January 5, 1820 was born one of the most lyrical poets in Russia - Athanasius Fet. Among the greatest talents of the nineteenth century, his name was not lost. His small masterpieces of 8-12 lines, such as “Summer Evening” or “Evening”, are remembered due to the depth and originality of the images and their expression.
Evenings and nights
A. Fet included two “evening” poems in this cycle. Written in different years, they are surprisingly different. In the first, earlier, the poet still needs an interlocutor. In the second - he quietly enjoys the twilight that comes at night, which will give rest to all living things.
He alone, only the calming beauty of the universe, which the Lord created for our enjoyment.
Little masterpiece
In 1847, as a twenty-seven-year-old officer, he served in Ukraine and retired to the riverbank with a friend or girlfriend. Simple words that the evening is clear and quiet, urges the companion to peer into the thrill of a mysterious doze of willows above the river, into a pale red sunset, slightly muffled, into the sparkle of the whimsical twists of the river - this is an analysis of the poem “Summer Evening”. Fet sees how the crown wind swings over the forest, and wants this to be noticed by an invisible interlocutor.
This serenity is violated only by the clatter of the herd and the neighing of horses. But these are cute familiar sounds. A symphony is made up of color, brilliance and sounds, which will not fade away when stars appear in the sky. So you see two officers after the drill on the parade ground, dismounted and laid down on the shore and gnawing blades of grass. Close-ups, they examine what they can only catch a glimpse of during the day, or even not notice at all. The calm landscape painted with sunset colors is filled with sounds. He is ready to embrace and embody all the harmony of the world. This is the
analysis of Fet's
poem "Summer Evening". This miniature can replace the whole story.
Loneliness in the evening
Not long, only 12 stanzas, Fet's poem “Evening”. Analysis, or rather enjoyment of a fading evening, distant obscure sounds across the river. The hero listens attentively. Something swept in silence above the grove - Fet's poem “Evening” speaks of this. The analysis of simple everyday life is the theme of the poem. The discreet beauty of God's world embraces the poet as a whole. But as a lyrical hero peers intently into the details! An analysis of Fet's poem “Evening” is a subtle fixation of a minute whimsical mood. The river runs in bends to the west, burnt out in the sun, clouds dissolve with smoke.
From these visual and musical details, from this vigilance, Fet's poem “Evening” is composed. Analysis of the outgoing day, his sighs, warm, blue and green, a bright lightning, a hummock-blowing heat, did not miss an attentive, loving look. Today, he doesn’t need a companion - he just needs to let the whole world enter his soul and fill it. The internal connections of carefully selected details convey the
mood of the lyric thinker. From these details is the poem of Fet's “Evening”. He passes the analysis of his watercolor experiences to the reader. How close he is to seeing the eye and hearing the ear. His sincere songs teach not only to watch, but also to see, not only to listen, but also to hear.
Poet and epic prose writer
L.N. Tolstoy was one of the first to appreciate in full the lyrical audacity of his contemporary, neighbor and friend.
Being a strong owner of the estate, Fet often ran into the hospitable and open house of Lev Nikolaevich in Yasnaya Polyana. And he was amazed at how such an economic, good-natured and fat man had the ability to convey the most subtle movements of the soul, fill the world with beauty.
The poet runs away from rationality, and thoughts arise from him unexpectedly and dazzlingly. The lyrics of Fet are like the flutter of an ever-changing life.
