If you had no place to live -- no food -- no love -- Elena would take you in. She was married -- her husbands were taken away, died, left her. She took lovers -- new, young, old. She suffered in prison...lived as mistress, then servant in the old palace...hid the persecuted ones...melted her make-up for artists' paints...memorized poems while poets burned their manuscripts...found an antique silver crucifix--the state didn't make them anymore...and tried to live--until the next spring. Elena...THE FLUTE-PLAYER
