denunciations, boarded up shutters, general fear and suspicion. It’s hard and stuffy for Marina Tsvetaeva in Moscow. In her creativity, she strives to escape from here into the bright past. But at the same time, the poetess extols the spirit of her people, who went through terrible trials and did not break. And she feels like a part of him.

Tsvetaeva loves the capital of the past: “Moscow! How huge hospice"Here she sees the city as the heart of a great power, a repository of its spiritual values. She believes that Moscow will spiritually cleanse any wanderer and sinner. “Where I will be happy even dead,” says Tsvetaeva about the capital. Moscow evokes sacred awe in her heart, For the poetess, this is an eternally young city, which she loves like a sister, a faithful friend.

But we can say that it was the return to Moscow that ruined Marina Tsvetaeva. She could not accept reality, disappointments plunged her into severe depression. And then - deep loneliness, misunderstanding. Having lived in her homeland for two years after her long-awaited return, she voluntarily passed away. “I couldn’t bear it,” as the poetess herself wrote in her suicide note.

Poems by Tsvetaeva about the Motherland

Let's see which of her glorious works M. Tsvetaeva dedicated to Russia:

• "Motherland".
• "Stenka Razin"
• "People".
• "Wires."
• "Homesickness".
• "A country".
• "Swan Camp"
• "Don".
• "Poems about the Czech Republic."
• Cycle "Poems about Moscow" and so on.

Analysis of the poem

Let's take a look at the development of the theme of Russia in one of Marina Tsvetaeva's significant poems, "Longing for the Motherland." After reading the work, we immediately determine that these are the thoughts of a person who finds himself far from his beloved country. And indeed, the poem was written by Marina Ivanovna in exile.

The lyrical heroine of the work copies the poetess herself with amazing accuracy. She tries to convince herself that when a person feels bad, it makes no difference where he lives. An unhappy person will not find happiness anywhere.

Re-reading the poem again, we will notice Hamlet's question in the paraphrase “To be or not to be?” Tsvetaeva has her own interpretation of it. When a person lives, there is a difference where he is, but when he exists, suffering, there is no difference.

"...it doesn't matter at all -

Where all alone

She bitterly claims that all the feelings in her soul have burned out, all that remains is to humbly carry her cross. After all, wherever a person is far from his homeland, he will find himself in a cold and endless desert. Scary key phrases: “I don’t care”, “I don’t care”.

The heroine tries to convince herself that she is indifferent to the place where her soul was born. But at the same time she says that she real home- barracks. Tsvetaeva also touches on the theme of loneliness: she cannot find herself either among people or in the lap of nature.

At the conclusion of her story, she bitterly asserts that she has nothing left. In emigration everything is alien to her. But still:

"...if there is a bush along the way

It gets up, especially the mountain ash..."

The poem ends at an ellipsis. After all, the most severe longing for the Fatherland cannot be fully expressed.

The theme of the Motherland in Tsvetaeva’s work is tragic. She is suffocating away from her, but it is also hard in contemporary Russia. Light sadness and touching notes can be traced in her poems only when the poetess remembers her childhood, about past Russia, Moscow, which can no longer be returned.

Analysis of the development of the theme of the Motherland in Tsvetaeva’s poems.

The fate of the remarkable Russian poetess Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva was not simple, even tragic. Independent, proud, never imitating anyone, either in life or in poetry, she went through a path of hardships that would have been more than enough for many ordinary lives. Where the other is more weak person, would have been broken and crushed long ago, Marina Tsvetaeva survived without sacrificing even a little of her personality or talent.

She found courage and perseverance in her creativity and in her ardent, enduring love for her Motherland. That is why the theme of the Motherland is leading in the work of Marina Tsvetaeva.

At the age of 17, while in Paris, Marina Tsvetaeva writes the poem “In Paris”. It would seem that the young poetess should have been charmed and amazed by the bright, cheerful Paris. But no: “In big and depraved Paris there is still the same secret melancholy...” and loneliness: “I’m alone here.” And young Tsvetaeva dreams of Russia:

In big and joyful Paris
I dream of grass, clouds...

Tsvetaeva's theme of the Motherland receives further development in poems dedicated to Moscow. One of them starts like this

Moscow! How huge
Hospice!

Here Tsvetaeva represents Moscow as the heart of Russia, the center of its spiritual values. The Russian man is a wanderer and a sinner, striving for spiritual purification, which is associated with faith (Iveron Icon, healer Panteleimon), with Moscow:

And hallelujah flows
To the dark fields.
- I kiss your chest,
Moscow land!

Poems written far from the Motherland, in exile, are filled with completely new intonations, tragic and hopeless. Here is a poem from 1925:

I bow to Russian rye,
The field where the woman lies...
Friend! It's raining outside my window
Troubles and joys in the heart...
You are in the midst of rain and troubles -
The same as Homer in hexameter.
Give me your hand - to the whole world!
Here are mine - both are busy.

The verse is built on antithesis. Tsvetaeva in Czechoslovakia, overwhelmed by nostalgia, “with troubles in her heart and rains,” and a friend in Russia, who also has rains and troubles, but who is calm and happy like “Homer in a hexameter,” because he is at home, in his homeland.

Seven years pass and Tsvetaeva writes a poem in which amazing power expresses the idea that for her a return to Russia, an alliance with her Motherland, is impossible. The Russia that was close to Tsvetaeva no longer exists, and “now the country” will not accept the poetess:

The Motherland will not call us!

But still, in spite of everything, love for Russia overcomes the tragedy of the break in Tsvetaeva’s soul, and she exclaims:

Go, my son, home - forward -
To your own land, in your own age, at your own hour - from us
To Russia - you, to Russia - the masses,
In our time - a country! at this moment - a country!

The poem from 1934 seems even more tragic to me. The thought expressed in the first stanza seems blasphemous:

Homesickness! For a long time
A hassle exposed!
I don't care at all -
Where all alone
Be,...

Homesickness is a ghost, a whim. Tsvetaeva consistently develops this thought throughout the entire poem: she doesn’t care where and how to live, with whom and in what language to speak, she has no memories:

Every house is foreign to me, every temple is empty to me,
And everything is equal, and everything is one.
But if there is a bush along the way
Especially the mountain ash stands up...

But the last two lines literally explode this logic of indifference. In fact, Tsvetaeva’s indifference and falsehood is a weak attempt to somehow muffle the pain and longing for the Motherland. The incompleteness of the thought about the rowan bush, as if torn off by unexpectedly surging feelings, emphasizes the depth and strength of love for Russia.

In the cycle “Poems for the Czech Republic,” the poetess creates her strongest, most expressive poems, in which she directly declared her love for the Motherland and the people:

You won't die, people!
God bless you!
I gave with my heart - pomegranate,
The chest gave - granite.
Prosper, people,
Solid as a tablet
Hot like a pomegranate
Clear as crystal.

Tsvetaeva’s work became an outstanding and original phenomenon of both the culture of the Silver Age and all literature in general. Her poems, filled with deep feeling, sink into the soul. Their unusual rhythm philosophical meaning make you think about the essence of life. Tsvetaeva is one of the few poets who saw the whole tragedy of Russia and sought not to renounce it, but to help the Motherland.

Modern Russia may not be the image of which the poetess dreamed, but thanks also to her poems, faith in great country will not disappear, and on the path to returning the former greatness of our Motherland in 2014-2015, we have already taken several big steps.

Theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva Every house is alien to me, every temple is empty to me, And everything is the same, and everything is one. But if along the way a bush stands up, especially a rowan... The poet has no homeland, the poet belongs first of all to the world. But every Russian poet belongs first of all to Russia. Always. The feeling of patriotism in Russian poets has been brought to some critical point. This is a cup that cannot be filled so that the water overflows. It's not enough for poets. Tsvetaeva is a Russian poet, in addition, she is an eyewitness to all the turning points of her time. Her lyrics are a chronicle. A chronicle of love experiences and a chronicle of Russia, the Motherland, and the twentieth century.

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva Not accepting the revolution of 1917, In May 1922, Tsvetaeva and her daughter went abroad to join her husband, Sergei Efron, a white officer. The decision to leave Tsvetaeva’s homeland was not easy: only her enormous, sizzling love for her husband forced her to leave the country. Tsvetaeva loves Russia, she would not exchange it for either Foggy Albion or “big and joyful” Paris, which took 14 years of her life: I’m here alone. It’s so sweet to cling to the chestnut trunk: And Rostand’s verse cries in the heart, Like there, in abandoned Moscow.

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva Most of what Tsvetaeva created in exile remained unpublished. In 1928, her last lifetime collection, “After Russia,” was published in Paris, which included poems from 1922-1925. Later, Tsvetaeva writes about it this way: “My failure in emigration is that I am not an emigrant, that I am in spirit, that is, in the air and in scope - there, there, from there...” For Marina Tsvetaeva, Russia is an expression of the spirit of rebellion, lush space and boundless latitude. Others go astray with all their flesh, From parched lips they swallow the breath. . . And I - arms wide open! - froze - tetanus! To blow my soul out - a Russian draft!

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva Poems written in exile are longing for the homeland, the bitterness of separation from Russia. Tsvetaeva forever merged with her homeland, with its free and desperate soul. The distance, innate as pain, is such a homeland and such a rock that everywhere, throughout the entire distance, I carry it all with me. Abroad, Tsvetaeva follows the events taking place in Russia. She writes poems about the Chelyuskinites, she is proud that they are Russian. I hold on to you with every muscle - and I’m proud: the Chelyuskinites are Russians!

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva Marina Tsvetaeva always admired the country in which she was born, she knew that her homeland was mysterious and extraordinary, where extremes sometimes come together without any transitions or rules. What could be warmer than your own land, which nurtured and raised you like a mother, which you cannot do without, which cannot be betrayed? Width and open spaces native land, the “Russian, through” wind – that’s what Marina absorbed. And it was Russia, vast and harsh, unyielding and patient, that she bequeathed to her son, Georgy Efron. My child. . . My? Her Child! The same reality with which reality grows. Can the earth, worn down to dust, be carried into the cradle by a child in shaking handfuls: “Rus' is this dust, honor this dust!”

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva The feminine principle is everywhere in Tsvetaeva’s work. Her Russia is a woman. Strong, proud, and... always a victim. The theme of death permeates all feelings, and when about Russia, it is heard especially loudly: You! I’ll lose this hand, at least two! I will sign with my lips on the chopping block: discord is my land. Pride, my homeland! “Motherland”, 1932 But these are “late” feelings. There is also childhood on the Oka River, in Tarusa, sweet memories and the desire to return there again and again in order to remember, to take with you the Russia of the past century: Give us back childhood, give back All the colorful beads, Small, peaceful Tarusa Summer days.

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva Marina Tsvetaeva’s childhood is connected not only with Tarusa, with Oka, but also, of course, with Moscow. . Moscow streets, the Moscow landscape are a constant background for the poet’s experiences, starting from his earliest poems. Already in the collection " Magic lantern» M. Tsvetaeva turns to the romantic past of the city: Houses with a sign of the breed With the appearance of its watchmen. . . Blue hills near Moscow, There is dust and tar in the slightly warm air. . . Moscow in the poetry of M. Tsvetaeva appears as the center of spiritual culture and history. : - the domes are burning, - the bells are ringing, And the tombs are in a row, - In them queens and kings sleep.

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva Central piece M. Tsvetaeva, dedicated to this topic, - First of all, the cycle conveys the deep emotion of the poet contemplating his beloved city. Love that reaches the point of delight - such is the feeling that awakens in the soul. The poems sound solemn and joyful.

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva The center of this city is spirituality. The popular faith is alive in this city, appearing again and again in the cycle of “forty churches”. Around the church - all the magpies And the doves flying over them, And the Spassky gates with flowers, Where the Orthodox hat is taken off. And as many as forty churches Laugh at the pride of kings! Seven hills are like seven stakes, On seven bells there are bell towers. All in all: forty, - Bell Seven Hills!

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva Moscow for Tsvetaeva is a home and a gift that is not received, but given. She gives Moscow, as her most valuable asset, to both her daughter and her lover as a guarantee of genuine feelings: With her husband Sergei Efron With her daughter Ariadna Efron

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva Moscow in Tsvetaeva’s poems appears as a spiritual inheritance, the unity of faith and history, which is given to a person for his entire life - from birth to death. The feeling of blood connection with the native land creates personality. That is why the final poem of the cycle is about the birth of the poet: The Rowan was lit with a red brush. Leaves were falling. I was born.

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva In her autobiography, Tsvetaeva writes that she returns to Moscow in 1939 from emigration to give her son, George, a homeland. But, perhaps, to return this homeland to yourself? . . But the old Moscow about which she wrote in 1911 no longer exists; “languid great-grandmothers, the glory of the Houses of Old Moscow,” have perished. This is the terrible era of Stalin with boarded up doors and quiet whispers of gossip. Tsvetaeva is suffocating, again irresistibly drawn to childhood, she wants to run away and hide from all the “dirt” pouring from above. But she is also amazed at the strength of her people, who have withstood the difficult trials of incessant coups and continue to bear the unbearable burden of dictatorship. She is subdued by him, she is proud, she knows that she is also part of this people: The people are the same as the poet - Herald of all latitudes, - Like the poet, with his mouth open, Stands - such a people! "The People", 1939

The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva The theme of the Motherland is, first of all, the theme of the entire Russian people, Russian history, it is the theme of Derzhavin, Ivan the Terrible, Blok. Tsvetaeva’s work is all one. She herself is part of this Motherland, its singer and its creator. She cannot live in Russia and cannot live away from it. Her whole fate and creativity is a paradox. But the paradox is far from meaningless! Tsvetaeva is like a mirror - she reflects everything, without distortion, she accepts everything, she simply cannot live with it, with this inescapable feeling of homeland. And all of it, this feeling, is in her poems: Suffer me! I am everywhere: I am dawn and ore, bread and sigh, I am and I will be, and I will obtain Lips - just as God will obtain the soul.

The theme of the homeland in the works of writers of the early 20th century occupies central place. This is most clearly manifested in the works of poets and prose writers who did not accept the revolution and left Russia in order to glorify the long-suffering country far from their home, turning their innermost thoughts and experiences to it. One of these poets was Marina Tsvetaeva.

The fate of the poetess M. Tsvetaeva is complex and diverse. She began writing very early, at the age of sixteen, but even then she inner world amazed with its richness and versatility.

Already in early work M. Tsvetaeva noted the motives of sadness and hopelessness. Subsequently they became more and more intensified. Tsvetaeva’s poetic style was formed under the influence of the richest poetic culture last decade"Silver Age" At the age of thirty, Tsvetaeva and her family were forced to leave Russia. Longing for her is reflected in such works as “Motherland”, “Chelyuskintsy”, “Longing for the Motherland”. However, it would be wrong to assume that the topic of her native land became relevant for Tsvetaeva only from the moment she went abroad. The poetess always worried about her country, lived with its victories and failures, but over the years, bitterness was mixed with the feeling of love - strong and painful.

Some contemporaries tried to accuse the poetess of betraying Russia, although she never forgot the dirty and noisy cities, quiet villages and fields of her country. Her love was constant. We find confirmation of this in the cycle “Poems about Moscow,” which was written several years before emigration.

It does not yet contain that hopeless melancholy that will arise in the poetess’s work in subsequent years. On the contrary, the poem testifies to Tsvetaeva’s hopes and affection for her Motherland, which is personified by the image of the capital.

Moscow! How huge

Everyone in Rus' is homeless.

We will all come to you.

Tsvetaeva feels part of the capital city. Her soul is filled with love for Moscow, she exalts it: “I exalt you, the best burden.” The capital is associated for the poetess with the concept spiritual world, hence the frequency of using religious words in describing the city: domes, crown, churches, bell ringing. Moscow is identified with the divine city, which cannot be forgotten.

Seven hills are like seven bells,

On the seven bells of the bell tower.

All in all: forty forty, -

Tsvetaeva’s attitude towards Moscow suggests her awareness of significant moral duty in relation to your favorite city. Just as those who are getting married before the altar repeat the oath after the priest, uttering the words: “Both in sorrow and in joy. “, in the same way, Tsvetaeva recognizes her desire to be with Moscow not only during her reign, but also during the period of sorrows. “. Where even dead I will be happy,” she says, about inseparability from the ancient Russian capital.

Marina Ivanovna is connected with the “wonderful” and “peaceful” city by inextricable ties, therefore in the poem she blesses her descendants for an alliance with Moscow. Thus, she makes it clear that the capital is timeless, it is forever young, and there are and will always be people who perceive her as a faithful friend, mother.

She is ready to hand over Moscow to the next generation with sacred trembling in her heart, “with tender bitterness,” as she herself admits, but at the same time she tries to set an example of the attitude that must certainly be present among her descendants. Marina Ivanovna herself hopes to remain with Moscow after her death.

Along the streets of abandoned Moscow

I will go, and you will wander.

And not one will be left behind on the way,

And the first lump will crash on the coffin lid, -

And finally it will be resolved

A selfish, lonely dream.

And from now on nothing is needed

To the newly deceased noblewoman Marina.

Russian people have always associated Moscow with the concept of the Motherland, and its name merged a great many spiritual aspects. It seems to me that Marina Tsvetaeva, speaking about the capital, had in mind Russia as a whole, and its attitude towards capital city is an echo of reverent awe for her native fatherland, which has always been for her the sphere of sacred duty.
