"And you kiss me like a queen, like a slave and a wife"

"And you kiss me like a queen, like a slave and a wife" - This is an excerpt from the poem "Elene Dariani"

 Elene Dariani's identity remains a mystery in Georgian poetry.

 Fourteen poems by 20th-century poet Paolo Iashvili, written under the pseudonym Elene Dariani, explore feminine erotic and romantic feelings. Later archival discoveries revealed Elene Dariani to be Elene Bakradze, a friend of Iashvili.Born in Tbilisi in 1897, Elene Bakradze met Paolo Iashvili in 1912, sparking a romantic relationship that persisted despite both marrying others.Neither Bakradze nor Iashvili acknowledged the true authorship of the poems during their lifetimes.
