Intuitive Ontology of Poetic Word

The object of the study is the creative intuition, which belongs to the mystical and secret phenomena of personality existence. The acting mecha­nism of intuition in the creative process is not fully clarified, which makes it an actual scientific problem. Thanks to intuition, a poetic work displays the reality of possibilities, which might eventually become the actual reality in the form of personal being-in-the-world not only of the creator, but also of the rea­der. For the first time ever, the article analyzes, from the position of intuitive ontology of poetic word, a small lyrical poem by Marina Tsvetaeva “Mother in the Garden”, which she presented to Lena/Galya Dia­konova/Gala. This poem contains the life story of Gala, who became the wife and the muse for the great people — poet Paul Éluard and artist Salvador Dali. Gala, having intuitively chosen her favorite Tsvetaeva’s poem, did not leave any records about its text. It remains a mystery whether she had interpreted it or, having left Russia, tried to forget about it forever. A performed interpretation of the poetic text led to the conclusion: the lyrical poem by Marina Tsvetaeva demonstrates, in a rolled-up form, the fate of Gala and her difficult relationship with her husbands — P. Éluard and S. Dali. The article explains many of the woman’s oddities in her communication with men by the specifics of her being-in-the-world. Gala’s exi­stence was based on multiple fears. Their dominance in her life caused her hysteria, which turned her into a femme fatale. In her youth, Gala had been coping with the pressure of her fears, reducing their active force; while in her old age, the woman fell in their grip, which played a destructive role for her. Despite her intuitiveness of thinking, Gala was broken by her fears, which had been prophetically foretold, long before the real events, by the poetic lines of M. Tsvetaeva.
