Lyrics by A. A. Fet gives the reader an intoxicating artistic pleasure. L. Tolstoy was surprised that a fat, seemingly quite prosaic person possesses incredible lyrical audacity. One of the amazingly powerful poems written by A. Fet: "This morning, this joy …". It will be analyzed below.
Feta Estate
In 1857 in Paris, A. Fet married a we althy middle-aged ugly girl - Maria Petrovna Botkina. Her father gave his daughter a large dowry, which markedly improved the financial condition of Afanasy Afanasievich. Three years later, he bought the Stepanovka farm and two hundred acres of land. He managed successfully, increased his wife's fortune, and in 1877 moved to the old picturesque Vorobyovka estate in the Shchigrovsky district near Kursk and made it the home of his muse.
In this estate, as he himself believed, the long dream of his poetry was interrupted. It was in Vorobyovka with a beautiful park that the lines "This morning, this joy …" (Fet) were supposedly written in 1881. The history of creation is dark. Usually his poems were born onintuition, he consciously sought to convey not a thought, but a mood to the reader. Subtly recorded his momentary state, his ecstatic delight A. Fet: "This is morning, this joy …". We will analyze the poem a little later.
A few words about the poet's work
The appearance of A. Fet was completely shaped by service in the army when he sought the rank of nobility. It was a paradoxical state of the practitioner and the poet, of intuitiveness and rationality. He himself wrote that his poetic techniques are intuitive. His life, however, always kept in tight rein and therefore developed introspection to the extreme. He would not allow himself to take a single step in life without all-round reflection.
According to the definition of critics of his time, the peculiarity of his poetry is musical in nature, and therefore poetry is often resolved "straight into music, into melody." Bowing to Schopenhauer, whom Fet translated, the poet wrote that in poetry he values little reason compared to "unconscious instinct (inspiration), the springs of which are hidden from us." Sounds, colors, fleeting impressions are the themes of the poet's work. He sought to reflect the universe in its variability.
Analysis of the poem "This morning, this joy…"
This work is unique in Russian poetry. The stormy awakening of nature after a long winter is described in one sentence and only by demonstrative pronouns (anaphora) and nouns: “This is morning, this joy …” (Fet). The composition divides it into three stanzas according to the semantic content, and nothere are no ideas, except that the long-awaited spring has come.
In the first stanza, the morning is raging, in the second stanza the poet embraces everything around him, in the third there is a transition from evening to a bewitching and sleepless night.
Let's look at the poem in detail
What did Fet say in the first stanza: “This morning, this joy…”? The analysis shows that the poet looked up and saw an impossible blue sky, the power of light and the coming clear, not twilight morning. Then comes the soundtrack. We hear a cry, which the poet specifies with the words "strings" and "flocks". Finally, the birds appear. Suddenly we shift our attention down - we heard the “talk of the waters.”
What picture does Fet paint in the second stanza: “This is morning, this joy…”. An analysis of her lines is a look after the poet, who examines everything that stands nearby around: birches, willows, which ooze with tears of joy.
There are no leaves on the trees yet, only their fluff is outlined. And the gaze rushes into the distance, where there are mountains and valleys, and returns back, noticing small midges, and then large bees. The verbal nouns "tongue" and "whistle", as in the first stanza, complete the picture with the sounds of nature. Fet's poem "This morning, this joy …" is filled with pagan delight in front of the beauty of the world. He is as big as the sky and mountains, and as small as fluff and midges.
The third stanza is the transition of evening into night, but also slowly and indefinitely, like everything done by nature itself. The "dawns without an eclipse" last, the "night without sleep" lasts, which is filled with haze and heatbed.
The night sigh of the village is heard in the distance, a beautiful metaphor that conveys the quiet sounds of the night. And then, as if on a drum, loud shots and trills of nightingales sound, which make it impossible to sleep on this magical night. He is the eternal companion of spring and love.
The work is written in four-foot trochee, where each last line is incomplete. Short lines "rush" each other, hurrying to tell about the beauty of awakening nature. Fet's poem "This morning, this joy.." completes the significant word to which the entire poem is dedicated - spring.
