A.S. Pushkin wrote "The Daylight Soon" wrote in 1820, when he went to his southern exile. The voyage from Feodosia to Gurzuf brought back memories of the irrevocably past time. The surrounding atmosphere also contributed to the sad thoughts, because the poem was written at night. The ship moved quickly along the sea, which was covered by impenetrable fog, which did not allow to see the approaching coast.
The themes of "poetry and poet", love and civic lyrics were touched in his works by Pushkin. “The daylight has gone out” is a vivid example of
philosophical lyrics, because in this poem the author tries to understand the nature of the universe and find a place for man in it. In the form of writing, this work is an elegy - a genre of romantic poetry, inspiring a lyrical hero to think about his fate, life, his own destiny.
Pushkin’s poem “The Daylight Has Faded” is conventionally divided into three parts, the refrain separates them from each other. First, before the reader there is a picture of the night sea, on which the fog fell. This is a kind of introduction to the main part of the philosophical work. In the second part, Alexander Sergeyevich indulges in memories of bygone days, about what brought him suffering, about his former love, about hopes and desires, painful deceit. In the third part of the verse, the poet describes his homeland, recalls that it was there that his youth blossomed, friends remained in this country.
Pushkin “The Daylight Has Faded” did not write in order to complain about his fate or to be sad about his youth irrevocably gone. The final part of the poem contains the main meaning - the hero has not forgotten about anything, he remembers his past well, but he himself has changed. Alexander Sergeevich did not belong to the romantics who want to constantly stay young, he calmly perceives the natural changes that occur with a person: birth, adulthood, the period of maturity, old age and death.
Pushkin’s poem “The Daylight Has Quenched” symbolizes the transition from youth to maturity, and the poet does not see anything bad in him, because over the years wisdom comes and a person begins to understand more objectively and evaluate the events that take place. The lyrical hero recalls the past with warmth, but he also treats the future quite calmly. The poet surrenders at the mercy of the natural course of things, he understands that man cannot stop the time, which in the poem symbolizes the ocean and the sail.
A.S. Pushkin, "The Daylight Has Quenched," wrote to express his humility before the natural laws of life. This is precisely the humanistic pathos and the main meaning of the work. In nature, everything is thought out in detail, the natural processes that occur with a person are not subject to him, he is not able to stop growing up, aging or outwitting death, but this is the eternal course of life. The poet admires the justice and wisdom of nature and thanks him not only for joyful moments, but also for the bitterness of insults, emotional wounds, because these feelings are part of human life.
