Abstract
oliksena Sergeevna Solov'eva (pseudonym Allegro; 1867-1924) was well known in her lifetime as a lyric poet, children's writer, and founder of the fine-arts and literature journal for children, The Path (Tropinka, 1906-12).1 Like most of the Russian Symbolists who were her close literary associates, she was deeply inspired by the religious philosophy and poetry of Vladimir Solov'ev (1853-1900). It was not merely because Solov'ev was her brother that contemporaries felt a strong affinity between his work and hers, mainly in the metaphysical themes and images of their poetry.2 As a poet and writer Solov'eva shared not only Solov'ev's yearning for transcendent reality but also a vision of the Eternal Feminine as mediator between the immanent and the transcendent.
