For many years, A. S. Pushkin. Philosophical lyrics are present in almost every of his works, although this is a rather diverse poet who is interested in many topics. Alexander Sergeevich wrote poems on civic and love themes, raised questions about friendship, the poet's mission, and described the beauty of Russian nature. But still, a thread of philosophy runs through all his poems, they make the reader think about good and evil, the meaning of human life, faith and unbelief, death and immortality.
Pushkin's philosophical lyrics strike everyone with their originality. Poems are deeply intimate, personal in nature, because every feeling belonged to the poet, he described his own thoughts, impressions of life. It is this fact that distinguishes the lyrics of Alexander Sergeevich from other authors. As the poet grows older, his works change, they appeardifferent meaning. From the poems you can find out how Pushkin lived in different years.
Philosophical lyrics of the period when the poet was still a lyceum student, imbued with the spirit of fun. Alexander Sergeevich calls to have fun in the company of friends, enjoy friendly feasts and not worry about anything. You can learn about his youthful thoughts from the poem "Anacreon's Coffin", written in 1815, the poem "Stans to Tolstoy" (1819). The poet preaches pleasure and entertainment.
Philosophical motives in Pushkin's lyrics changed dramatically in the 20s. Like all young people of that period, Alexander Sergeevich was drawn to romanticism. The poet bowed before Byron and Napoleon, the goal of life was no longer a senseless waste of time at friendly feasts, but to accomplish a feat. The heroic impulses of the soul could not but be reflected in the philosophical lyrics of the author. The most striking works of that period are the elegy "The daylight went out", written in 1820, and the poem "To the sea" in 1824.
In the mid-20s, Pushkin experienced an ideological crisis. The philosophical lyrics of that period are no longer imbued with romanticism, it is being replaced by realism. The poet begins to understand the harsh truth of life, and it frightens him. He sees the problems, but does not see the goal to strive for. In the work “The Cart of Life”, Alexander Sergeevich compares life with an ordinary horse-drawn cart, it rides without stopping, days and nights on end, the beginning of the trip seems joyful and bright, but the end -sad and dark. The poet's fighting spirit broke down after the defeat of the Decembrists, Pushkin felt guilty before his friends, because he could not take part in the uprising against the tsarist regime.
By the end of the 1920s, the despair and loneliness that Pushkin experienced at that time can be traced in the poems. The philosophical lyrics of the poet over the years became more sad and even tragic. In the poems “A gift in vain, a gift random”, “Elegy”, “Do I wander along the noisy streets” there are questions of life and death, the author considers what will happen after he is gone from this mortal earth. But this does not mean that Alexander Sergeevich wished for death, he wanted to live in order to carry his creativity to people, to guide people on the true path. He firmly believed that by the end of his life he would be able to find happiness and harmony.
