Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet (or rather, Fet) was born on December 5, 1820, lived a long life and died in 1892. This is an unusual and definitely a great Russian poet.
Distinctive features of Fet's poetry
Fet's poems have always been associative. But it was a special association. In the logical chain, he made omissions, which made his associative connections incomprehensible to an unprepared reader. Fet's poetry was considered difficult, obscure. All because he tried to speak with his soul, not in text, to convey his images on a subconscious level. The poet spoke of such feelings, which, in his opinion, did not need words.
Another characteristic feature is musicality. All Fet's works are permeated with sounds. For this feature, he was often attacked by parodists. In those years it was fashionable to make parodies of poets' poems. And Fet suffered from such ridicule most of all, but nevertheless he did not cheat on himself.
To whom the poem “I won’t tell you anything” is dedicated
1885. The poet is mortally ill and understands that his life will soon end. He thinks more and more about his life. And this is how he writes this poem. Dedicates it to Mary. But which one?
Before analyzing the poem "I won't tell you anything", you should understand the background and go back to the poet's younger years.
Two Marys. Tragedy and family life
During his military service, Athanasius falls passionately in love with Maria Lizich. Their romance continues for two years. But both he and she are poor. Fet understands that under such circumstances he cannot tie the knot with his beloved. He is transferred to serve in another place, and they part. Two days after leaving, Athanasius learns that his beloved died under rather strange circumstances, she burned to death in her own room.
According to one version, Maria set herself on fire. According to another legend, Mary accidentally dropped a candle on her dress while rereading letters from her lover. The dress caught fire, and the girl could not put out the fire. And before her death, she shouted from the balcony to save Fet's letters.
The poet suffered the loss for a long time and even blamed himself for the girl's death. After all, if he had married her, had he been with her, this would not have happened.
In 1857 the poet married Maria Botkina. Many argued that on his part it was a marriage of convenience. However, their family life was by no means unhappy. The husband's wife idolized and cared for him. The poet appreciated the feelings and support of his wife. But, of course, his first, tragic love still lived in his memory.
Analysis of the poem "I won't tell you anything" by A. A. Feta
This poem is dedicated to two Marys at once: and the deceasedbeloved, and current wife.
In it, he simultaneously confesses his love to Maria Lizich, and does not dare to tell Maria Botkina that for almost thirty years of their life together he loved another. The poet seems to be trying to assure her that everything is fine, but in fact he is still haunted by the old pain.
When analyzing the poem “I won’t tell you anything”, you can clearly see how the poet compares his memories with the scent of flowers, and it is they, this ephemeral love of his, that give him strength, the feeling that he lives a full life. And the author wants to take this secret with him. However, Maria has known everything for a long time and sympathizes with the poet, perhaps that is why she takes care of him with a vengeance and indulges all his whims, if only the beloved person smiles at least sometimes.
When analyzing the poem “I won't tell you anything”, one should also not forget how the poet did not trust the words. His phrase that he will not say anything means not only that he hides his true feelings from his wife. This also suggests that he believes that the fullness of feelings, the movements of the soul cannot be conveyed in the language of words. This is the thought that runs like a red thread through all his lyrics. “Silently I repeat” - this oxymoron is only confirmation that all the feelings of the soul cannot be expressed in words.
The poem is built on a mirror principle - the beginning and end consists of the same lines. When writing, the author used a three-foot anapaest with a cross rhyme.
Analysis of the poem can end with the fact that the poet never said anythingdirectly. He did not agree. He didn't even make it clear what he was shivering from - from the joy of memories, from the cold of the night, or from something else. Only the main idea is clear - the pain is still alive and feelings cannot be expressed in words.
