1. Fet is one of the wonderful Russian landscape painters. Russian nature appears in all its beauty in his poems in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. So, however, only in Fet we will find a description of different times of the day, elusive, transitional states.

2. Fet depicts nature in much more detail than his predecessors. These descriptions contain not only feelings, but also excellent knowledge of natural life.

3. If Nekrasov’s nature is connected with human labor, then Fet’s nature is an object of artistic delight and aesthetic pleasure. Fet wrote: “A poet is one who sees in an object something that no one else would see without his help.”

4. It has long been noticed that Fet’s work gravitates towards impressionism. Impressionism as an artistic movement arose in the art of painting in France. Its representatives are such artists as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Auguste Renoir. Impressionism derived from French word, meaning impression. In painting of this direction, objects are drawn not in full and concretely, but in unexpected lighting, from some unusual side, the way they appeared to the artist in his individual view.

Parallel to impressionism in painting, something similar arose in literature, in poetry, both Western and Russian. Fet became one of the first impressionists in Russian poetry. Impressionism in poetry - This is an image of objects not in their integrity, but in instantaneous, random snapshots of memory. The object is not so much depicted as recorded. These fragments of phenomena, taken together, form an unexpectedly complete and psychologically reliable picture.

The impressionist is interested not the object, but the impression produced by the object. The outside world is depicted as it seemed to the poet. With all the truthfulness and concreteness of the depicted nature, it seems to dissolve in a lyrical feeling.

5. Fet's nature is humanized, like no one else. For him, the rose smiled, the stars prayed, the birches waited, the willow was friendly with painful dreams, etc. Leo Tolstoy wrote: “And where does this good-natured fat officer get such incomprehensible lyrical audacity, a property of great poets?”

6. The most important place belongs to Fet theme of love. The range of experiences is given with great completeness and variety. At the same time, love is, as it were, abstracted from specific conditions.

The strength of Fet's love lyrics does not lie in the psychological portrait. The images of his lyrical heroes are poor and inexpressive. Fet is interested in feelings, but not in the people experiencing them. And the feeling itself is conveyed in details, shades, nuances.

7. Another feature: conveying feelings that are not easy to define in the exact word, and those that cannot be precisely named, but can only be “inspired by the soul” of the reader. The ability to catch the elusive.

8. The musicality of Fet's lyrics. Im in Tchaikovsky admired, Varlamov wrote romances based on Fet’s poems.

9. Fet was original and word usage. Often Fet's definitions characterize not so much objects as the associations evoked by them. Contemporaries were amazed by such epithets of Fet as "ringing garden", "melting violin", "dead dreams" etc.

At the same time, the main meaning of the word is obscured, and its emotional connotation comes to the fore.

10. In Fet’s poems, the boundary between the direct and figurative meaning of the word is lost.

Fet's poetry is the poetry of moods. What are they? The main tone of Fet's lyrics is light and joyful. Enjoying beauty, love, nature, memories is always delight, rapture. He also has melancholic poems, but even in them the major tone predominates. The world is a world of sadness and suffering, and the poet sees a way out of it only in immersion in the world of beauty.

The originality of A. Fet’s lyrics (based on the article by V. P. Botkin “Poems of A. Fet”)

1. The most precious property of truly poetic talent and the surest proof of its reality and power is the originality and originality of the motives, or, in musical terms, the melodies that underlie his works.

2. There are no poems of his in the entire book, one might say. not one that was not inspired by an internal, involuntary impulse of feeling. Poetic content is, first of all, the content of one’s own soul: no one can give this to us; and the first condition of any lyric poem is that it should be experienced by the author, that it should contain what has been experienced and that this experience should evoke it...

3. ... Mr. Fet’s motives sometimes contain such subtle ones, one might say. ethereal shades of feeling. that there is no way to catch them in certain distinct features and you only feel them in that internal musical perspective that the poem leaves in the reader’s soul. (like Bees, Fantasia and many others.)

4. ...G. Fet is primarily a poet of the impressions of nature. The most significant aspect of his talent is his unusually subtle, poetic sense of nature. In this he can compete with first-class poets. Mr. Fet's poems are a touchstone for recognizing in those who read them a poetic feeling - we should add - a sense of the beauty of objects and phenomena.

5. Mr. Fet is highly gifted with this sense of beauty: he captures not the plastic reality of an object, but its ideal, melodic reflection in our feeling, namely its beauty, that light, airy reflection in which form and essence miraculously merge. its color and aroma. IN lyric poem, if its subject is an image of nature, the main thing lies not in the picture of nature itself, but in the poetic feeling that nature awakens in us; so that here nature is only an occasion, a means for expressing poetic feeling.

6. We must not forget that the vocation of poetry is, and in any case, not to be a photographically accurate depiction of nature - no art can achieve this - but to awaken our inner contemplation of nature. Only poetry is what awakens this inner contemplation. The finishing of details, of course, has an important advantage, but what in reality can be examined and grasped at one glance in the description and can only be presented in separate features and one after another. Therefore, a writer needs a great artistic gift to depict nature; great tact is needed so that individual details do not in the least obscure the contemplation of the whole, but, on the contrary, only give it beauty, color and relief for our inner contemplation. In this regard, Mr. Fet’s artistic gift and the sensitivity of his soul to nature are amazing. Most poets like to reproduce only the most powerful, effective natural phenomena; Mr. Fet, on the contrary, finds a response to the most ordinary moments that fly past us without leaving any trace in our soul - and these ordinary moments are shown by Mr. Fet in their unsuspected beauty...

7. ... Mr. Fet’s sense of nature is naive, bright, childishly joyful, can only be compared with the feeling of first love. In the most ordinary phenomena of nature, he knows how to notice the subtlest fleeting shades, ethereal halftones, inaccessible to painting and which can only be reproduced by the poetry of the word - and no other... We called the poetry of Mr. Fet intimate: in order to feel its charm, you must love nature, so to speak , family love, to love in its everyday occurrences, in its quiet, modest beauty...

8. ... G. Fet, mainly reproducing the impressions of nature on his soul, rarely goes into descriptions of nature, but, nevertheless, he knows how to draw masterfully.

9. ...Most of Fet’s poetic melodies were inspired in him in the evening or at night, and what is remarkable is that each of them has an original flavor, in each a special tone of sensations is heard. It is clear that each of these poems was actually experienced, and this best proves that each melody was not invented, but involuntarily poured out of a deeply excited feeling, and that this alone contained its main motive. G. Fet is, first of all, a poet of sensations: that is why it is so difficult to explain his poetic merits.

10. ...But we also forgot to point out the special nature of Mr. Fet’s works: they contain a sound that had not been heard before in Russian poetry - this is the sound of a bright, festive feeling of life. Whether in the pictures of nature, or in the movements of his own heart, this sound is constantly felt in him, felt. that life responds to them from its bright, clear side, in a kind of detachment from all everyday worries, responds to what is whole, harmonious, delightful in it, precisely because it is the highest bliss. Everyone is probably familiar with these fleeting feelings of life; Mr. Fet, so to speak, grasps them on the fly and makes them feel in his poetry.

) – typical example a poet leading a double life. During his student years, he, like all his peers, was expansive and open to generous ideal feelings; but later he accustomed himself to a cautious reserve that might seem (not unreasonably) to be a calculated callousness. In life, he was deliberately selfish, secretive and cynical in his judgments about the ideal impulses of those around him. He tried not to mix real life with the ideal life of a poet. Hence the strange discrepancy that amazed his contemporaries between the abstract, immaterial nature of his poems about nature and his prosaic acquisition; between his measured and orderly life in his old years and his later lyrics, imbued with passion, built on the complete and disinterested exploitation of suppressed and sublimated emotions.

Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet (1820 - 1892). Portrait by I. Repin, 1882

“Impossible,” he says in the preface to one of the volumes Evening lights, – to remain for a long time in the rarefied air of the mountain heights of poetry.” Fet erected an impenetrable partition between his two hypostases. The real one is present in some odes written to his august friends, in some second-rate epigrams - but above all in the wonderful, unusually unrevealing and yet exciting memoirs: early years of my life And My memories. Least sincere, they are one of the most carefully thought out masks ever worn by a poet fearing the stings of vulgar reality. They don't give any idea about it inner life, but are full of interesting, albeit very processed, information about others. His poetry is completely free from this superficial hypostasis.

Afanasy Fet. Poetry and fate

In art, Fet was, above all, an uncompromising defender of pure poetry. There was nothing in him eclecticism, and the main thing for him was to find an accurate expression of his poetic experience, in full agreement with the best of his contemporaries, but against the grain of the leaders of “progressive” critical thought. He rejected compromise with these latter for the sake of pure poetry. For him, poetry was the purest essence, something like rarefied air on mountain peaks - not a human home, but a sanctuary.

Among his early works there are also purely “figurative” poems written on classical subjects, which are better than poetry Maykova or Shcherbina, but not enough to call Fet the greatest poet of “art for art’s sake” of his era. The real early Fet is in the wonderful lyrics about nature and in the “melodies” that he could hardly have learned from anyone. They are very reminiscent Verlaine, except that Fet’s healthy pantheism is completely different from the painful sensitivity of the French poet. Fet developed his own style unusually early: one of his most perfect and most characteristic melodies appeared in 1842:

Storm in the evening sky
The sea of ​​angry noise -
Storm at sea and thoughts,
Many painful thoughts -
Storm at sea and thoughts,
Chorus of rising thoughts -
Black cloud after cloud,
The sea is angry noise.

Such poems, which deliberately exclude everything except the music of emotions and associations, do not seem out of the ordinary to us today. But to Russian critics of the mid-nineteenth century (not to creative artists like Turgenev, Tolstoy or Nekrasov, who were all ardent admirers of Fet) they seemed pure nonsense. Not all of Fet's early poems are as short and purely musical as Storm. There are longer, more complex and figurative dream poems, such as the amazing Fantasy(until 1847). There are also more austere, less melodious poems about a clearly Russian village landscape, and pantheistic visions, such as that wonderful poem where, lying “on a haystack at night in the south,” he looks at the stars and “... like the first inhabitant of paradise, alone in I saw the face at night.” But no description can convey the pure poetry of these poems. These poems are easier to translate than most works of Russian poetry, for the effect here is created not so much by the elusive overtones of Russian words, but by the rhythm and music of the images.

After 1863 and especially in the 80s, Fet became more metaphysical. He began to take on philosophical subjects more often and reflect on the eternal questions of artistic perception and expression. Its syntax becomes more complex and condensed, sometimes even dark, like the syntax of Shakespeare's sonnets. Highest Achievement late Fetov poetry - his love poems are undoubtedly the most extraordinary and most passionate love poems written by a seventy-year-old man (not excluding Goethe). In them, Fet's method - using only his own suppressed emotions in poetry - won a brilliant victory. They are so intense that they look like the quintessence of passion. Fet's late poems, collected in four editions Evening lights(1883–1891), are less musical than his earlier songs, but more intense, more condensed and more thoughtful. The ideal of pure poetry is achieved here by methods reminiscent of Mallarmé And Fields Valerie. These works belong to the most precious diamonds of Russian poetry. They are pure gold, without the slightest impurity. The short poems, usually no more than three stanzas, are full of poetic significance, and although their theme is passion, they really talk about creative process, extracting the pure essence of poetry from emotional raw materials.

Fet was highly valued by those who do not measure poetry on the scale of progressive citizenship. But his principles late creativity were truly assimilated and accepted only by the Symbolists, who from the very beginning recognized Fet as one of their greatest teachers.

- a poet of the nineteenth century who made a huge contribution to the development of Russian literature. Reading his works, you begin to understand the peculiarity of his work. What are they?

In poems real world idealized, endowed with special features. Thanks to his poems, we can escape from our problems, plunging into the world of beauty and wonder. All of Fet’s works are filled with feelings; he did not just write, but sang the surrounding beauty of love and nature. This is the main feature of Fet’s work. You read the poet’s works and feel the notes of different emotions and moods that evoke wonderful feelings. This is an author who tried to avoid social and political topics; he was a poet of pure art, whose works described nature and love. A subtle poetic mood is intertwined with artistic skill, allowing you to create pure poetry. Basically his works are love and landscape lyrics, and only at the end life path he resorted to philosophical lyrics. Let's take a closer look at characteristic features the writer's lyrics.

Features of Fet's love lyrics

Getting to know love lyrics Feta, we can indicate that the writer’s love is a fusion of contradictions in a harmonious unification. The peculiarity of his love lyrics is that there are no notes of drama and tragedy here. His lyrics about love sound musical and subtle with peculiar notes, where there is no love languor, no jealous torment, no passion. Here there is only a description of the beauty of this extraordinary and unearthly feeling of love. His love lyrics- these are sublimely ideal, pure, youthfully reverent poems, which, strange as it may sound, were written mainly in old age.

Features of landscape lyrics

Nature is what the poet also loved to write about. At the same time, the landscapes in the writer’s work come to life, and nature is always calm and quiet. His paintings seem to freeze, but at the same time everything around is filled with sounds, where a fidgety woodpecker knocks, a Easter cake moans or an owl. The peculiarity of landscape lyrics is that the writer endows landscapes with human properties, where the rose smiles, the stars pray, the pond dreams, and the birches wait. At the same time, the author often uses images of birds that are unusual for us. Thus, swifts, lapwings, owls, and blacklings often appear in his poems. In addition, the author does not endow nature and animals with any symbolic meaning. For him, everything is endowed only with those properties that representatives of the living world of nature possess in reality.

Fet's landscape lyrics are full of spontaneity, acute perception of nature, his landscapes are soulful, and the poems themselves are generally filled with freshness. Every line is beautiful, regardless of whether the author writes about spring or summer, or describes autumn or winter landscapes.

By the middle of the 19th century, two directions were clearly identified in Russian poetry and, polarized, developed: democratic and so-called “pure art”. The main poet and ideologist of the first movement was Nekrasov, the second - Fet.

The poets of “pure art” believed that the purpose of art is art; they did not allow any possibility of deriving practical benefit from poetry. Their poems are distinguished by the absence not only of civic motives, but also of a general connection with social issues and problems that reflected the “spirit of the times” and acutely worried their advanced contemporaries. Therefore, the “sixties” critics, condemning the poets of “pure art” for thematic narrowness and monotony, often did not perceive them as full-fledged poets. That’s why Chernyshevsky, who appreciated Fet’s lyrical talent so highly, added at the same time that he “writes nonsense.” Pisarev also spoke about Fet’s complete inconsistency with the “spirit of the times,” arguing that “a wonderful poet responds to the interests of the century not out of duty of citizenship, but out of involuntary attraction, out of natural responsiveness.”

Fet not only did not take into account the “spirit of the times” and sang in his own way, but he decisively and extremely demonstratively opposed himself to the democratic trend of Russian literature of the 19th century century.

After the great tragedy that Fet experienced in his youth, after the death of the poet’s beloved Maria Lazic, Fet consciously divides life into two spheres: real and ideal. And he transfers only the ideal sphere into his poetry. Poetry and reality now have nothing in common for him; they turn out to be two different, diametrically opposed, incompatible worlds. The contrast between these two worlds: the world of Fet the man, his worldview, his everyday practice, social behavior and the world of Fet’s lyrics, in relation to which the first world was an anti-world for Fet, was a mystery for most contemporaries and remains a mystery for modern researchers.

In the preface to the third issue of “Evening Lights,” Fet wrote, looking back at his entire creative life: “The hardships of life forced us to turn away from them for sixty years and break through the everyday ice, so that at least for a moment we could breathe the clean and free air of poetry.” Poetry was for Fet the only way to escape reality and everyday life and feel free and happy.

Fet believed that a real poet in his poems should sing first of all of beauty, that is, according to Fet, nature and love. However, the poet understood that beauty is very fleeting and that moments of beauty are rare and brief. Therefore, in his poems, Fet always tries to convey these moments, to capture a momentary phenomenon of beauty. Fet was able to remember any transient, momentary states of nature and then reproduce them in his poems. This is the impressionism of Fet's poetry. Fet never describes a feeling as a whole, but only states, certain shades of feeling. Fet's poetry is irrational, sensual, impulsive. The images of his poems are vague, vague; Fet often conveys his feelings, impressions of objects, and not their image. In the poem “Evening” we read:

Sounded over the clear river,

It rang in a darkened meadow,

Rolled over the silent grove,

It lit up on the other side...

And what “sounded”, “ringed”, “rolled” and “lit” is unknown.

On the hill it is either damp or hot, The sighs of the day are in the breath of the night, - But the lightning already glows brightly with blue and green fire... This is only one moment in nature, a momentary state of nature, which Fet managed to convey in his poem. Fet is a poet of detail, of a separate image, so in his poems we will not find a complete, holistic landscape. Fet has no conflict between nature and man; the lyrical hero of Fet's poetry is always in harmony with nature. Nature is a reflection of human feelings, it is humanized:

Smoothly at night from the brow

Soft darkness falls;

There's a wide shadow from the field

Huddling under the nearby canopy.

I'm burning with thirst for light,

The dawn is ashamed to come out,

Cold, clear, white,

The bird's wing trembled...

The sun is not yet visible

And there is grace in the soul.

In the poem “Whisper. Timid breathing..." the world of nature and the world of human feeling turn out to be inextricably linked. In both of these “worlds” the poet highlights barely noticeable, transitional states, subtle changes. Both feeling and nature are shown in the poem in fragmentary details, individual strokes, but for the reader they form a single picture of the date, creating a single impression.

In the poem " Bright light a fire is burning in the forest…” the narrative unfolds in parallel on two levels: externally landscape and internally psychological. These two plans merge, and by the end of the poem, only through nature does it become possible for Fet to talk about his internal state lyrical hero. A special feature of Fet's lyrics in terms of phonics and intonation is its musicality. The musicality of verse was introduced into Russian poetry by Zhukovsky. We find excellent examples of it in Pushkin, Lermontov, and Tyutchev. But it is in Fet’s poetry that she achieves special sophistication:

The rye is ripening over the hot fields,

And from field to field

The whimsical wind blows

Golden shimmers.

(The musicality of this verse is achieved by euphony.) The musicality of Fet's poetry is also emphasized by the genre nature of his lyrics. Along with the traditional genres of elegies, thoughts, and messages, Fet actively uses the romance-song genre. This genre determines the structure of almost the majority of Fetov’s poems. For each romance, Fet created his own poetic melody, unique to him. The famous 19th century critic N. N. Strakhov wrote: “Fet’s verse has a magical musicality, and at the same time constantly varied; The poet has his own melody for every mood of the soul, and in terms of the richness of melodies no one can equal him.”

Fet achieves the musicality of his poetry both by the compositional structure of the verse: a ring composition, constant repetitions (for example, as in the poem “At dawn, don’t wake me up...”), and by an extraordinary variety of strophic and rhythmic forms. Fet especially often uses the technique of alternating short and long lines:

Dreams and shadows

Dreams,

Tremblingly alluring into the darkness,

All stages

Euthanasia

Passing in a light swarm...

Fet considered music to be the highest of the arts. For Fet, the musical mood was an integral part of inspiration. In the poem “The Night Shined...” the heroine can express her feelings, her love only through music, through a song:

You sang until dawn, exhausted in tears,

That you alone are love, that there is no other love,

And I wanted to live so much, so that without making a sound,

To love you, hug you and cry over you.

The poetry of “pure art” saved Fet’s poetry from political and civil ideas and gave Fet the opportunity to make real discoveries in the field of poetic language. Fet's ingenuity in strophic composition and rhythm has already been emphasized by us. His experiments were bold in the field of grammatical construction of poetry (the poem “Whisper. Timid Breathing...” is written in only nominal sentences, there is not a single verb in it), in the field of metaphors (it was very difficult for Fet’s contemporaries, who took his poems literally, to understand, for example, metaphor of “the grass in weeping” or “spring and night covered the valley”).

So, in his poetry, Fet continues the transformations in the field of poetic language begun by the Russian romantics early XIX century. All his experiments turn out to be very successful, they continue and are consolidated in the poetry of A. Blok, A. Bely, L. Pasternak. The variety of forms of poems is combined with a variety of feelings and experiences conveyed by Fet in his poetry. Despite the fact that Fet considered poetry to be an ideal sphere of life, the feelings and moods described in Fet's poems are real. Fet's poems do not become outdated to this day, since every reader can find in them moods similar to the state of his soul at the moment.
