Wonderful picture,

How dear you are to me:

White plain

Full moon,

The light of the high heavens,

And shiny snow

And the sledges distant

Lonely run.

A. Fet confesses his love for the winter landscape. In A. Fet's poems, shining winter predominates, in the brilliance of the prickly sun, in the diamonds of snowflakes and snow sparks, in the crystal of icicles, In the silvery fluff of frosty eyelashes. The associative array in this lyrics does not go beyond the limits of nature itself, here is its own beauty, which does not need human spiritualization. Rather, it itself spiritualizes and enlightens the personality. A. Fet introduced a village landscape, scenes of folk life into his poems, appeared in verses "the bearded grandfather", he "groans and crosses himself", or a coachman on a triple daring.

The poetry of F. Tyutchev is a kind of lyrical confession of a person who has visited “this world in its cancer minutes”, in the era of the collapse of centuries-old social foundations, moral dogmas and religious beliefs.

In his lyrical masterpieces F. Tyutchev outwardly proceeds, as it were, not from a predetermined thought, but from a feeling or impression that suddenly captured him, inspired by the phenomena of the external world, surrounding reality, a momentary emotional experience. The poet sees a rainbow and immediately sketches out a small, only eight lines "landscape in verse", as N. Nekrasov aptly called his poetic pictures of nature. But the process of creating a poem does not end there. In the poet's creative presentation, the brightness and fleetingness of the “rainbow vision” entails a different image - a bright and fleeting human happiness. A new stanza appears, and the “landscape in verse” takes on the meaning of a philosophical allegory (“How unexpected and bright.”).

Another example. The hopeless rain inspires the poet with the idea of ​​an equally hopeless human grief, and he writes poetry not about rain, but about tears. However, the entire intonation, the entire rhythmic structure of the poem is imbued with the never-ending sound of falling raindrops (“human tears, oh human tears.”).

A. Feta has always attracted the poetic theme of evening and night. The poet early developed a special aesthetic attitude to the night, the onset of darkness. At the new stage of his creative work, he already began to call entire collections "Evening Lights", in them, as it were, a special, Fet's philosophy of the night.

In A. Fet's “night poetry” a complex of associations is revealed: night - abyss - shadows - sleep - visions - secret, intimate - love - the unity of a person's “night soul” with the elements of the night. This image receives a philosophical deepening in his poems, new second meaning; in the content of the poem a second plan appears - a symbolic one. The association "night-abyss" receives a philosophical and poetic perspective from him. She begins to draw closer to a person's life. The abyss is the airway - the path of human life.

MAY NIGHT

Backward clouds fly over us

The last crowd.

Their transparent piece melts softly

At the crescent moon

A mysterious force reigns in spring

With stars on your forehead. -

You tender! You promised me happiness

On a vain land.

And where is happiness? Not here, in a wretched environment,

And there it is - like smoke

Follow him! follow him! by air

And we will fly away into eternity.

May night promises happiness, a person flies through life for happiness, night is an abyss, a person flies into an abyss, into eternity. Further development of this association: night-human existence-essence of being. A. Fet presents the night hours as revealing the secrets of the universe. The poet's night vision allows him to look “from time to eternity”, he sees “a living altar of the universe”. Association night - abyss - human existence, developing in the poetry of A. Fet, absorbs the ideas of Schopenhauer. However, the closeness of the poet A. Fet to the philosopher is rather conditional and relative. The ideas of the world as a representation, of a person as a contemplator of being, thoughts about intuitive insights, apparently, were close to A. Fet.

The idea of ​​death is interwoven into the figurative association of A. Fet's poems about night and human existence (the poem "Sleep and Death", written in 1858). Sleep is full of the hustle and bustle of the day, death is full of stately peace. A. Fet gives preference to death, draws its image as the embodiment of a kind of beauty.

The poem "Wonderful Picture", written in 1842, refers to the early period of A. Fet's work. It was included in the multi-motive "Snow" cycle (1850).

Related to landscape lyrics the poem describes a winter night close to the poet. Fet truly loves winter, he is attracted "Shiny snow" and "White plain"... The seeming simplicity of an unpretentious winter landscape bears in itself a beauty as pure as snow-white fields.

The work clearly shows main motives- the hero's fascination with the night landscape, the motive of the path that arises at the end of the poem, the motive of human loneliness, emphasized by the cold beauty of the snow-covered nature. The lonely moon over the white plain symbolizes this state of the human soul. Nature and man are fused together in the poem.

The main pictorial means poems are epithets: "Wonderful picture", "Shiny snow", "Lonely run", "High heavens", « full moon» ... Evaluative epithet "Wonderful" expresses the state of pacified admiration of the lyric hero. In the landscape sketch there is impersonation ("And a lonely sled run") and inversion ("High heavens", "Far sledges"), performing a dual role. It allows you to organize the fall of logical stresses in the poem on adjectives, and also introduces the motive of the path into the poem. In the first stanza, Fet resorts to the alliteration of the "r" sound, and in the second he uses the alliteration of the "s" sound to convey the sensation of light.

The poet addresses in the second stanza to repeat-periphrase ("full moon""Light of heaven", "White plain""Shiny snow"). Syntactic concurrency (wonderful picture, white plain, full moon) enhances the sense of harmony from the perception of the surrounding picture. Contrast colors of the poem- the moon against the background of the night sky, the darkening silhouette of the sleigh on the white snow - gives a special expressiveness to the winter landscape.

Fet uses in "The Wonderful Picture" trick of verbosity, conveying the present with the help of nominative sentences and the use of the personal pronoun "you" and short adjective"Native" ( "How dear you are to me"). The whole poem represents one difficult sentence... It creates the feeling that the poet is overwhelmed with feelings and speaks in one breath, and also conveys the feeling of a holistic perception of nature and unity with it. The narrative intonation emphasizes the lyrical hero's calm inner admiration for the surrounding beauty.

Compositionally the poem consists of two stanzas-quatrains. It is written to convey the dynamics and characteristic of folk songs tricycle chorea... Fet used cross-rhyming in The Wonderful Picture, which gives a special lightness to the work.

The poet builds a certain sequence in the poem images and feelings... The inner space of the piece has a well-defined rhythm: above ( "full moon"), wider ( "The light of the high heavens"), below ( "Shiny snow"), already ( "And distant sledges"). The keyword "running" combines all these multidirectional vectors into motion. The previously immovable world becomes moving.

Throughout the entire poem, the feelings of the lyric hero change: a subjective assessment at the beginning of the poem ( "Wonderful picture") is replaced by an objective description of the landscape ( "White plain", "full moon"), which gradually acquires emotional coloring ("Light of heaven", "Shiny snow"). The first two and last two lines of the poem unite the experiences of the lyrical hero - an aching feeling of the beauty of the native land, mixed with the feeling of a person's being lost in this world, among the endless Russian expanses.

Thoughtful landscape painter, Fet managed to convey in small poem all the beauty and charm winter night, the filling of the soul of the lyrical hero with feelings of pacification, calm love and light sadness, his spiritual kinship with his native nature.

  • Analysis of the poem by A.A. Feta "Whisper, timid breathing ..."

Artists write canvases, poets - poems. And as an artist with a brush, with one stroke, creates a play of chiaroscuro, so a poet - in one word, in one phrase, draws the subtlest shades and subtle shifts in artistic meaning. And so, before our eyes, as if in reality, there is a "Wonderful picture", written in words.

Pictures are different. On some I want to look and look, to others - I do not want to return. Because they do not leave a trace or a clue in the soul. So it is with poems. One - paints the beauty of birches in five, or even ten, quatrains, the other - in four lines. And these four lines attract, fascinate, make you want to re-read them again and again.

Many took up the landscape lyrics, but not all came out landscapes, and not everyone got the lyrics. And Afanasy Fet brought together both. A remarkable poet, the greatest lyricist and landscape painter. According to Nekrasov, after A.S. Pushkin, there was no one except Fet, whose poetry would give so much poetic and aesthetic pleasure.

In the poem of Afanasy Fet there are only two stanzas. No expression, no questions, no exclamations, no anxiety. Everything is simple, calm. Night. An amazing, fabulous, silence blows from the poet's picture. This white plain with a full moon is like a set of winter scenery for centuries.

The winter hostess came, turned the plain into a white canvas - smoothed out all the roughness and irregularities. The canvas, like a cover, like a canopy, covered the vanity, absorbed the movement. There is still silence, the flat snowy surface is illuminated " by the light of heaven high". On the fabulous surface - not a soul, only “ far away lonely sleigh».

This moving point is like a symbol of the fate of a person who is lonely passing his life path... Only he and the Almighty. What's next? Everything lurked, froze in anticipation, in anticipation of something wonderful. So children are waiting for the New Year. The expectation is in the air. You can smell it. The expectation of a miracle is its sure omen. Therefore, A. Fet calls his picture wonderful and dear, because a child lives in each of us and a desire to see the incredible.

And theorists have put the picture on the shelves. They praised the inversion - high skies, distant sledges. They were amazed at the sound, musical, lightness of the rhythm of the poem. They paid attention to the complete absence of verbs, and to the manner of writing a poem - tricycle trochee - characteristic of folk songs. We remembered that the work - early period and was included in the collection "Snow".

Afanasy Fet lived 72 years. The paradox of his, as a lyrical landscape painter, was that he was both enterprising and successful in matters of career and business. He began writing poems at the age of 15. Many young men at that time were fond of poetry, but for Afanasy Fet this hobby became his destiny. Because future generations will remember him as a poet, and not as a landowner or a military man. First, being deprived title of nobility, Fet made a military career.

Leaving the service, he bought an estate for his wife's dowry and turned it into a breadwinner - the whole family lived on the income from the estate. Rye was grown, poultry was bred, and a stud farm developed. And at the same time, the poet paid a lot of attention to creativity and self-development. He knew several languages. Before last days worked on translations. Despite the difficult and difficult life, Afanasy Fet did not complain, endured and in his works he glorified love and nature - that is, the Creator and His creation.

Full moon,

The light of the high heavens,
And shiny snow
And the sledges distant
Lonely run.

The ability to convey all the beauty of the surrounding nature in a few phrases is one of the most striking distinctive features creativity of Afanasy Fet. He went down in the history of Russian poetry as an amazingly subtle lyricist and thoughtful landscape painter who managed to find simple and precise words describing rain, wind, forest or different seasons. At the same time, only the early works of the poet differ in such liveliness and accuracy, when his soul was not yet darkened by a sense of guilt before the woman he once loved. Subsequently, he dedicated a huge number of poems to Maria Lazic, moving further and further in his work into love and philosophical lyrics. Nevertheless, a lot of early works poet, which are filled with amazing purity, lightness and harmony.

In 1842, Afanasy Fet wrote the poem "A Wonderful Picture", masterfully depicting a night winter landscape. For such works of the poet, venerable writers very often criticized, believing that the absence of deep thoughts in poetry is a sign of bad taste. However, Athanasius Fet did not claim to be an expert on human souls. He was just trying to find simple and accessible words to communicate what he sees and feels. It is noteworthy that the author rarely expressed his personal attitude to the surrounding reality, trying only to record various objects and phenomena. Nevertheless, in the poem "A Wonderful Picture" the poet cannot refrain from admiration and, talking about a frosty winter night, confesses: "How dear you are to me!" Fet feels a special charm in what surrounds him - "the white plain, the full moon" bring into the author's life long-forgotten feelings of joy and peace, which are enhanced by the "long lonely sled run."

It would seem that there is nothing remarkable and worthy of attention in the recreated picture of a winter night. Probably, the poem itself was written at the moment when Afanasy Fet was making a short trip across the vast Russian expanses. But the tenderness that the author puts into each line of this work indicates that such a night walk gave the author incomparable pleasure. Fet manages to convey his true feelings and remind all of us that you can experience happiness even from simple and familiar things, to which we often simply do not pay attention.
