She was\u00a0born in Moscow, in 1892, to\u00a0a\u00a0classicist father and a pianist\u00a0mother. She published her first book of poems at\u00a0the age of seventeen. She lived through, and wrote about, the Russian Revolution and the Moscow famine that followed. In 1922, Tsvetaeva and her husband, Sergei Efron, along with two of their children, fled\u00a0Russia. They lived in increasing poverty in\u00a0Paris, Berlin, and Prague. In 1939, they returned to Moscow, and two years later, in 1941, her husband and daughter were arrested on espionage charges. Her husband was executed and her daughter imprisoned.\u00a0Tsvetaeva does not seem to have known that her husband was a spy: when the police interrogated her, she read\u00a0them French translations of her poetry and responded to their questions with such\u00a0confusion that the police concluded that she was deranged. Tsvetaeva and her son were evacuated to Yelabuga, where, in August of 1941, Tsvetaeva committed suicide.\u00a0These<\/em><em>\u00a0aphoristic phrases are taken from the diaries and notebooks she kept while living in Moscow between 1917 and 1922:<\/em><!--more--><\/p>\n<ol>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<blockquote><p>Betrayal already points to love.
