Abstract

The article deals with the semantics and symbolism of the square in the M.I. Tsvetaeva’s poem “Letter” (1923). It is suggested that analysis of this poem in a student audience should start with the consideration of semantics and expressions, and end with the history of compositional process in order to find out how the poetess managed to express or hide her feelings.
