Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941) and Liljana Dirjan (1953), the former the Russian and the latter the Macedonian authoress, missed each other in time and space, but they both live in the timeless and spaceless world of Poetry. Hence the attempt to make an analogy between them as a dialogue of the old with the new, or the latter with the former, and ultimately of the present (contemporary) with tradition. Since that is the only way of establishing continuity in literature. It is highly thankless and pretentious to make an analogy between two such original poetic figures as Tsvetaeva and Dirjan. Nevertheless, the explicit creative dialogue that the Macedonian authoress has established with her favourite poetess justifies the above relation. As an illustration, the paper is to focus on Liljana Dirjan’s latest, and first prose work – Sneg za dvajca (2011) / Snow for Two – and particularly on the text entitled ‘Mastilnicata na 50 Marina’ / ‘Marina’s Inkwell,’ which, for the most part, is an explicit quotation of a letter that Tsvetaeva wrote to the poet, prose writer and essayist Yevgeny Lozman in December of 1920. The choice of Tsvetaeva itself speaks volumes of Liljana Dirjan literary affinities. In Sneg za dvajca, in addition to Tsvetaeva, is mtntioned a myriad of masters of the written word. Still the pedestal in this literary Pantheon has been reserved for Tsvetaeva, ‘the queen of my heart,’ as Dirjan once stated in an interview.
