Introduction

Nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for poets and musicians, writers and artists. The landscape is often in tune with the mood, feelings of a person. These feelings, sensations, experiences are difficult, sometimes impossible to convey, but they can be expressed in poetry. Native nature is familiar to every person, but not everyone is able to discern its beauty. Poets differ from us in that they are able to see the new and the extraordinary in the familiar and the ordinary. Poets, observing the phenomena of nature, convey their attitude, mood, state of mind. Homeland, home, childhood home, native nature - these concepts are inextricably linked.

There is a tree in Russia, the image of which is dear to the heart of every Russian person; it has long become a symbol of our Motherland, the embodiment of the purity and beauty of the Russian soul.And how many songs and poems are dedicated to this beauty. Two completely different poets turned to the image of a birch and sang in their poems: Afanasy Fet, a poet of the 19th century, and Sergei Yesenin, a poet of the 20th century.

Comparative analysis of poems by A. A. Fet "Sad birch ..." and S. Yesenin "Birch"

1. Biographies of A. A. Fet and S. A. Yesenin

Let us compare S. Yesenin's poem "Birch" with "Sad Birch" by A. Fet. For a better understanding of the differences in the work of poets, let's get acquainted with their biography.

Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet (real name Shenshin) (1820-1892) was born on December 5 in the estate of Novoselki, Oryol province.His father was a wealthy landowner A. Shenshin, his mother was Carolina Charlotte Feth, who came from Germany. The parents were not married. The boy was recorded as the son of Shenshin, but when he was 14 years old, the legal illegality of this recording was revealed, which deprived him of the privileges given to hereditary nobles. From now on, he had to bear the surname Fet, the rich heir suddenly turned into a "man without a name." Fet took it as a shame. To regain his lost position became an obsession that determined his entire life path. Subsequently, he achieved a hereditary noble rank and regained the surname Shenshin, but the literary name - Fet - remained with him forever.

Fet's childhood was both sad and good. Until the age of 14, he studied at home.Most of all, they taught and educated the surrounding nature and vivid impressions of life, brought up the whole way of peasant, rural life.The poet's house is the center of space, nature, which is depicted in his landscape lyrics. Therefore, in his verses there are frequent references to the fact that the poet contemplates nature through the window. The poet is surrounded by a special sphere, “his own space,” and this space is for him the image of his homeland.

The boy's poetic inclinations were encouraged primarily by his uncle, an educated and well-read man, a lover of poetry and history. At the age of 14, Afanasy Fet was taken to a boarding house in the city of Verro, Livonia province, where he spent three years. Later he was assigned to the private boarding school of M.P. Pogodin in Moscow to prepare for admission to Moscow University. In 1844 he graduated from the verbal department of the philosophy faculty of the university. Then he began to write poetry, and soon his first book, "The Lyrical Pantheon", was published.

In the 40-60s of the XIX century, Fet's poems were regularly published in magazines and were published in separate collections four times, enjoyed the popularity and love of many readers,

In the transfer of pictures of nature, seasons, the finest personal experiences, he achieved maximum perfection. Plunging into the world of forests, fields, birch groves, flowering gardens, observing nature in all the diversity of its constantly changing life, Fet sought and found in it a correspondence to his spiritual world, a source of moral tranquility. The poet feels - as he himself admitted in poetry - "connection" with the natural world.

To achieve his goal - to return the noble rank - in 1845 he left Moscow and entered military service in one of the provincial regiments in the south. He continued to write poetry. In 1858 he retired. He settled in the estate he bought in the Mtsensk district and became a landowner. So, managing the land and continuing to write poetry, Fet lived up to 72 years. During this time he published many collections of poems, the last of which were published annually and were called "Evening Lights". Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet died on December 3, 1892. Fet went down in the history of Russian poetry as a representative of the so-called "pure art". He argued that beauty is the artist's only goal. Nature and love were the main themes of Fet's works.

Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin (1895-1925) was born on September 21 (October 4), 1895 in the village of Konstantinovo, Ryazan province. Yesenin's parents were peasants.Yesenin's early childhood passed with his maternal grandfather and grandmother. His grandfather adhered to strict religious rules, knew the Holy Scriptures well, remembered by heart many pages of the Bible, the lives of the saints. Yesenin's grandmother knew many songs, fairy tales and ditties, and, according to the poet himself, it was she who gave the "impetus" to write his first poems - "she told fairy tales, I did not like some fairy tales with bad ends, and I reworked them in my own way. ". Yesenin loved his mother's singing. Not only at home did the future poet hear folk tunes: "Raking up hay on the mows, they sing to me the song of the mowers." Therefore, his poems are similar to smooth, calm folk songs. The boy lived freely and carefree. He was not familiar with the early hardships of labor. Since childhood, the poet was surrounded by native nature. “There was nothing remarkable about our Konstantinov. It was a quiet, clean village surrounded by gardens. Our floodplains are wide and beautiful. There is such a wide area around. In the distance, forests turn blue in the haze, the air is clean and transparent, ”he wrote.Here, on Ryazan land, he saw and fell in love with all the beauty of Russian nature, which he sang in his poems.The ability to paint pictures of Russian nature is one of the strongest sides of Sergei Yesenin's talent.

Sergei began to write poetry early, at the age of nine, but conscious creativity began at the age of 16-17.Yesenin studied at the Konstantinovsky Zemstvo School, then at the Spas-Klepikovsky School, which trains rural teachers. There he began his creative career, which took place under the strong influence of folk poetry, the poems of Koltsov, Nekrasov and the so-called "peasant" poets (I. Nikitin, I. Surikov).The nature of central Russia, the Russian countryside, folklore, Russian classical literature had a tremendous impact on the development of the young poet's natural talent.

After leaving school, the poet went to Moscow. There he soon began to attend a literary and musical circle named after I. Surikov. From that time on, Yesenin gradually became a famous poet, who with all his heart, tenderly and touchingly loves life. All of Yesenin's work is permeated with spiritual harmony: poems about the homeland, about love, about nature and about animals. The richness of the artist's verbal painting helps us to feel the beauty and power of nature.

So, the poets are 70 years apart. Fet grew up in a manor house. Yesenin is a "peasant son". This means that they spoke different languages, looked at the world in different ways. Fet and Yesenin represent two traditional ways: a noble estate and a peasant hut. All this was reflected in their poems.

1. Analysis of the artistic image of a birch

1. Variety of visual means

Let us analyze the artistic image of a birch in S. Yesenin's poems "Birch" and "Sad Birch" by A. Fet: by what means it is created, what emotional color it differs, how the author's position is expressed.

A. Fet

Sad birch

By my window

And at the whim of the frost
It is disassembled.

Like bunches of grapes

The ends of the branches hang, -

And joyful to look at
All funeral attire.

I love the game of the day
I notice on her,

And I'm sorry if the birds
Shake off the beauty of the branches.

1842

S. Yesenin
Birch

To create a certain mood, both poets use all the variety of pictorial and expressive means: comparison, metaphor, epithets, personification.

Yesenin's poem is more figurative, it has more personifications, epithets. It is more colorful. Colors are called: white, silver, gold. The mention of dawn is reminiscent of a scarlet color. The epithets in Fet's poem do not paint, but convey sensations. It has a more complex sentence structure - inversion. Yesenin uses mostly simpler sentences.Fet strives for an archaic poetic syllable (branches, stall ), Yesenin's words are common, simple, natural (branches, dawn). The words "branches", "box", characteristic of the style of the 19th century and the style of Fet himself, give the sound of the verse pomp and solemnity.

2.2. Emotional coloring of poems

Consider what mood each poem is imbued with?

Fet has a mood of sadness and joy (change of mood).

Sad birch

Funeral outfit

It's a pity

Nice to look at.

For Yesenin, this is calmness and tranquility, fascination with the winter landscape.

Sleepy silence

Walking lazily around.

Both poets begin their poem with an adjective defining the noun birch. Yesenin has “white” - a color epithet. Fet has “sad” - an epithet for a subjective assessment.It is very important that it is with these epithets that the disclosure of the artistic image of the winter birch begins, because each word of the poet carries a certain semantic load.

In the old days, white was identified with the divine. In ancient monuments, the adjective white denoted participation in God: a white angel, white robes, white robes of the saints. The image of a white birch evokes a feeling of joy, radiant light, purity, and the beginning of a new life. She appears before us light, graceful, blinding whiteness.

Embodying the epithet "sad" at the same time conveys the mood of the birch. The poet calls her snowy decoration: "funeral dress" (this name supports the emotional tone of the image, given by the epithet "sad").The most surprising thing, perhaps for a modern reader, is why white is a mourning color, because it is more customary to associate mourning with black. Perhaps in the middle of the 19th century (and the poem was written in 1842), it was more traditional to perceive the deceased in a shroud - a funeral dress, and he, as a rule, is white. And yet this outfit is "joyful for the look" of the poet.

Fet's birch is just a beautiful tree.Yesenin creates, as it were, a living image of a birch, in many ways similar to a woman. Fet's birch is torn apart by the whim of frost, and the Yesenin birch itself covered itself with snow, as if it had dressed up. Fetovskaya birch branches have their ends hanging like bunches of grapes. It is motionless - the poem conveys only the movement of light ("the game of the day") and birds that are about to "shake off the beauty of the branches." Probably, it is precisely because of the stiffness of frost that the beautiful birch is sad. And at the Yeseninskaya - on the fluffy branches with a snowy border, brushes with a white fringe blossomed (a comparison from village life: a birch, as if covered with a handkerchief, like a girl). This poem was written by Yesenin in 1913, when he was only eighteen years old. At this time, Yesenin lived in Moscow, his native village of Konstantinovo is far behind. And, maybe, when he draws a birch tree, he sadly remembers his native village.

Yesenin's birch is a flirtatious beauty, light, graceful. Fet's is sad, she is not happy with the winter outfit.

1. Expression of the author's position

In which poem is the lyrical hero more active, his presence more noticeable?

Fet admires the beauty of the winter landscape: "And the whole funeral attire is joyful to look at"; “I love the game of the day, I notice on it,” and it's a pity if the “beauty of the branches” - snow - falls from the tree. It turns out that the mood of the birch tree ("sad") and the emotions of the author (joy, admiration, regret, if the "funeral dress" flies around) do not coincide, they are in dynamic interaction. This poem tells more about the feelings of the author and less about the birch itself.

Yesenin, directly, does not name his feelings. But he describes in great detail the birch, its branches, and we understand that he admires and admires the birch and everything that can be seen from the window.The birch is depicted in unity with the entire world around it, in close interaction with it, and this is precisely expressed figuratively. Does Yesenin talk about the beauty of this world? Directly, literally never speaks. But the whole figurative structure of the poem represents the birch and the world around it as beautiful, and the author, obviously admiring, draws this winter beauty. His feelings are in complete harmony with the image that caused these feelings. Actually, he seeks to convey a quiet admiration for the beauty of winter nature with his small poem, which looks very similar to Fet's poem and at the same time completely different.

Conclusion

In a comparative analysis of the poems of A. Fet "Sad Birch" and S. Yesenin "Birch", we identified their similarities and differences.

What do these poems have in common?

1) An artistic image of a birch.

2) Subject. Both birches are beautiful, winter has adorned and dressed them up, the light of dawn gleams on the snowflakes.

3) The scene is under the window.

How are these works different?

1) Unique language tools.

2) Different emotional coloring of poems.

The same winter tree can be seen in different ways. Two birches - Fetovskaya and Yeseninskaya - are both similar and dissimilar at the same time. This is also because one was seen from the window of a noble estate, the other from the window of a peasant hut. Our hypothesis is confirmed that the foundations of the worldview of poets are laid already in childhood. The poets' poems reflect their inner world, the peculiarities of their attitude, all their life experience. Hence the difference in the views of their poetic embodiment.

Fetovskaya birch looks like a refined beauty, an aristocrat. The beauty did not dress herself, she was "torn apart by the whim of frost." She stands somehow lifeless, quiet, calm. So noble ladies behaved with restraint.

And what about Yesenin? It's bright, funny,young beauty. As a truly Russian beauty, she herself "covered herself with snow, like silver." She looks more like a girl-bride in a wedding dress (“white fringe”, “snow border” dress).

Each poet paints nature such as he loves most of all or which he observes at the moment.

Yesenin's poem "Birch" is a slightly sad, very beautiful and touching description of the landscape that the lyrical hero of the work admires from his window. And despite the fact that this poem is a landscape , we still see the lyrical hero himself. Yesenin with great skill conveyed a sense of admiration for his native nature, personal involvement with the whole world around him.

Afanasy Fet in his poem "Sad Birch" depicts a birch that he sees every day from the window of his room, and this winter landscape for the poet is the embodiment of the beauty and winter life of the nature of his native land. The state of the frost-bound birch corresponds as much as possible to the sad feelings and experiences of the poet.Maybe this is due to the worries about the lost nobility. That is why he is afraid that the birds will disturb the cold beauty of the birch and break the invisible spiritual connection that arose between the frozen tree and the author. It is important to note that the hero of the poem very openly expresses his feelings in relation to the described tree: "at my window", "joyful to look at," I love ... I notice "," sorry for me. "Such an attitude is not typical for landscape lyrics, that is why, probably, such a poem cannot be considered a landscape. .

These poems refer not only to different eras, but also to different types of perception of the world. In Fet's poem, the relationship between man and nature is more important for the poet, and in Yesenin's poem - the pleasure from the beauty of the world seen by the poet.

Analysis of Fet's poem "Sad birch ..."

Birch is one of the most common images of Russian landscape poetry. In addition, it is considered the most important symbol of our country. There are many popular beliefs associated with this tree, both positive and negative. According to some traditions, birch could act as a protector from evil spirits. According to other beliefs, mermaids and devils settled in its branches. In pre-Christian times, symbolism associated with birch was found not only among the Slavs, but also among the Celts, Scandinavians, Finno-Ugric peoples. In most cases, the plant was associated with the transition from spring to summer. In a broader sense, it became a symbol of death and subsequent resurrection.

The poem "Sad Birch ..." was created in 1842. It belongs to the early period of Fet's work. The work is a small landscape sketch, consisting of only three quatrains. The poet depicts a birch tree that grows under the window of the lyrical hero, while endowing it with the epithet "sad". Perhaps the choice of the adjective is due to the fact that the tree is described in winter. Deprived of leaves or earrings, it seems to die. At the same time, the lyrical hero is impressed by the mourning attire of the plant. He likes branches covered with snow. It seems that the coming of spring will not be joyful for him, when the tree will revive and take off its white dress. Most likely, it is the sad birch that is close to the lyrical hero because of his own state of mind. This gives the miniature a touch of tragedy.

The work sounds solemn, sublime, which is achieved through an accurate selection of vocabulary. Fet uses the obsolete word daydream for the last "morning star," the planet Venus. Also in the final stanza, the noun "beauty" (meaning "beauty") is used. In the first quatrain, the passive participle "disassembled" occurs.

Fet's poem is often compared with the famous work written in 1913. Both poets depict a winter birch. Only Sergei Alexandrovich has her in the form of a bride, and Afanasy Afanasyevich practically dresses her in a funeral shroud. In addition, the position of the lyrical hero is more vividly expressed in "The Sad Birch" by Fet. In Yesenin, he is indirectly present only at the beginning. What unites the two works? First of all - the endless love for the homeland, which the poets were able to convey.

Birch is rightfully considered one of the main symbols of Russia. Many songs, legends have been composed about her, poems that are deep in their lyricism have been written. Most often, birch was compared, of course, with a Russian beauty. After all, her waist is white and thin, and lush green braids, and even earrings - everything, like a country girl. The emigre writers who found themselves far from their homeland were especially homesick for Russian birches. For example, Teffi in her story "Nostalgia" wrote with pain: "Every woman here knows - if the grief is great and you need to lament - go to the forest, hug the birch tree and swing with it, come out with tears all with it, with the white, with my own, with a Russian birch tree! " Therefore, the birch accompanied the Russian people in sorrow and in joy. So on Trinity, one of the most famous and beloved church holidays, a young birch tree symbolized the power of the awakening earth, therefore, the house was decorated with its branches inside and outside, especially carefully laying the branches behind the icons and behind the window frames. Before the holiday, the birch was "curled", i.e. the branches were plaited and twisted with a wreath, and then they hung beads, ribbons, scarves on it. Directly on the feast of the Trinity, they danced around the birch tree, and then "developed" it and drowned it in a pond so that it would give all its strength to the first shoots in the fields and contribute to the well-being of people.

Since Trinity is celebrated in the summer, the longing for this joyful warm season obviously begins in winter. Perhaps that is why the Russian poet of the 19th century Afanasy Fet wrote a poem about a birch, but already in the title he endowed it with an epithet "sad"... Naturally, in winter she no longer has earrings, green braids, and the white trunk merges with white snow.

Why is Fet's birch sad? Perhaps because "she was torn apart by a whim of frost", that is, in fact, it depends on external elemental forces, and the form of the passive communion perfectly emphasizes this doom. On the other hand, the word "disassembled" usually used in relation to someone who shines with outfits. Involuntarily, the image of a magnificent beauty arises, just in the style of the 19th century. Therefore, in the first stanza of Fet's poem, some surprise is heard: the winter birch is sad, but at the same time elegant.

In the second stanza, the poet's joy grows, because the branches of the winter birch remind him of grapes, and this comparison, at first glance, seems inappropriate in winter. The impression is enhanced by the oxymoron "the whole funeral attire is joyful to look at"... How is this possible? Is mourning compatible with joy? The most surprising thing, perhaps for a 21st century reader, is why white is a mourning color, because it is more customary to associate mourning with black. Perhaps in the middle of the 19th century (and the poem was written in 1842), it was more traditional to perceive the deceased in a shroud - a funeral dress, and he, as a rule, is white. And yet this outfit "pleasing to the eye" poet.

In the last stanza, the play of the light of the morning dawn ( "day girls") so revives the birch that the poet is afraid of any changes in it and does not want the birds to shake the snow from its branches. Then she will lose the charm of the charm of sadness, and the hero will no longer experience the range of feelings that he has already experienced. It is important to note that the hero of the poem very openly expresses his feelings in relation to the described tree: "at my window", "pleasing to the eye"(it is clear, after all, whose look is meant), "love ... I notice", "I'm sorry"... Such an attitude is not typical for landscape lyrics, therefore, probably, such a poem cannot be considered a landscape. Rather, it is an expression of feelings, experiences, which is more characteristic of an elegy.

In conclusion, it remains to add that the words "branches", "day girl", characteristic of the style of the XIX century and the style of Fet himself, are already archaic in our time, but they give the sound of the verse a pomp and solemnity.

First of all - the endless love for the homeland, which the poets were able to convey.

It is necessary to read the poem "The Sad Birch" by Fet Afanasy Afanasievich, remembering that he belongs to the first samples of the poet's pen. Despite this, sad intonations already prevail in it, which will permeate almost all of Fet's future masterpieces.

The main image of the work is the tree-symbol of Fet's homeland - birch. The white-trunked beauty not only reflects the mood of the lyrical hero, she supports and consoles him with her presence. The author speaks with love about the birch, even the funeral attire of the tree makes him happy. The entire text of Fet's poem "Sad Birch" is devoted to the description of the tree, through which the author conveys his emotions. To express the mood, he is limited to two words with the theme "sadness" - "sad" and "mourning", but they are quite enough to convey the main idea to the reader.
