“I live to nausea” – the diary prose of Marina Tsvetaeva, the poet, whose gaze throughout life was directed “deep”, and not “outside”: “I have at all the atrophy of the present, not only do not live in it.” Having combined many human voices and destinies, Marina Tsvetaeva was a unique herald of the “living” human soul. Here is the diary entries and notes of a person who did not tolerate vulgarity and transactions with conscience and surrendered to life and feelings she generated without a trace: “In my feelings, as in children, there are no degrees.”
Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva is a great Russian poet, whose sensitivity and insight found their expression in incredible intonation -rhythmic expressiveness. The poet’s prose was written with genuine sincerity, the explanation of which Joseph Brodsky found in spiritual power gained by enduring: “Tsvetaeva is indeed the most sincere Russian poet, but this sincerity, first of all, is the sincerity of sound – as when they scream from pain.”
