News at Eleven: [Boris] Pasternak distinguished between

his love for Evgenia, which gave life to "living children", and his higher romance with [Marina] Tsvetaeva, which pushed at the bounds of what love between a man and a woman can accommodate. Tsvetaeva, meanwhile, "cast herself as a mother to Pasternak’s poems", and also fantasized about bearing him a real son.
