Summary/Abstract: One of the mysterious motifs in M. Zaretsky’s “Vyazmo” is the changeable color of Vera Zasulich’s eyes. The reoccurence of this artistic detail stimulates the search for its implicit meaning, and the analysis of J. Salinger’s “Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes” made by I. L. Galinska (1986) gives the key to decipher it. Both works are characterized by the motif of love in its complexity with the feeling of disgust. The study serves as the evidence to conclude that M. Zaretsky employs the canons of the ancient Indian poetics in all conscience.
