Tyutchev biography wife

I still strive for you in my soul - and in the dusk of memories I still catch your image ... your cute image, unforgettable, he, everywhere, always, unattainable, unchanging, as a star in the sky at night ... G. They spent time, read each other's poems and carried them together with the sisters of Eleanor and Clotilda Botmer. Countess Emilia Eleanor such a full name belonged to one of the most aristocratic births of Bavaria and was four years older than Tyutchev.

In addition, she already had four children - boys from her first marriage with Russian diplomat Alexander Johan Peterson, who died shortly before the fateful meeting. But this did not become an obstacle for Tyutchev. Two months after acquaintance, February 21, the couple was secretly married. A strange haste that surprised many was attributed to the poet’s desire to get rid of the suffering caused by the betrayal of Amalia.

And yet it was not a flight of a revenge on a revenge, to force the former lover to be jealous. It is unlikely that these feelings were inherent in the poet. He became attached to Eleanor with all his heart, which became a truly source of inspiration for him. Eleanor gave birth to Tyutchev three daughters - Anna, Daria and Catherine, and the first seven years of their married life were held in an atmosphere of cloudless happiness.

But until her husband ... a new acquaintance appeared - Baroness Ernestine Dernberg. Eleanor guessed the unmistakable female instinct that this was not just a romantic love of her husband, but a real passion. There was tension in the family. Eleanor even tried to commit suicide with herself with a dagger of several blows to her chest. To save the family, Tyutchev decided to return to St.

Petersburg, and Eleanor made every effort to make her husband a place away from the dangerous Munich. Tyutchev was transferred to Turin, the capital of the Kingdom of the Sardinsky, appointing the first secretary of the Russian diplomatic mission. Four months later, spent in the northern capital, he went to a new destination. Eleanor and her children remained in St.

Petersburg, and in the spring of the year she went on a steamer to her husband in Turin. A fire broke out on the ship. Saving children, Eleanor received a strong nervous shock, but refused treatment. Her condition was aggravated when she found out that her husband’s love connection with Ernestina Dernberg continues. The woman began to languish, and on August 28, she died in Turin from pneumonia.

The poet was crushed by this loss and turned gray in one night. And 20 years after the death of Eleanor, he will write: so cute and deliberately.
