Compositional and semantic analysis of Yesenin's poem “Birch. Yesenin's lyrical hero as an expression of Russian national psychology

Analysis of the lyrics of S.A. Yesenin

Sergei Yesenin lived and worked at the turn of two eras - old and new. The well-known saying that if the world splits in half, then the crack goes through the poet's heart, can be entirely attributed to Yesenin. Hence the drama of feelings with which his lyrics are filled, his sincere sorrowful self-confessions:

I'm not a new person, what to hide.

I stayed in the past with one foot.

Striving to catch up with the steel army,

I slide and fall differently.

The poet's path to a new life was difficult and difficult. But, despite all the falls and breakdowns, he followed this path, because the main feeling that possessed him never died in him - the feeling of an indissoluble connection with his people.

Already in the early period of creativity, the most obvious strong point Yesenin's poetic talent is his ability to paint pictures of Russian nature. The strength of the poet's lyrics lies in the fact that in it the feeling of love for the Motherland is expressed not abstractly, but specifically, in visible images, through pictures of the native landscape. Pictures are often not pleasing to the eye ("You are my abandoned land, you are my land, wasteland ...") (1914), but the stronger the love for the destitute homeland. It acquires special strength with the outbreak of the First World War - in this "time of adversity" ("Rus") (1914). But Yesenin also sees the bright colors of Russian nature: in many of his poems about Russia, joyful tones play and shimmer - blue, azure, crimson ...

Yesenin's landscapes are not deserted pictures, they are always "interspersed" with a person - the poet himself, in love with his native land.

The depiction of a person in close contact with nature is complemented by the poet's special love for all living things - animals, birds and domestic animals ("The Cow", "Song of the Dog", etc.).

And the beast, like our smaller brothers,

Never hit on the head.

Yesenin feels so attached to the past of the village that he perceives the need to part with it as his own doom. This gloomy theme gives rise to a decline of mental strength and pessimistic moods: more and more often the word "rock" appears in his poems, he sees a "fatal misfortune", he writes about the fate of the poet - "a fatal seal on him."

These moods were reflected in the cycle of poems "Moscow tavern" (1924). Here we find the poet in a state of extreme decay. Despair, indifference to life, an attempt to forget oneself in a drunken stupor are the main motives of this cycle.

But Yesenin found the strength to get out of this impasse. This was his great service to himself and to the new time. Later, he will tell one of his friends: “Listen! But after all, I left the "Moscow tavern". Gone! It was great and difficult. " And in one of his poems, he once again confirms this idea:

My old wound has settled

Drunken delirium does not gnaw at my heart ...

The tragedy of Yesenin's farewell to the past left dramatic traces in his work. But the past did not swallow the poet, living modernity turned out to be much stronger.

V creative development Yesenin's well-known role was played by his trip abroad.

Europe and America made a depressing impression on the poet. In one of his letters, he wrote: "What can I tell you about this terrible kingdom of philistinism ... Mister dollar is in terrible fashion, not art ... the highest is the music hall." “There, from Moscow, it seemed to us that Europe is the largest market for the dissemination of our ideas in poetry, and now from here I see: my God! how beautiful and rich Russia is in this sense. It seems that there is no such country yet, and there cannot be. "

Trying to break away from gloomy thoughts, Yesenin travels to the Caucasus (Baku, Batum, Tiflis). These trips were of great importance for him: they brought peace of mind, made it possible to concentrate, created a favorable environment for creativity. There he created a wonderful cycle of lyric poems "Persian motives" (1924-1925).

Yesenin repeatedly went to Persia, but he never managed to visit there. "Persian motives" reflected Caucasian impressions and impressions of Central Asia, where he spent some time. In addition, the poet was well acquainted with the work of medieval Persian lyricists (Omar Khayyam, Saadi, etc.). In his poems, the poet conveys the real atmosphere of the East, poeticizes the feeling of love

The craving for thinking about life, about oneself begins to occupy an advantageous position in Yesenin's lyrics in 1925. He creates many works that are commonly called philosophical lyrics. Yesenin turned 30 this year. He considered this age significant for a lyric poet, a turning point, making high demands on a person.

In the poem "My Way" (1925), he sums up the past: he recalls the events in the country, his youth, speaks of a new outlook on life, dreams of "that the talkative soul should sing in a mature way."

The poet seeks to gain a deeper understanding of “what happened, what happened in the country” (“Untold, blue, tender ...”) (1925). He wants to live, like other people, "under the merry burden of labor", does not separate himself from these people ("Bless every work, good luck ..." (1925), "I walk the valley ..." (1925)). Not without regret, the poet says goodbye to his stormy youth, but at the same time he understands well the need for a more mature attitude to life, higher demands on himself. He in many respects critically evaluates his past, takes into account the experience of the past, ponders the future ("Feather grass sleeps, dear plain ..." (1925)). The poet speaks of his attachment to life, rejoices in it, feeling himself reborn: “Rejoicing, raging and tormented, he lives well in Russia”, “I still fell in love with this life. I fell in love so much, as if at the beginning "," Again I came to life and again hope, just like in childhood, for a better destiny. " Yesenin is experiencing a surge of fresh energy, a new creative upsurge.

Yes, the past gravitated over the poet, he himself admitted: "I remained in the past with one foot." But there is something else in his work, the main thing - his passionate desire to understand the new time. No matter how contradictory Yesenin's poetry may be, it is impossible to deny the fact that the poet's deep faith in the present and future of Russia forms the basis of his work.

But the life he led for ten years left a heavy mark. These years were overwhelmed by too quick change of events, impressions, moods. The poet's extraordinary impressionability deepened the consequences of this: often accidental circumstances pushed him to rash actions and decisions. But Yesenin is still trying to cope with himself, he moves to Leningrad, taking the manuscripts with him, looking for a room to settle in this city, where his literary glory began. But on the night of December 27-28, 1925, Yesenin died.

Sergei Yesenin lived for only thirty years, but his artistic legacy contains great artistic wealth. Yesenin's lyrics are based on Russian folk poetry. The poet constantly turns to Russian nature, when he expresses the most intimate thoughts about himself, about his place in life, about his past, present and future. “In my soul, the lemon light of the sunset and the rustle of blue lilacs,” wrote Yesenin in moments of calming down. “Soon I will get cold without foliage,” “The bad weather will lick my way with my tongue,” he said in an hour of bitter meditation. The portrayal of our own experiences through pictures of Russian nature naturally led to what we call the humanization of nature: "Dissuaded the golden grove with a cheerful birch tongue", "The bird cherry is sleeping in a white cape," a birch tree stands over a pond in a white skirt ... "This principle of depiction brings nature closer to man, makes him especially fond of it.

Yesenin also borrowed many colors of his poetry from Russian nature. He does not just copy from, each paint has its own meaning and content.

Blue and light blue - these colors are most often found in Russian nature, it is the color of the sky and water. In Yesenin's poetry blue color symbolizes peace and silence, the mental balance of a person: "Ineffable, blue, gentle ...", "My land is quiet after storms, after thunderstorms." The blue color conveys a joyful feeling of spaciousness and freedom: "blue field", "blue doors of the day", "blue star", "blue Russia ..."

“The scarlet color is lovely to the whole world,” says a popular saying. This color, beloved by Yesenin, always denotes in his poetry virgin purity, immaculateness and purity of feeling ("The scarlet light of dawn was woven on the lake ..."). Pink color symbolizes youth, "fresh pinkness of cheeks", "thoughts of rose days ..." Unforgettable "pink horse" Yesenin.

These paint-symbols are characteristic of the romantic poet, who uses colors not so much in a direct sense as in a conventional meaning. One of the reasons for the emotional impact of Yesenin's lyrics lies in the color display of thoughts and feelings.

“My lyrics are alive with one great love, love for the Motherland. The feeling of the Motherland is the main thing in my work, ”said Yesenin. This love and these feelings were vividly imprinted not only in the content of his lyrics, but also in his very poetics, associated with the poetics of the people.

An unprecedented sincerity of tone, a rare gift of direct vision of the world, the ability to look at phenomena and things with an unbiased look, to unexpectedly extract beauty and joy from objects that have long been erased by everyday life, a special ability to express human feelings, both simple and complex - this is what characterizes Yesenin the poet ...

Yesenin was 18 years old when he left his village in order to try his luck in the big city. Like a magician, he brings to life the beauty of familiar things in the reader's imagination. Folklore and expressiveness - this is what is attractive in the poem "Birch". It, like a Russian folk song, fills the soul with warmth and light. The poem "Birch" Sergei Alexandrovich wrote in 1913, even before the tragic events in the Russian Empire, which radically influenced the policy of the state. Along with many other poems about nature, it refers to the early work of the poet. In his youth, his attention was most of all occupied by the theme of the peasant landscape.

Brief compositional Yesenin:

"Birch" is one of those poems in which you can clearly see that its composition is based on a description of nature. It consists of four quatrains. The first includes the main meaning of the poetic work: in it the writer reveals to the reader the source of his inspiration. Main compositional technique- impersonation. In addition, the analysis of Yesenin's poem indicates the lack of development of the plot, culmination and denouement. This work can be confidently attributed to the landscape genre.

A brief rhythmic analysis of Yesenin's poem gives a general idea of ​​its form. Playfulness and lightness are provided by the structure, which contains three forms of syllabic-tonic versification: monosyllabic chorea, five-foot iambic meter and two-syllable dactyl. The feminine and masculine rhymes constantly alternate with each other, with the first line ending with a feminine rhyme, and the last with a masculine one. Throughout the entire verse Yesenin used the same rhyme, which is called "idle": only the second and last lines of the quatrain (ABCB) rhyme in it. Brief phonetic analysis Yesenin's poems: in a large number there are lingering vowels, in particular O and e, and sonorant consonants n and R... Due to this, the intonation when reading aloud turns out to be affectionate and gentle. Yesenin's style is full of sensual experiences that instantly fill the reader's imagination with eloquent images.

Semantic analysis of the poem:

Yesenin was attracted by city life, but in his heart he remained faithful to the beauties of the Russian hinterland and, yearning for the landscapes of his small homeland, wrote many lyric poems on this topic. And for this short, but no less beautiful, work, the theme is nature. The main role in creating a poetic image is played by the attitude of the lyrical hero to the birch tree, with whom Yesenin himself associated himself. The analysis of the poem and the impressions it evokes reveal to the reader the youth, lightness and romance of the author. At first glance, the title of the poem "Birch" is simple and straightforward, but it personifies the poet's deep affection. It is a whole tradition to chant our native birch tree. For Yesenin, it is not only a tree: it is a symbol of Russia. In addition, in his poems, the author has more than once compared the image of his beloved woman with this truly Russian tree. The very love for Russia was Yesenin's unique talent, because this feeling is the only thing that can bestow the poet with immortal glory.

Yesenin wrote about young, tender, poetic love in different years: "Imitation of the song" (1910), "The scarlet light of dawn was woven on the lake ..." (1910), "Golden foliage began to spin ..." (1918).

The poetic cycle "The Love of a Hooligan" (1923) is dedicated to the actress of the Chamber Theater Augusta Leonidovna Miklashevskaya. Love is perceived by the lyrical hero as a return to the lost tranquility, the acquisition of peace of mind. The cycle opens with the poem "A blue fire swept around ...", imbued with deep lyricism. The lyrical hero feels a renewal: "For the first time I sang about love, / For the first time I renounce making trouble." Tragedy gives way to sincerity.

The poem "You are so simple as everyone else ..." (1923) is a monologue of a lyrical hero, his explanation with the heroine. The poet admires her rare "austere" beauty: "Your iconic and austere face / Hanging in ryazans across the chapels." The characterization of the lyrical hero is based on the contrast between the past and the present:

I didn't care about these icons
I honored rudeness and a cry in a rake,
And now suddenly the words grow
The most gentle and meek songs

heavenly and earthly love: "I do not want to fly to the zenith, / The body needs too much."
In A Letter to a Woman (1924), the poet creates an image of past and disharmonious love: “Beloved! / You did not love me. / You did not know that in the crowd of people / I was like a horse driven in soap, / Spurred by a brave rider. " It is not easy for the lyrical hero, crushed by the "fate of events", who descended into the "ship hold", which was a "Russian tavern", to break with his old life, to strive for a new one. Social problems in "Letter to a Woman" are intertwined with personal ones.

The work is divided into two parts, not only by the sharpness, but also by emotional characteristics. “Then” and “now” are different stages in the life of the hero. “Then” - misunderstanding of what is happening around and “now” - gaining the meaning of existence: “I avoided falling from the steep. / Now on the Soviet side / I am the fiercest fellow traveler. "

The peak of Yesenin's love lyrics was the cycle of poems "Persian motives" (1925). The poet has long dreamed of visiting Persia and Turkey in order to better understand the life of the East. He failed to go abroad, but during a trip to Georgia and Armenia he managed to come closer to this understanding. He read books about Iran, got acquainted with the classics of Tajik and Persian poetry Firdousi, Saadi, Omar Khayyam.

The cycle includes 15 poems - about love, nature and homeland, the poet created an ideal world of beauty and harmony. Persian poetry had an undeniable influence on him. As he recalls

N. Verzhbitsky, “something deep fascinated the poet in these verses1. He walked around the room and recited Omar Khayyam. " The poem "Blue and Happy Country ..." was even called "Imitation of Omar Khayyam" in the manuscript. The mood of this cycle is in many ways the opposite of those that permeated the collection "Moscow tavern".

My old wound has settled
Drunken delirium does not gnaw at my heart.
Blue flowers of Tehran
I am treating them today in the teahouse.

Exotics, bliss, music of the southern region, culture and etiquette of the people, assimilated by the lyrical hero, are conveyed by the poet in the poem "I asked the money changer today ..." (1924). The poem is divided into two equal parts. In the first part, in an extended monologue, it is said about “heavenly” love. Three questions: “How to tell me for the beautiful Lala / In Persian the gentle“ I love? ”,“ How to call me for the beautiful Lala / The word “kiss”? that she is 'mine'? " Repetitions in these questions, assonances (consonance of the vowels "a", "s", "y"), exoticisms ("quieter than the Van jets") recreate a picture of peace and quiet.

The lyrical hero in this poem appears to be timid, shy. The "money changer" is depicted differently, a man of Eastern culture. He speaks insinuatingly and figuratively in the second part of the poem about love, using vivid comparisons (“eyes like yachons”, “red rose”, “petals”). According to his idea of ​​earthly love, when feelings do not know prohibitions, unnecessary words are not needed: “They don’t speak about love in words, / They only sigh furtively about love, / Yes, their eyes burn like yachons”.

In Batumi, S. Yesenin met the teacher of literature Shahane Nersesovna Talyan. “On the third day of our acquaintance,” recalls Sh. Talyan, “he brought me a manuscript of the poem“ You are my Shagane, Shagane! .. ”dedicated to me”.

The poem "You are my Shagane, Shagane! .." is based on the antithesis of the Persian world and the Ryazan land.

Because I'm from the north or something
That the moon is a hundred times bigger there,
No matter how beautiful Shiraz is,
It is no better than Ryazan's expanse.
Because I'm from the north, or what?

A meeting with an oriental beauty awakens memories: "Do not wake only the memory in me / About wavy rye in the moonlight." Lyrical confessions, comparisons are woven into the fabric of the poetic narrative, the circular design of the stanzas "You are my Shagane, Shagane! .." - I stanza; "Because I am from the north, or something ..." - stanza II; "I am ready to tell you the field ..." - stanza III; “About wavy rye in the moonlight ...” - IV stanza; "You are my Shagane, Shagane! .." - V stanza. However, all poetic motives link the stanzas into a single whole. In other poems of the Persian cycle, thoughts about Russia, about love, about beauty, about the meaning of human existence and about the proximity of cultures are also heard.

In September 1925, Yesenin returned to Moscow. The lines dedicated to farewell to Baku and Baku friends are permeated with sadness: “Farewell, Baku! I won't see you. / Now there is sadness in my soul, now there is fear in my soul. / And the heart at hand is now more painful and closer, / And I feel stronger the simple word: friend. "

The lyric-epic poem "Anna Snegina" (1925), which reflected the impressions of the trips to Konstantinovo in 1917-

1918 and 1924, became one of the most significant works of Yesenin of the post-revolutionary period. Memories of his native village, of the revolutionary events in the Ryazan region, of the poet's youthful love for the neighbor landowner Lidia Ivanovna Kashina are autobiographical. The poet emphasized his resemblance to the hero. The portrait details, names, peculiarities of creative destiny coincide: the blond "with curly hair" invites Anna to read her poems "about tavern Rus", she reproaches him for his scandalous life. This similarity is the expression of the romantic tradition.

The poem "Anna Snegina" developed the theme of the "noble nest", which was reflected more than once in Russian literature. The collapse of the noble family estates, depicted by A.P. Chekhov and I.A. Bunin, it was completed during the years of the revolution. The behavior of the heroine of the poem is an example of how easily the nobility parted with their values. She experiences the ruin of her economy without complaint, there is no hatred in her soul. The highest value for Anna Snegina is close people. In London, she goes to look "at the red Soviet flag" without fully understanding her attitude towards it.

The author is faithful to the humanistic tradition of Russian literature, which did not recognize class expediency as an aesthetic principle. He does not put his hero in a position where he must choose between love for Anna and the position of a famous poet. Due to the emigration of the heroine, their love is no longer given to be realized. The love story develops as a chain of fragments, states, impressions, that is, in an impressionistic manner. This "dotted" principle of plotting corresponds to the memory of the hero's feeling that runs through the whole poem as a leitmotif.

For the author, politics is not the defining moment in making decisions. However, the fate of almost all the heroes of the poem depends on the political situation. The peasants are still unable to solve the most important issue for them - the question of land. The author does not condone riots, whatever the cause. The men didn't get any happier after the establishment Soviet power... The conflict between the Kriushans and the Radovites, the murder of the foreman, according to the poet, is the beginning of the death of the village. The revolutionary-minded Pron is characterized unflatteringly: “Bully, fighter, rude. / He is always angry at everyone, / He's drunk for weeks in the morning. " The rebellious Kriushans are called “thieves' souls”, “sinful souls”. Traditional folk features are inherent in the miller and his wife. Pron is a type of modern rebel born in a revolutionary era. In the image of Labuti, another modern type who lives "not a callus".

Kriushan did not make the foreman's blood richer, but the well-to-do Radovo also became impoverished. The epic theme of the poem is solved in the Nekrasov realistic tradition. There is a story about the people's leader, and a focus on the troubles of the people, and individual images of peasants. The stylistic features of the characters' speech and the free transition from one language element to another correspond to this tradition. The uncertainty of the ending of the poem corresponds to the uncertainty of the fate of the Russian village.

Returning to Moscow, Yesenin tried to streamline his life, break with bohemia, and start a family. He married Sofya Andreevna Tolstaya (the granddaughter of Leo Tolstoy). At this time he worked very hard - preparing the Collected Poems for publication.

Unlike the previous poem, "The Black Man" (1923-1925) was created over several years. Yesenin believed that this poem is "the best thing he ever did." Literary critic N.I. Shubnikova-Guseva writes: "... in the" Black Man "broad philosophical generalizations, life impressions, signs of the cultural life of the first quarter of the 20th century, what was actually seen and experienced, merged in a complex way." The researcher singles out in the work “the motive of the soul, acutely feeling the pain of the surrounding world, and the theme of sacrifice,” therefore the poem is constructed as a philosophical parable with elements of confession.

The poem begins as a confession to a friend: "My friend, my friend / I am very, very sick." But the world is so cruel that a black man appears instead of a friend, from whom the lyrical hero has to defend himself.

"Black man!
You are a very bad guest!
This glory is long
It spreads about you. "
I'm furious, furious
And my cane flies
Straight to his face,
On the bridge of the nose ...

But the poet never succeeds in freeing himself from the black man. From stanza to stanza, the drama of experiences grows. "Somewhere crying / Night ominous bird, / Wooden horsemen / Sowing a hoofed clatter."

... The month died,
Dawn turns blue through the window.
Oh you night!
What are you doing, night!
I'm standing in a top hat.
No one is with me.
I'm alone...
And - a broken mirror ...

In "The Black Man" there are many rolls of words with the little tragedy of A.S. Pushkin's "Mozart and Salieri" (Yesenin spoke about this work more than once). Yesenin develops the theme of “genius and villainy”: “In Yesenin’s not only a poet and a black man confront each other, like Pushkin’s Mozart and Salieri, but at some point the hero sees a black man in himself and he himself deals with him not with poison, but with a cane "(NI Shubnikova-Guseva).

On December 23, Yesenin left for Leningrad, having completed the preparation of the Collected Works in the Moscow publishing house. In Leningrad, he stayed at the Angleterre Hotel.

The last poem "Goodbye, my friend, goodbye ..." the poet wrote on December 27, and in the morning of the 28th Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin was found hanged in his hotel room. He was transported to Moscow and buried at the Vagankovsky cemetery.

In one of his letters M. Gorky wrote: "If you knew, my friend, what wonderful, sincere and touching verses he wrote before his death, how magnificent his poem" The Black Man "... We have lost the great Russian poet ..."

The poem "Goodbye, my friend, goodbye ..." is one of the most famous works of Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin. It was written in December 1925, on the eve of the poet's death.

Analysis of Yesenin's poem Letter to mother

Sergei Yesenin is a famous Russian poet, whose poems are still read and loved. The poem "A Letter to Mother" was written in 1924 - in the last period of the poet's work, which is considered the most vivid and memorable.

From the very first poems, Yesenin's lyrics take the reader to a cozy and calm world in which he is comfortable and spend time with benefit. Yesenin's poems are very deep, deeply affecting the soul, regardless of who or what the author writes about. Especially sincerely and unusually, the author wrote poems about the city and the countryside. This is due to the fact that the writer himself comes from a small village and, of course, knows how the peasants lived in Russia, how they ran their household and what they did at that time.

The village is one of the components of the writer's life.

In the works that describe the village, the author highlights the inseparable connection between peasant life and nature. All these poetic pictures, described in poems, were seen by the author in the real world and with his own eyes. In Yesenin's lyrics, there is not only a village, but also a city. Many of Yesenin's works are about the history of Russia and about the revolution that took place, about the people and the state. For example, in a small poem "Sorokoust" the author describes the time of the arrival of the revolution:

“Have you seen

As he runs through the steppes,

Hiding in the mists of the lake,

Iron nostril snoring,

On the paws of a cast-iron train?

On the big grass

Like a holiday of desperate racing

Throwing thin legs to the head,

Is the red-mane colt galloping?

From these lines you can see how the revolution is gradually covering the quiet life of ordinary people.

The revolution emerging from the city is portrayed in the poem as a huge machine approaching a defenseless, tender, touchingly beautiful nature like a cute little foal. Love is permeated with the author's appeals to the little konik, who is directly in his behavior, when he meets the iron guest. Thus, Yesenin shows that urban progress is incomparable with the everyday life and simplicity of the village, but this does not mean that the beauty and grace of the village are not noticeable behind urban innovations.

In many of Yesenin's works, the problem of the relationship between the village and the city is raised. The author felt with his soul the onslaught of the city on the village. He perfectly understood what urban progress could lead to, because these changes can destroy the subtlest connection between man and nature. But also, in many of the works of Sergei Yesenin, the superiority of the village over the city can be seen. The beauty of the village and its nature is incomparable with the dullness of the city. The author prefers a quiet life in the countryside, therefore, the life of ordinary peasants is most often encountered in his works. One of these works is the poem "My Log Wicket ...":

My gate

Log cabin.

Girls, women

They sing about spring.

Rook jumping

Over the arable land.

Curse you all

Yesterday's share.

Yesenin in this poem shows the usual village life, but painfully dear. In his works, the author admires peasant life, skillfully inscribing everyday life into the general picture of nature. It was love for their land, boundless faith in their people, patriotism in Yesenin's poetry, expressed with buying sincerity, that made it the property of the people.

Summing up, we can say that in Yesenin's lyrics, the world of nature and the world of peasant life form an inextricable harmonious unity. In this unity, the poet sees his ideal of natural being, true life. And the city, in comparison with this unity, is in the background.
