“He is more,
Than other people
All the goodness is in the phenomenon. You -
Raised and finished -
There was a body in him
As much as
Few of this has pain -
Shinny ... "
B. Pasternak.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky. The same V.V., about which the textbooks talk from year to year, about which critics write, who is read in a loud voice (or not read at all) and of course we are the students of which are initially forced to read. Vladimir Vladimirovich, in a word. But I want to talk about something else Mayakovsok, without V.V., from the word

"Lighthouse".
I associate Mayakovsky with the revolution and the Bolsheviks, with a bright, cutting light.
He was a very unusual person, being a poet for him was not a profession, but a vocation. It seems to me that Mayakovsky is outwardly similar to his poems, or maybe these poems are similar to him? In poetry, he literally exploits his appearance. There is always a state of "enormity" in them.
Of course, Mayakovsky was aware of his exclusivity and, believing her spontaneous rightness, went ahead. For me, Mayakovsky is the beginning. The beginning of a new poetic era, a new connection between art and life, this is a new hero. Probably, Mayakovsky - the poet carries something of "not a poet": he is a master of the workshop, "making" poetry, and he is a fighter with a goal, which, perhaps, is easier to pursue by other means, not poetry.
Many of my classmates say that they do not understand Mayakovsky's poems. In my opinion, they just do not want to understand them. At first, I also could not find the meaning of the poems, I did not understand them. But it was only necessary to study more deeply the biography of Mayakovsky, the situation in the country at that time - everything immediately fell into place.
I cannot say that Mayakovsky is my favorite poet. I'm just very interested in “understanding” the meaning of his poems. Get to the bottom of them. Mayakovsky uses very unusual phrases in his poems, peculiar only to his poetry. Only Mayakovsky can write this:
Went to the hairdresser, said - calm
Please brush my ears.
Or like this:
People are scared - out of my mouth
An unchewed scream moves his legs.
There are a great many such examples. Mayakovsky does not have a single poem, the meaning of which does not need to be pondered.
I really liked the poem “Good!”. She just amazed me. The poem reflects the mood of the mass of people. I think that only the person with the greatest talent is that atmosphere, those events. Not just convey, but convey in verse, depicting satirically the enemies of the revolution. In my opinion, this poem is written in a very ingenious and plastic manner.
I think that Mayakovsky's poems cannot leave anyone indifferent. They must either like them very much or not like them very much. I like them for their originality, good comparisons:
Every poet is a child of his time. Mayakovsky feels this, he is “sick” of his era. This is evident in all of his works.
I think that the path of Mayakovsky - great and difficult - is not the only one in poetry, it is eternally renewed, like life itself. And he expressed the spurt of his time, the era of a grandiose, abrupt change. Perhaps this is why Mayakovsky is important today. With this, I hope it will come to the future.

You are the king: live alone. On the free road

Mayakovsky was closer to understanding the poet as a person fulfilling the "social order" of the society in which he lives. It is impossible for such a poet to ignore, on the advice of Pushkin, the crowd that "spits on the altar", where the creative fire of poetry burns.
However, it is not in the nature of the lyrical hero Mayakovsky to blindly obey the riots of the "bristling" crowd. In the fourth stanza, there is an unexpected resolution of the conflict. In the image of the poet, under the touchingly defenseless features, the strength and rebelliousness of the "rude Hun" appears. The lyrical hero challenges the narrow-mindedness and self-righteous stupidity of the crowd, which hides under the guise of a love of exquisite poetry. The audience comes to look at the poet's "antics", for them, connoisseurs and connoisseurs of classical literature, he is just a clown. And this clown promises: "I will laugh and spit happily, / I will spit in your face / I am the priceless words of a spender and a bastard."
In the fourth stanza of the poem "Nate!" five lines, not four as in the previous three verses. The penultimate line "Spit in your face" is the shortest, it stands out from the general rhythmic pattern of the stanza, the main emphasis falls on it. The rhythm of the verse emphasizes that it is in this line that there is a possible option for resolving the conflict between the poet and the crowd.
This ending brings to mind another work of Russian literature of the 19th century - a poem by M.Yu. "How often, surrounded by a motley crowd ...", where the lyrical hero is also ready to "throw in the face" of the crowd "an iron verse, drenched in bitterness and anger." Like Mayakovsky, Lermontov's lyric hero feels himself infinitely lonely and incomprehensible in the crowd. He seems to see through and through the guests at the ball, he is annoyed by their unnaturalness and spiritual emptiness, for which he wants to punish them with an "iron verse".
Hero Mayakovsky is irritated by the hypocrisy of his audience. They come to listen to the poet not out of love for art - they remain deaf to poetry and "priceless words", they are simply amused by his "antics". Shocking the lyrical hero of the poem "Nate!" Shocking behavior was characteristic of futurists, adherents of futurism - a literary and artistic trend of the early 20th century, to which he himself belonged. A parallel can be drawn between the Futurist manifesto, entitled "A Slap in the Face to Public Taste", and the spit of the hero of the poem "Here!"
This behavior of the "rude Hun" expresses the poet's freedom, his independence from the will of the crowd. The last line emphasizes that the poet does not lose anything from breaking with the public, because all the innumerable riches of words remain with him. Almost verbatim repeating the line from the beginning of the poem, the last line expresses the idea that the poet spends riches of poetry only for himself and at his own discretion, and not at all “throwing beads in front of pigs”, as it seemed after the first stanza.
The poet's loneliness, one of the main features of the lyrical hero Mayakovsky, is interpreted as freedom and creative independence, associated with his self-affirmation. In the image of the poet, the hero of the poem "Nate!", The main features of the lyrical hero of Mayakovsky's early work are revealed: in addition to loneliness, this includes the rebellious uncompromising character of the hero, a contradictory combination of strength and defenselessness, causing rudeness and tenderness.
The poet in the understanding of the author appears as a "spender and a waste" of priceless words. On the one hand, his squandering is a waste of his artistic talent for performing in front of those who are deaf to his poetic gift or who are aggressive towards the poet's work. On the other hand, the poet does not completely refuse to serve the public - his “joyful” revolt is planned only for “today”. The poet believes that at another time the other public will be able to perceive his poetry as a box filled with poetic treasures.

Composition by V.V. Mayakovsky - Miscellaneous

Topic: - Mayakovsky "Good attitude to horses"

Mayakovsky "Good attitude to horses"
It seems to me that there are not and cannot be people who are indifferent to poetry. When we read poems in which poets share their thoughts and feelings with us, talk about joy and sorrow, delight and sorrow, we suffer, experience, dream and rejoice with them. I think that such a strong responsive feeling awakens in people when reading poems because it is the poetic word that embodies the deepest meaning, the greatest capacity, maximum expressiveness and extraordinary strength of emotional coloring.
Also V.G. Belinsky noted that a lyric work can neither be retelled nor interpreted. Reading poetry, we can only dissolve in the feelings and experiences of the author, enjoy the beauty of the poetic images he creates and with rapture listen to the unique musicality of the beautiful poetic lines!
Thanks to the lyrics, we can understand, feel and recognize the personality of the poet himself, his mental attitude, his worldview.
For example, Mayakovsky's poem "A good attitude to horses", written in 1918. The works of this period are of a rebellious character: they hear mocking and dismissive intonations, the poet's desire to be “alien” in a world alien to him is felt, but it seems to me that behind all this lies the vulnerable and lonely soul of a romantic and maximalist.
Passionate striving for the future, the dream of transforming the world is the main motive of all Mayakovsky's poetry. Having first appeared in his early poems, changing and developing, he goes through all of his work. The poet is desperately trying to draw the attention of all people living on Earth to the problems that concern him, to wake up ordinary people who do not have high spiritual ideals. The poet encourages people to sympathize, empathize, sympathize with those who are nearby. It is indifference, inability and unwillingness to understand and regret that he denounces in the poem "Good attitude to horses."
In my opinion, no one can describe the ordinary phenomena of life as expressively as Mayakovsky, in just a few words. For example, a street. The poet uses only six words, and what an expressive picture they paint:
By the wind of the opita,
shod with ice,
the street slid.
Reading these lines, in reality I see a winter windswept street, an icy road along which a horse gallops confidently with its hooves. Everything moves, everything lives, nothing is at rest.
And suddenly ... the horse fell. It seems to me that everyone who is next to her should freeze for a moment, and then immediately rush to help. I want to shout: “People! Stop, because next to you someone is unhappy! " But no, the indifferent street continues to move, and only
behind the onlooker onlooker,
the pants that Kuznetsky came to flare,
huddled together
laughter rang out and clanged:
- The horse has fallen! -
- The horse has fallen!
Together with the poet, I am ashamed of these people indifferent to the grief of others, I understand his disdainful attitude towards them, which he expresses with his main weapon - in a word: their laughter “tinkles” unpleasantly, and the rumble of voices is like a “howl”. Mayakovsky opposes himself to this indifferent crowd, he does not want to be a part of it:
Kuznetsky laughed.
I'm the only one
his voice did not interfere with his howl.
Came up
and see
horse eyes ...
Even if the poet ended his poem with this last line, he, in my opinion, would have said a lot. His words are so expressive and weighty that any person would see bewilderment, pain and fright in the "horse's eyes". I would have seen and helped, because it is impossible to pass by when the horse has
for a drop of a drop
rolls in the face,
hiding in wool ...
Mayakovsky turns to the horse, comforting her, as he would comfort a friend:
Horse, don't.
Horse, listen -
why do you think that you are worse than them?
The poet affectionately calls her "baby" and says piercingly beautiful words filled with a philosophical meaning:
we are all a bit of a horse,
each of us has a different horse.
And the encouraged animal, believing in its own strength, takes on a second wind:
horse
rushed,
got to her feet,
rzhanula
and went.
At the end of the poem, Mayakovsky no longer denounces indifference and selfishness, he ends it life-affirming. The poet seems to say: "Do not give in to difficulties, learn to overcome them, believe in your strength, and everything will be fine!" And it seems to me that the horse hears him:
She wagged her tail.
Red-haired child.
Cheerful came
stood in the stall.
And everything seemed to her -
she is a foal
and it was worth living
and the work was worth it.
I was very excited about this poem. It seems to me that it cannot leave anyone indifferent! I think that everyone should read it thoughtfully, because if they do this, then there will be much fewer selfish, angry and indifferent people to the misfortune of others on Earth!

How do I feel about Mayakovsky's poetry

I, the flusher and the water truck ...

V.V. Mayakovsky.

Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky once admitted that he was one of those eccentrics who love poetry more than any other art, and experience the greatest joy when they meet some special turn, rhyme or pause. I do not belong to a society of such eccentrics (if only because I really love music), but I also like good, light, melodic poetry.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky was a great innovator in versification, although he could not master his theory, as he himself wrote. And recently I found out that his literacy was "lame". And yet, reading many of his works, one is involuntarily amazed at the talent of this man. He has a great flair for language, he skillfully knew how to create new, very expressive words: "bronzes many pounds", "leaden" and many others. And how many winged expressions created by him have entered our language: "thousands of tons of verbal ore", "the rough language of a poster", "brought a textbook gloss", etc.

I think that Mayakovsky will not completely leave our literature, will not be completely forgotten, as it already happened with many writers of the twenties and thirties. After all, Mayakovsky's satire is still very relevant. For example, here is just one quote from his poem "Bribe-takers":

attached

small fry,

by the scout ...

Everyone is in place:

the bride in the trust,

godfather in gum,

brother to the People's Commissariat ...

He took literally

"brotherhood of peoples"

like the happiness of brothers,

and sisters.

Are there too few today who have literally understood "democracy", "market", "self-financing"?

But thinking about the place of Mayakovsky in our literature, in life, you involuntarily notice that in many ways he was inferior as a poet to such masters (who were persecuted for a long time in one way or another) like Yesenin, Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Pasternak and others. In one of his novels, Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote that Mayakovsky's poems are mostly unaesthetic, rude, far from real art. One cannot but agree with this. Here in his very famous "textbook" poem, he writes: "And the rain is thick as a tourniquet." But the rain is a little rain. And there are a great many such inaccuracies. Mayakovsky's trouble is not even that he turned, in the words of S. Yesenin, into a "staff painter" who sings about traffic jams in Mosselprom. The most important thing that deprives this poet today of the right to be among the leaders is his political orientation, the fact that he devoted his work to the exaltation of the system, which brought only misfortune to our people. In this sense, he is, indeed, a "sewer and water carrier". Vladimir Vladimirovich extols violence in every possible way, justifies any cruelty. But he could not know that personality is nothing, its rights can be neglected in every possible way. “One is nonsense, one is zero!” He exclaims.

We were taught from childhood that literature and art should serve only lofty goals, only good. And it is right. Therefore, forever an eternal reproach and shame will fall on Mayakovsky and many others, who wrote "at the direction of the party," that they served an unkind, cruel system. But it would be wrong to write off this poet completely from the literature. Let him take his real place.

Every person is familiar with the poetry of Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky. The attitude to his work is different for everyone, someone understands and accepts him, and someone cannot even figure out what his poems are about. However, I would like to note that Stalin liked his poetry: “Mayakovsky, has always been and remains the best and most talented poet of our Soviet era. I consider indifference to his memory and work to be a crime. " In Mayakovsky's poems, the theme of revolution is often heard, he fights the bureaucracy, exposes and ridicules the bourgeoisie. At one time he joined the Bolshevik Party, accepted the revolution and believed that poetry should help the state. In the works of Mayakovsky there are many new words, poetic forms. He often broke lines, for which he was accused by many. So, for example, in the poem "Left March":

Will the eagle's eye fade?

Shall we stare at the old?

at the throat of the world

proletariat fingers!

If Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky had not divided the lines like this, the poem would not have sounded like a march, and there would have been completely different sensations!

Mayakovsky's poems sound like a slogan, an appeal, they always leave vivid memories.

He always speaks directly about everything, sometimes even rudely:

And if today to me, a rude Hun,

you will not want to grimace in front of you - and now

I will laugh and happily spit,

spit in your face

I - the priceless words spender and mot.

Mayakovsky's poetry is incomparable with anything, it is bright, original, unique. He denied everything old and created his own, new. This is what I like the work of the great poet Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky. And the poet himself for many, as well as for me, is associated with the revolution.
