"To be his Aquiline Dove": Bird Images in M. Tsvetaeva's Book of Poems "Remeslo"

The article considers the semantics and functions of bird images and ornithological motifs in M. Tsvetaeva's book of poems "Remeslo" (Handicraft). The use of traditional symbols of folk poetry is traced, as well as the mechanism of creating the individual author's tropes on their basis. Associations with vari­ous birds are typical of Tsvetaeva's poetic approach and her self-identification. Therefore, the analysis of or­nithological images allows us to clarify the notion concerning the features of the poetic world of the "Remes­lo" and Tsvetaeva's mytho-poetics. It is traced how the bird images in many respects form and connect the metaplot of different lyrical cycles and the book as a whole. The emphasis is put on the analysis of the cycles "Separation", "Blessed news", "Praise to Aphrodite", and various poems thematically related to the parting with love, youth, and homeland.В статье рассматриваются функции образов птиц и орнитологических мотивов в книге стихов М.
