Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin “Confession” wrote at the age of 27 years. This poem was dedicated to one of his many muses - Alexandra Osipova. Like many other creative people, Pushkin had an overly amorous and passionate nature. Personal experiences helped him develop and take his work to a new level. The poet devoted numerous verses to each object of his adoration. The time when Alexander Sergeyevich was fascinated by another muse was for him the best and worst at the same time, because few people reciprocated his feelings, the beauties only teased the man, causing him to suffer and be jealous.
It was one such impregnable lover that Pushkin devoted to “Confession”. Whose poem is dedicated to, is of interest to all fans of the poet, because he admired many ladies. Alexander Sergeyevich had to see some girls quite often, but fate reduced others to others only for a short time and separated them forever. A prerequisite for writing a poem was the removal of Pushkin in 1824 from public service. Then he was exiled to the family estate of Mikhailovsky for harsh and rash statements in relation to the tsarist regime.
The poet had to spend two years in the estate, it was strictly forbidden to leave the village. Friends and acquaintances came to the disgraced nobleman very rarely, so Alexander Sergeyevich entertained himself by communicating with his neighbors. He often paid a visit to the widowed landowner, who lived with 19-year-old Alexandra Osipova. Pushkin “Recognition” did not write immediately, but after two years of acquaintance with the beauty. Alexandra was the adopted daughter of the landowner, so she felt insecure and constrained. The poet often played with his neighbor’s children, but the girl did not take any part in these games.
Pushkin's poem "Confession" is imbued with sincere feelings for the beauty, the poet suffers from the fact that he can not tell her about his love. He cherishes every moment when she is nearby, looking at him or talking. At the same time, the poet understands that he is not the best party for the young beauty, and she will never reciprocate his feelings, and therefore asks at least to pretend to be favorable to him.
Pushkin wrote “Confession” in 1826, but did not manage to present it to his beloved, because he received permission at that time to return to Petersburg.
After parting with the object of adoration, the poet did not forget about Alexander Osipova. He dedicated several more romantic and exciting poems to her. Only 10 years later, Pushkin returns to Mikhailovskoye. “Confession” had not been read by Alexandra until this time, so the poet was delighted when he found out that his muse was visiting his stepmother.
Osipova received a short note from Alexander Sergeyevich asking him to stay for a few days until he arrived at the estate, but the girl did not answer him. Alexandra successfully married, so she was not interested in either Pushkin or his poems. They never crossed or met anywhere else, but Osipova in the history of literature has remained one of the muses of the great poet.
