"ВСЕ, ЧЕМ В ЛУЧШИЙ ВЕЧЕР МЫ БОГАТЫ, / НАМ ТОБОЮ ВЛОЖЕНО В СЕРДЦА": THE IMAGE OF MOTHER IN EARLY LYRIC POETRY BY M. TSVETAEVA

Abstract

The article is devoted to one of the least studied themes in the present "tsvetaevedenie" - early lyric poetry of the poetess. In this article the image of mother is considered on the material of the first two Tsvetaeva's collections - «Evening Album» (1910) and «Magic Lantern» (1912). Much attention is paid to the variety of psychological states of a lyrical character, who experienced loss of mother in early childhood and recreated her image in memory. This study shows that the image of the mother becomes a kind of emotional «tuning fork» of the two books. Sequential analysis of several poems in two collections leads to the conclusion that without addressing the image of the mother, it is impossible to understand the uniqueness of the philosophical and aesthetic views of M. Tsvetaeva, which formed the basis of her early work.
