Essay: The most Tsvetaeva poem According to Tsvetaeva’s poem, I will conquer you from all lands, from everyone. Analysis of Tsvetaeva’s poem “I will conquer you from all lands, from all heavens...” Love without measure

I will conquer you from all lands, from all heavens,
Because the forest is my cradle and the forest is my grave,
Because I stand on the ground with only one foot,
Because I will sing about you like no one else.

I will win you back from all times, from all nights,
All the golden banners, all the swords,
I'll throw in the keys and chase the dogs off the porch -
Because in the earthly night I am more faithful than a dog.

I will win you away from all the others - from that one,
You will not be anyone's groom, I will not be anyone's wife,
And in the last argument I will take you - shut up! -
The one with whom Jacob stood in the night.

But until I cross my fingers on your chest -
Oh damn! - you are left with - you:
Your two wings, aimed at the ether, -
Because the world is your cradle and the world is your grave!

Analysis of the poem “I will conquer you from all lands, from all heavens...” by Tsvetaeva

The poem “I will conquer you from all lands, from all heavens...” (1916) is one of the most vivid expressions of female love in poetry. Tsvetaeva was able to describe this boundless feeling with great power and expressiveness. The poetess was often criticized for such an immoderate expression of love, citing the fact that only a man in love is capable of such a feeling. Of course, the criticism was male. Tsvetaeva’s work simply did not fit into traditional ideas about love with the absolute superiority of the masculine principle. Researchers believe that the poetess is polemicizing with Blok’s Don Juan. Some lines of the poem are an obvious dialogue with Blok’s lyrical hero.

Tsvetaeva immediately declares her full right to her lover. This right was given to her from above as a merit for her great love. The poetess claims that this feeling allows her to rule over the whole world, freeing her from physical dependence (“I stand on the ground with only one foot”). Under the influence of love, the heroine is even able to control time and space at will. She hints that she will find and take possession of her beloved in any historical era on earth and in heaven. No one can hold her back or stop her. If another woman stands in the heroine’s way, she will break earthly laws and enter into a “final dispute” with God himself. Tsvetaeva doesn’t even give a man the right to choose (“shut up!”). She is confident that she can win the sacred duel.

In the last stanza, the heroine warns that her last resort will be the murder of her loved one, after which their souls will merge forever. She bitterly admits that the man is too much attached to earthly existence. The poetess uses antithesis to show the difference between them. The “cradle and grave” of a man is the earthly world, while its beginning and end is the forest, symbolizing a free life without any restrictions (perhaps referring to the ancient Greek goddess Artemis). The murder of a lover will only be his physical death, which will remove earthly shackles from him and allow him to be reborn in a new spiritual form.

Tsvetaeva’s poem has become a symbol of boundless female love, sweeping away all barriers and laws in its path. Few poetesses were able to express their feelings to the same extent and shake the unshakable dominance of male love lyrics.

Analysis of the poem

“I will conquer you from all lands, from all heavens...” Tsvetaeva (1)

In the poetry of M.I. There is no trace of peace or tranquility for Tsvetaeva. She is all in a storm, in a whirlwind movement, in action and deed. Tsvetaeva understood every feeling only as an active action. It is not for nothing that her love is always a “fatal duel”: “I will win you from all times, from all nights, from all golden banners, from all swords...” Her love lyrics, like all poetry, are loud and frantic. Such poems sharply contradicted all the traditions of women's lyrics. In the poem I chose, Tsvetaeva reveals the credo of her life: to fight for everything that is dear and loved, not to give up in the face of any difficulty or obstacle. It seems to me that she had the strength to do this, because she clearly saw the goal in front of her, firmly knew that she was doing the right thing, making the only right decision, and it couldn’t be any other way.

I will conquer you from all lands, from all heavens,
Because the forest is my cradle and the forest is my grave,
Because I stand on the ground with only one foot,
Because I will sing about you like no one else.

The poem especially clearly expresses the poet’s appeal to the whole world, an exclamation, a cry that sharply violates the usual harmony, due to the extremely sincere manifestation of the feelings that overwhelmed her. On the one hand, Tsvetaeva’s lyrics are lyrics of loneliness, detachment from the world, but at the same time, they are an expression of endless longing for people, for human warmth.
The inconsistency of Tsvetaeva’s poetic world was also in the fact that her rejection of everyday life drew her beyond the bounds of everyday life, and her enthusiastic feeling of every moment of human existence forced her to passionately surrender to the burning of life.

I will win you back from all times, from all nights,
All the golden banners, all the swords,
I'll throw in the keys and chase the dogs off the porch -
Because in the earthly night I am more faithful than a dog.

Metaphorical images of golden banners and swords are associated with the motif of the lyrical heroine’s battle for her love with both friends and enemies. No war can stop it. The second stanza emphasizes that the heroine is confident of her victory precisely in earthly life (“Because in the earthly night I am more faithful than a dog”). However, she is ready to enter into an argument even with God in the name of love:

And in the last argument I will take you - shut up! -
The one with whom Jacob stood in the night.

A distinctive feature of Tsvetaeva’s poetic texts is their construction on one highlighted word. So, in the poem “I will recapture you from all lands, from all heavens...” the key word is “recapture.” The verb is used in the form of the future tense, but relies in its arguments on the certainty of the present (“I will win you back... because I stand on the ground...). The elliptically constructed sentence (“Because the forest is my cradle, and the grave is the forest”) also contains an affirmative intonation, which is read after the missing verb “is.” The categorical nature of the order - “shut up!” - reveals the power of character in the heroine, but it sounds all the more tragic: “Oh, curse! - you stay - you...” Moreover, the form of the verb “stay” reflects the duration of the action in time, something inevitable that the heroine will have to come to terms with. But humility is possible only after the “last argument,” and for now the woman stands with at least “one foot” on the ground until she crosses “on the ground.” di fingers,” she will fight for her happiness with her beloved:

I will win you back from all the others - from that one,
You will not be anyone's groom, I will not be anyone's wife...

The theme of death was interpreted by Tsvetaeva in the traditions of decadent poetry of the Silver Age, but we feel the poet’s irrepressible love and passion for life. This can be read in the sharpness of the rhythm, the impetuosity of the syntax of the poem, the expressiveness of the oppositions (“Because the world is your cradle, and the grave is the world!”).

We are struck by the bookish romance of the poem, but at the same time, the vivid aphoristic expression of feelings and thoughts creates an amazing sense of the reality of what is happening. Before us are not just the dreams of the lyrical heroine, but her living soul, full of experiences. The conversational intonations of the text are combined with high solemn vocabulary (“I’ll throw in the keys and drive the dogs away from the porch...”, “Your two wings aimed at the air...”). Such contrasts of lexical series convey the diversity of the inner world of the lyrical heroine, in whose soul exquisite romanticism and intense drama of human feelings are combined.

In the poem “I will conquer you from all lands, from all heavens...” the most remarkable features of Tsvetaeva’s poetry are embodied: activity and confidence that life is worth living, overcoming any obstacles, and on the other hand -. extreme vulnerability of the lyrical heroine’s heart. The internal energy of the word and image of the poem makes our heart ache, but this is a light pain through which comes the awareness of the meaning of life, life in love.

“I will conquer you from all lands, from all heavens,
Because the forest is my cradle and the forest is my grave,
Because I have only one foot on the ground,
Because I’ll sing about you like no one else.”

And it’s really difficult to imagine another artist performing this song, it seems to have been created for Irina Allegrova, but at the Star Factory it was once performed by Irina Dubtsova.

The one with whom Jacob stood in the night."

The lyrics of the song are written based on poems by Marina Tsvetaeva, and the music was written by composer Igor Krutoy.

“Ira herself asked to write music for these poems. She reread Tsvetaeva and she herself wanted to sing a song based on these verses. And by this time I didn’t have much experience writing for Allegrova. In general, writing to Tsvetaeva’s poetry is a big responsibility. It was a breeze. What worried me most was the issue of arrangement, because at the end there had to be a woman’s jealousy, brought to, I don’t understand to what heights, that she would calm down only when she saw him dead. Only Tsvetaeva could write such images and such. This should have been emphasized as much as possible in the arrangement and, as I remember, we worked a lot with the arrangement.”

“I will win you back” turned out to be so heartfelt that when you hear this song, goosebumps run down your skin. According to Irina Allegrova, this effect is achieved because all her songs are stories from life.

“In general, I call my songs little stories from life. People always ask me, are there autobiographical ones? I say no, these are your stories.”

“I will win you from all times, from all nights, from all golden banners, from all swords. I will throw away the keys and drive the dogs off the porch Because in the earthly night I am more faithful than a dog.”

Also in 1994, a video was shot for the song “I will win you back” and this video is unique.

“Before filming this story, director Tigran Keosayan, he went to church, he got the go-ahead to do so. Yes, because it’s like a piece of history, like the Bible. Yes, it was very brave."

The director of this video was Tigran Keosoyan and in one of his interviews he admitted that this was his best work.

“I think this is the best thing I’ve shot in my life in this genre. I didn’t shoot this video for a year, although all the technical nuances were observed. I didn't dare. When Igor Krutoy, the composer, gave me a rough soundtrack to listen to, at the end of the first verse I already knew what I was going to film. This is a sign for me. I was completely sure that I would shoot it this way. All that remains is the technical matter, I painted the shots. I wrote the script and took it to an Armenian priest, because I belong to the Apostolic Church, I was baptized there and also to an Orthodox priest. And then some strange things happened on the set. Just weird things. We filmed in a sand quarry in the Moscow region in Lyubertsy. Sunstroke, they just took me away in an ambulance. The shooting ended and suddenly, I said thank you for the shift, and the rain started pouring in, instantly. I believe this is a sign from God."

“I will win you away from all the others, from that one,
You will not be anyone's groom, I will not be anyone's wife.
And in the last argument I will take you, shut up,
The one with whom Jacob stood in the night."

Everyone who saw this video for this composition did not leave anyone indifferent. This was the History of the song “I will win you back.”
