On October 25, 1928, Vladimir Mayakovsky met Tatyana Yakovleva in Paris. She is called the poet's second muse. Of all the women with whom Mayakovsky was close, he gave not only his heart, but also lines to only two - Lila Barik and Tatyana Yakovleva.

A year and a half before the meeting with Maikovsky, Tatyana Yakovleva came from Russia to Paris to call on her artist aunt. Twenty-two years old, beautiful, tall, long-legged, with expressive eyes and bright yellow hair, a swimmer and tennis player, she, irresistible, attracted the attention of many young and middle-aged people in her circle. Mayakovsky could not resist either. For forty days of his stay in Paris, the poet was completely happy. Yakovleva also liked Mayakovsky. "He is so formidable both physically and morally that there is literally a desert behind him. This is the first person who managed to leave a mark on my soul... ", she wrote to her mother in the Soviet Union. But Yakovleva responded evasively to the poet's pleas to become his wife and go with him to Moscow. Vladimir Vladimirovich saw this evasion as a disguised refusal. Soon he himself was forced to return to his homeland, where urgent matters awaited him - it was necessary to supervise the production of the bug. Before leaving for the Soviet Union, Vladimir Vladimirovich made an order from a Parisian conservatory to send flowers every week to the address of his beloved woman. And for several years they brought roses from Maikovsky to Lykovleva on Sundays. As he left, the poet believed that things could still work out for them in the future: “Come here,.

go to the intersection

my big ones

and clumsy hands.

don't you want Stay and winter.

And that's an insult.

We will reduce it to the general account.

i don't care

you.

I'll take it sometime.

one.

Or together with Paris."

But nothing will work out for them. In 1930, Mayakovsky shot himself, and Tatyana Yakovleva lived in love, happiness and prosperity until 1991, extending the poet's life by almost 61 years.
