The theme of love in modern poetry (On the example of the work of E. A

A.S. Pushkin

The theme of creativity, the purpose of the poet and poetry occupies a leading place in the works of Pushkin. Your idea of ​​the ideal image poet A.S.P. embodied in a poem Prophet". The poet gives his interpretation of the biblical story. Depicts spiritual transformation, the formation of a poet-prophet. Through painful transformations, the poet acquires wisdom, truth. For the word to be true, the poet must go through suffering. Poem "I erected a monument to myself..."- a poetic generalization by the poet himself of the meaning of his creativity, a poetic testament. The poem reveals the main features of A.S.P.'s poetry: nationality, humanism and love of freedom.

In a poem “On the hills of Georgia lies the darkness of the night…” love appears as a source of new experiences and inspirations. The impulse of love is consonant not so much with the tranquility of the night as the sound of the river. Poem "I remember a wonderful moment..." is a poetic autobiography. The meeting with the beloved woman helped the lyrical hero, whose image correlates with the author, to comprehend the beauty of life again and caused poetic inspiration. A.S.P. comes to understand love as the highest value of a person, capable of awakening inspiration and the best human feelings in a poet.

In a poem "I visited again..." sounds philosophical reflection on the meaning of life, about the connection of generations, about memory. The poet understands that the answer lies in the harmony of nature and time moves inexorably forward. He sums up his reflections on the meaning of life and at the same time speaks of the future, expresses his affirmation of life, its unchanging cycle.

S.A. Yesenin

elegy " I do not regret, do not call, do not cry…"- philosophical reflection on life and death, about the perishability of all things, farewell to youth. The image of the “pink horse” symbolizes unrealizable dreams of beauty. The poem also says gratitude theme that "came to flourish and die."

In a poem on theme of love“A blue fire was swept…” reality and a dream, ruined life and the possibility of renewal are contrasted. For the sake of love, the lyrical hero not only renounces the past, but is even ready to forget his native distances, to abandon his poetic vocation.

The theme of the fate of Russia, the theme of the motherland sounds in poetry “I am the last poet of the village…”, Goy you, Russia, my dear…” and others. Dialect words help create a special flavor and express love for the motherland nature. In the poem "Rus" the poet managed to express everything painfully dear, joyful and sad, with which the concept of the motherland, the Russian land, is connected for him. In a poem "The golden grove dissuaded ..." the state of nature reflects the state of mind of the lyrical hero. The poet creates a bright, colorful and multicolored natural world, filled with play of colors and exquisite shades. The lyrical hero of the poem admires "the wide moon over the blue pond", "the fire of the red mountain ash". He feels himself an integral part of nature.

A.A. Blok

Russia Theme- the main one in Blok's poetry. The image of Russia is multifaceted. Poem "Rus" it is read as a confession of a lyrical hero, his spiritual throwing. The secret of Russia is seen by the author in the living soul of the people. The attitude towards the motherland is expressed in a very peculiar way in the cycle "On the Kulikovo field”, which is dedicated to understanding the historical fate of Russia. And this fate is tragic. The swiftly racing steppe mare becomes its symbol. This is a symbolic perception of the unity of human life and the life of nature. The image of Russia is also intertwined with female images: “Oh, my Russia! My wife!" This is the highest degree of unity of the lyrical hero with Russia. This cycle gives rise to faith in the bright future of the motherland.

Love in Blok's verses it acquires great significance, because with it a person has a feeling of true unity with the world. In a poem "Stranger"The image of a beautiful stranger inspires faith in the bright beginning of life, transforms the poet, his poems and thoughts change. The main literary device is the antithesis. In the first part - the dirt and vulgarity of the surrounding world, and in the second - a beautiful stranger. This is Blok's protest against the cruelty of the terrible world, which turns everything that is most lofty and valuable into vulgar everyday life. beautiful lady in "Poems about the Beautiful Lady" - not only a symbol of ideal unity and harmony, she owns the secret of life balance, comprehension of the meaning of being. Message “About valor, about exploits, about glory…” has a ring composition: the first line repeats the last one. But the lyrical hero no longer thinks of valor or exploits, he is looking for at least tenderness, but does not find it either. This poem is about love. The hero experiences a passionate desire to return the love lost many years ago.

philosophical perception of life, the tragic attitude and the identification of personal fate with the fate of the motherland determine the character of the lyrical hero of Blok's poetry. In a poem "Night, street, lamp, pharmacy..." the world is devoid of harmony, music, it is insensitive, closed. The image of a gloomy street is philosophical metaphor of tragedy life. The feeling of the hopelessness of existence is enhanced by the ring composition. In the poem " The girl sang in the church choir ... " A. Blok reveals the world in all its inconsistency. On the one hand, the holiness of prayer and great sorrow. On the other hand, people are capable of such a cruel action as war.

A.A. Akhmatova

Patriotic theme, theme of the motherland (poem "Requiem") sounds in the lyrics of A.A., which forever connected her fate with the fate of her native land. “I am not with those who left the earth ...” - the author declares. Political protest against the expulsion of the color of the Russian intelligentsia is combined with the condemnation of those who voluntarily fled from Soviet Russia and the adoption of their own lot. During the years of the Second World War, Akhmatova, feeling her life as part of the people's life, writes poems that reflect the spiritual mood of the fighting Russia: "... I was then with my people, Where my people, unfortunately, were..."

A.A. often referred to subject of poetic craft. In a cycle "Secrets of the Craft" the lyric heroine says: “If only you knew from what rubbish Poems grow, knowing no shame…” This is the animation of poetic creation, and some independence of the creative process from the will of the creator. And then unexpected and at the same time justified comparisons: Like a yellow dandelion near the fence, Like burdocks and quinoa. The main purpose of poetry, according to the author, is to give people the joy of contact with the creations of high art.

B.L. Pasternak

The theme of the poet and poetry touched upon in the poem "Hamlet", where the author presents himself in the image of Hamlet. Hamlet in the work is compared with Jesus Christ: their destinies are made regardless of their will, according to God's plan. This poem also contains the theme of loneliness, misunderstanding by people around and complex relationships of the individual with society.

M. Yu. Lermontov

Comprehension of complex social and philosophical problems is characteristic of Lermontov's poetry. The main idea of ​​the poem "Thought» - reflections on the fate of generations. The author does not separate himself from his contemporaries, taking at his own expense the listed vices and losses. This testifies to the high responsibility of the poet to the present and future of his fatherland.

F.I. Tyutchev

The main theme in the poet's poetry is nature. This is a landscape-philosophical lyrics. Nature in Tyutchev's lyrics is animated, it is always in motion, often in a transitional state: between the seasons of the day, the seasons. In a poem "Even the earth looks sad..." the poet shows a barely perceptible border between winter and spring, between day and night. Rich sound writing (alliterations for hissing) creates a feeling of oscillating air, a light breeze.

N.A. Nekrasov poem "Railway"

The theme of the nature of the native land is closely intertwined with the theme of the motherland and the hard life of the people.

There is no ugliness in nature! And kochi

And moss swamps, and stumps -

All is well under the moonlight

Everywhere I recognize my dear Russia ...

As a result of the most complicated operation, an ugly, primitive creature appears, arrogant and dangerous. A scientist must be responsible for his experiment, see the consequences of his actions, understand the difference between evolutionary changes and a revolutionary invasion of life.
The problem of inhumanity and senselessness of war In M. Sholokhov's story "The Mole", the civil war caused the chieftain, who had been absent from his homeland for seven years, to kill his only son, Nikolka, without recognizing him in the red commissar.
The problem of historical memory (involvement in the course of history ) In V. Rasputin's story "Farewell to Matera", the feverish actions of people in a hurry to put an end to Matera run into the indifferent attitude of the villagers to their past, to those who lived before them on this earth. “True in memory. Whoever has no memory has no life,” says Rasputin. The main character Daria Pinigina is the embodiment of conscience, folk morality. For Daria, the value of the past is important and necessary: ​​she refuses to move from the flood zone, habitable places, her native village until the graves are moved. She cannot allow the blasphemy of soulless newcomers. For her, memory is sacred.
The narration in the poem “I was killed near Rzhev” by A. Tvardovsky is conducted on behalf of the killed nameless soldier who died in the swamps near Rzhev. Nothing remained after him, only a testament to us, descendants: “I bequeath your life”, a testament to be happy, to serve the Fatherland with honor in memory of the “warrior-brother who died in the war.”
Scientific and technological revolution and the future In the book R. Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 depicts two symbols of the "mechanization" of mankind. The first is a "mechanical dog" - cyber, designed to catch dissident "criminals". The second is modernized television, a symbol of human indifference, atrophy of the soul and intellect of the man of the future. People in this technical world have forgotten how to think. And this state leads to mental discomfort, suicides, outbursts of aggression.

The theme of the poet and poetry attracted many creators.

However, the significance of the poet in the world of art was not the same at all times. For example, in Ancient Russia it was very small: a person was considered a small, humble before God (the true Creator!) being, and in most cases the author's names were not preserved.

In the Age of Enlightenment, poets began to realize themselves as the chosen ones, the Creators, the idea of ​​the immortality of their own creations and their own became more and more significant for them.

The theme of the poet and his work is firmly entrenched in the space of Russian classical literature. It is multifaceted and presented in various aspects. This is the problem of the purpose of creativity, and the problem of the relationship between the poet and the crowd, the poet and the authorities, the problem of immortality and the greatness of the Word.

One way or another, many poets at least once, but touched on this topic in their work; it is impossible to cover it in full, we will dwell only on more significant names.

The theme of the poet and poetry is reflected in the work of A.S. Pushkin. The poem "The Prophet" is named so for a reason, because in it Pushkin writes about the poet as a prophet, who is led by the Lord himself, he fulfills the will of the Creator, this is his destiny. From above, the poet was given the power to “burn the hearts of people with a verb,” in other words, to boldly tell people the bitter truth. In the work “The Poet”, Alexander Sergeevich affirms the idea of ​​the insignificance of the poet’s life in the absence of inspiration (“Among the children of the insignificant world, perhaps he is the most insignificant of all ...”), but as soon as “the divine verb touches the sensitive ear”, the poet rises above the crowd , over black. In the poem "The Poet and the Crowd", Pushkin, in relation to the townsfolk, allows such expressions as "stupid mob", "senseless people" and "worm of the earth", thereby even more exalting the image of the poet-creator. The Creator, as it were, is separated from the people, he is alone because of his chosen one.

Another poet who also addressed the theme of the poet and poetry was M.Yu. Lermontov. His "Prophet" is, as it were, a continuation of Pushkin's "Prophet". However, if in the last poem the poet-prophet is lonely because of the greatness of his wisdom and the mission of being chosen, then the loneliness of the Lermontov prophet is explained by his pride and contempt for others. The poet became not the chosen one, but an outcast in society ("Look how naked and poor he is, how everyone despise him!"). In Pushkin, the prophet “dragged in the gloomy desert”, and, having gained a gift, he went to do the will of God, while in Lermontov, the prophet runs back “through the noisy city” to this desert of the inner world - the world of resentment and contempt.

N.A. Nekrasov in the poem "Elegy" (1876) also considers the problem of the relationship between the poet and the people, but if Pushkin and Lermontov contrasted the creator with the crowd, then Nikolai Alekseevich writes that the poet has one goal - serving the people ("I dedicated the lyre to his people…”). And until the people are happy, the poet will pursue this goal. Nekrasov affirms the values ​​​​of civic poetry, he writes about the union of the people and the poet, about the theme of the civic service of art (“You may not be a poet, but you must be a citizen” (“Poet and Citizen”)).

Another poet, in whose verses the theme of the poet and poetry is revealed, was A.A. Fet. In his work “With one push to drive the living boat ...” he writes about the poet as a chosen one with a gift that distinguishes him from other people. However, in Fet's poem there is no opposition of the poet to the crowd, like Pushkin's, there are no words about the unification of the poet and the people, like Nekrasov's, and the poet is not at all proud and lonely because of his chosenness, like Lermontov's. Fet writes only about poetry as a gift given from above, he depicts the moment of the descent of this gift to the poet and describes what the creator himself feels at this moment - the unheard-of power of the word that affects the human soul:

Whisper about what the tongue goes numb to,
Strengthen the fight of fearless hearts -
That's what the singer only the chosen one owns,
That is his sign and crown.

In Fet's work, the poet enjoys the ability to feel life in its entirety thanks to his gift.

C4, C5. The theme of the poet and poetry in the work of A.A. Blok and M.I. Tsvetaeva (essay)

Comprehending his destiny, the poet reflects on himself and his destiny, on the power and meaning of the word in the context of not only his own life, but also - at least - the literary process of his time or even culture as a whole.

"The poet goes far away..."

Meanings fill the consciousness, and many poets decide for themselves what will become their dominant theme, trying to determine the path of their development, the notorious creative evolution.

"The poet - far leads the speech ..."

Positions converge and diverge, literary criticism develops along with literature itself, and the problematic of the relationship between the poet and the crowd, the poet and criticism is exacerbated.

The 20th century opened up a new, qualitatively different understanding of poetry: Nekrasov's postulate "You may not be a poet, but you must be a citizen" is rejected, like many trends of the 19th century. “A poet in exile and doubt at the crossroads of two roads,” writes Blok. The fate of the new prophet is unknown - "what do you want, where to go?". Rhetorical questions and lexical repetition (“in exile and in doubt”) emphasize the intensity of the search for an answer to the question about the poet’s path, which follows: but - “he will see the distance”. What is it? To create - for the sake of the word itself, which becomes a symbol and, therefore, meaning, to create, connecting oneself with the heavenly world, the world of the great Creator and its laws - this is a new, but in fact an old idea that has a long tradition in culture.

The opposition "poet - crowd" is presented in Blok's poem "Poets" (1908), which deals with the opposition of the world of the artist, the poet to the values ​​of the philistine. On the "sorrowful earth" it is dreary for everyone, and "wine and passion" are the realities of both worlds. However - "at least, the poet has both braids, and clouds, and a golden meadow, but all this is inaccessible to you!"

The sarcastic address "dear reader" allows us to draw a parallel with the "newspaper reader" Tsvetaeva. “Void swallowers, newspaper readers” is another appeal to the crowd.

Tsvetaeva devoted many poems to the relationship between the poet and the crowd. In the poem "The Pied Piper", based on a German legend, the conflict between the poet and the bourgeoisie is revealed. In her we will also meet the theme of the fate of the poet and his chosenness - "poetic eclipses are not foreseen by the calendar", . Her attitude to fame was in a short “Why do I need this?”. However, the fate of poetry is more important, dearer, more significant, and that is why, back in 1913, she writes: “My poems, like precious wines, will have their turn,” referring to another traditional theme - the immortality of the poetic word.

Tsvetaeva wrote more than once that poems come true - terrible, portending evil symbols. And yet - "God preserves everything, especially the words of forgiveness and love, as his own voice."

Inspiration is “breathing a moment with a dumb soul”, “a path not foreseen by the calendar”, thirst, “dependence”, as Brodsky wrote in the Nobel lecture. The theme of inspiration - a mysterious moment, irrationally incomprehensible in the process of creativity, attracted these poets.

Where in its "production of meanings" will the speech of today's young poets lead, how the word will be refracted in the understanding of poets - God knows ...

Because - "The poet - far leads the speech ..."

1. Personality of E. A. Evtushenko.
2. The evolution of the theme of love in the poet's work.
3. Analysis of poems.
4. Lyricism and publicism of works.

It's time to save love at the very beginning from the ardent "never!", From the children's "forever!". "Don't promise!" - the trains shouted to us, “No need to promise!” the wires hummed.

The theme of love is one of the eternal themes in art and literature. Love poems of ancient Greek and Roman authors, created millennia ago, reach modern readers. This theme, changing and becoming more complex with each new historical era, has passed through the centuries, and will exist forever in prose and poetry, music and painting, until now, as long as a person knows how and can love.

E. A. Yevtushenko is one of the most popular poets of the second half of the 20th century. He was born in 1933 in the Irkutsk region, received his higher education at the Literary Institute. M. Gorky. In 1949, his independent creative activity began.

The first book, entitled Scouts of the Future, was published when the poet was only 19 years old. Since that time, collections of his poems began to appear regularly.

The name of Yevtushenko has firmly entered the literature of the last century. It is known by people of different generations, professions, representatives of various cultural and social strata. But such a popularity is connected not only with a really rare and strong talent.

the ness of the poet. An innate sense of citizenship, merged with a subtle sense of time, makes Yevtushenko's lyrics even more interesting to understand. He is sociable as a lyricist, not indifferent to what is happening around him and to the fate of the people around him, he knows how to subtly select the mood of works for a variety of readers. In addition, this is a poet who always writes in the first person and conveys non-fictional, real stories. The theme of love for this author is of great importance, because in love, as in a magic mirror, the true essence of a person is reflected. At the same time, the theme of love, passing through all the work of the poet, grows and develops with him. The first works, such as “You are great in love ...” and “It’s scary not to understand each other” are saturated with a sense of distrust of what is happening, fear that the feelings experienced by the poet will turn out to be insincere, feigned:

It's scary not to understand each other -
do not understand and embrace,
and yet, oddly enough,
but just as scary, just as scary
understand each other in everything.

However, even in the power of such dual, conflicting sensations and the fear of inflicting mental pain on himself, the lyrical hero treats his beloved with undisguised care and admiration:

And, endowed with early knowledge,
I am your tender soul
I will not offend misunderstanding
and understanding will not kill.

Over time, love for the poet is transformed, a bright and naive feeling begins to acquire a more dramatic, heavy character. The hero of the works of this stage of creativity is trying to find a way out of the clutches of everyday life, to hide from problems on the “forever embedded in the sky” bridge, but, unfortunately, this bridge remains only in dreams. Life places a heavy love burden on the poet's shoulders. The image of a beloved girl is also undergoing changes - it becomes more complicated, becoming both more tragic and more realistic. An example of such a change in the poet's worldview can be the poem "You are completely devoid of pretense ...".

The most outstanding poem of this time is "Incantation". It is original and unusual both stylistically and compositionally. The beginning addressed to the heroine is bewitching, really reminiscent of a spell or a ritual song of love:

Think of me on a spring night

think of me on an autumn night

Let me not be there with you, but somewhere outside,
as far away as in another country,
on a long and cool sheet
rest as if in the sea on your back,
surrendering to the soft slow wave,
with me, as with the sea, all alone.

The same rhyme at the end of each line gives the text a melodiousness, the monotony of the rhythm lulls and soothes the reader's thoughts. It feels like a calm sea surf, gently but inevitably rolling waves over and over again on a gentle coast.

However, at the end of the very first stanza, a feeling of tension arises, which expands with each new line to result in a final breath - a cry:

I beg you - in the quietest silence,
or under the rain, rustling in the sky,
or under the snow shimmering in the window,
already in a dream and yet not in a dream -
spring night think of me
and think of me on a summer night
think of me on an autumn night
and think of me on a winter night.

The lyrical hero of this period is still looking for solace from everyday life and everyday life, but now he is looking for him not in some deserted place, but in a quiet haven of sincere female love. One of Yevtushenko's most cruel love poems is "I fell out of love with you ... Banal denouement ...". the lyrical hero here does not feel any pity either for himself or for his beloved:

I will break the string of a cruel romance,
guitar in half - why break the comedy!

The hero is afraid of a false sense of compassion on the part of a former lover, which can destroy his peace and normal state of mind:

Being sentimental is not a weakness - a crime,
when you soften again, promise again

and you try, groaning, to put on a performance

with the stupid title "Saved Love".

The finale of the poem - on one emotional anguish - is tough, but surprisingly touching and harmonious:

No need to promise... Love is impossible.

Why lead under deceit, as down the aisle?

Vision is good until it evaporates.

It's more humane not to love when it's the end.

Our poor dog is whining to the point of insanity,

sometimes with a paw at my door, then scratching at your door.

For falling out of love, I do not apologize.

Forgive me for loving you.

Creativity Yevtushenko is multifaceted and diverse. The poet addresses the most diverse problems and themes, he sings of various images, relying on the creative heritage of A. Pushkin, N. Nekrasov, V. Mayakovsky, A. Tvardovsky.

In his works, Yevtushenko acts not only as a poet, but also as a publicist. He considers reality not only as something that gives lyrical inspiration, but also as a unity of moral and historical ties:

Yesenin, dear, Russia has changed.

But I won't say it's for the best

And I'm afraid to say that for the worse.

Yevtushenko's mature work has not lost its charm and youth, which enchants readers along with his early works.

The problem of educating love for poetry. Composition of the exam

Yevgeny Alexandrovich Yevtushenko - Soviet and Russian poet. One of the most amazing masters of the artistic word. In his works, the poet touches on a variety of topics, including political ones. “A poet in Russia is more than a poet” - perhaps everyone knows this famous line from his manifesto.

In this text, the author focuses on the problem of spiritual perfection of man. E.A. Yevtushenko invites his readers to think about the problem of poetry, its value and significance in the life of every person. Poetry is more than poetry. This term refers to everything beautiful that inspires and gives us wisdom and life experience.

With the opinion of E.A. Yevtushenko is hard to disagree. Thanks to poetry, we can express, understand and accept many things that haunt us in life. But not everyone who can write poetry is a poet. I agree with the author that it is not enough to have a conscience, intelligence, courage, to love not only your own poems, but also those of others. "There is no poet outside the people, just as there is no son without a father's shadow."

Reflecting on this topic, I would like to recall a quote from Frederico Garcia Lorca, a Spanish poet and playwright: “The poet has one mission: to animate in the literal sense - to give a soul.” Joseph Brodsky dedicated a poem to the memory of the poet, which begins with words about a legend, when, before being shot, Lorca saw the sun rise and said: "But the sun still rises ...", which may have been the beginning of the poem.

The theme of the poet and his work is firmly entrenched in the space of Russian classical literature. It is multifaceted and presented in various aspects. This is the problem of the purpose of creativity, and the problem of the relationship between the poet and the crowd, the poet and the authorities, the problem of immortality and the greatness of the Word.

One way or another, many poets at least once, but touched on this topic in their work. For example, the theme of the poet and poetry is reflected in the work of A.S. Pushkin. The poem "The Prophet" is named so for a reason, because in it Pushkin writes about the poet as a prophet, who is led by the Lord himself, he fulfills the will of the Creator, this is his destiny. From above, the poet was given the power to “burn the hearts of people with a verb,” in other words, to boldly tell people the bitter truth. In the work “The Poet”, Alexander Sergeevich affirms the idea of ​​the insignificance of the poet’s life in the absence of inspiration (“Among the children of the insignificant world, perhaps he is the most insignificant of all ...”), but as soon as “the divine verb touches the sensitive ear”, the poet rises above the crowd , over black.

In conclusion, I would like to say that no matter how a person is enriched with an “external” biography, as E.A. Yevtushenko in this text, only books can help to better understand the world, your country, other people and yourself, thereby enriching the “internal” biography.

According to the text of E. A. Evtushenko

(1) The main educator of any person is his life experience. (2) But in this concept we must include not only the "external" biography, but also the "internal" biography, inseparable from our assimilation of the experience of mankind through books.
(3) An event in Gorky's life was not only what happened in the Kashirins' dye house, but also every book he read. (4) A person who does not love a book is unhappy, although he does not always think about it. (5) His life can be filled with interesting events, but he will be deprived of no less important - empathy with what he read and understanding it.
(6) There are people who say: "I like to read ... but not poetry." (7) This is not true: a person who does not love poetry cannot truly love prose either, education in poetry is the education of a taste for literature in general. (8) The charm of poetry, more than prose, is hidden not only in thought and plot construction, but also in the music of the word itself, in intonation modulations, in metaphors, in the subtlety of epithets. (9) A genuine reading of a literary word (in poetry and prose) does not imply a cursory gleaning of information, but the enjoyment of the word, its absorption by all nerve cells, the ability to feel this word with the skin.
(10) Once I was lucky enough to read the poem "Citizens, listen to me ..." to the composer Stravinsky. (11) Stravinsky listened, it seemed, half aloud, and suddenly on the line “with fingers confusedly wise” he exclaimed, even closing his eyes with pleasure: “What a delicious line!” (12) I was amazed, because not every professional poet could note such a discreet line. (13) I am not sure that there is an innate poetic ear, but I am convinced that such an ear can be cultivated.
(14) And I would like, albeit belatedly and not comprehensively, to express my deep gratitude to all the people in my life who raised me in love with poetry. (15) If I had not become a professional poet, I would still remain a devoted reader of poetry until the end of my days. (16) My father, a geologist, wrote poetry, it seems to me, talented. (17) He loved poetry and conveyed his love for it to me. (18) I read beautifully by heart and, if I didn’t understand something, I explained, but not rationally, namely the beauty of reading, emphasizing the rhythmic, figurative power of the lines, and not only Pushkin and Lermontov, but also modern poets, reveling in verse, especially liked by him.
(19) In 1949, I was lucky when I met the journalist and poet Nikolai Tarasov at the editorial office of the Sovetsky Sport newspaper. (20) He not only printed my first poems, but also sat with me for long hours, patiently explaining which line is good, which is bad and why.
(21) I managed to get acquainted with the work of Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Mandelstam. (22) However, my expanding “poetic education” did not affect the poems that I created at that time. (23) As a reader, I got ahead of myself, the poet.
(24) The turning point in the life of a poet comes when, brought up on the poetry of others, he already begins to educate readers with his poetry. (25) The “powerful echo”, returning, can, by the force of the return wave, knock the poet off his feet if he is not strong enough, or so shell-shock that he loses his hearing to poetry and to time. (26) But such an echo can also bring up. (27) Thus, the poet will be brought up by the return wave of his own poetry.
(28) I sharply separate readers from admirers. (29) The reader, with all his love for the poet, is kind, but exacting. (ZO) I found such readers both in my professional environment and among people of various professions in different parts of the country. (31) It was they who were always the secret co-authors of my poems.
(32) I still try to educate myself with poetry and now I often repeat the lines of Tyutchev, whom I have fallen in love with in recent years:
We can't predict
As our word will respond, -
And sympathy is given to us,
How do we get grace...
(33) I feel happy because I was not deprived of this sympathy, but sometimes I feel sad because I don’t know if I can fully thank for it.
(34) Beginning poets often write letters to me and ask: “What qualities do you need to have in order to become a real poet?” (35) I never answered this, as I thought, naive question, but now I will try, although this may also be naive.
36) There are perhaps five such qualities.
37 First, you need to have a conscience, but that's not enough to become a poet.
38 Second: you need to have a mind, but this is not enough to become a poet.
39 Third: you need to have courage, but this is not enough to become a poet.
40 Fourth: one must love not only one's own poems, but also those of others, but even this is not enough to become a poet.
41 Fifth: you must write poetry well, but if you do not have all the previous qualities, this is also not enough to become a poet, because
There is no poet outside the people,
There is no son without a father's shadow.
42 Poetry, according to a well-known expression, is the self-consciousness of the people. (43) "In order to understand themselves, the people create their own poets."

(According to E. A. Evtushenko*)

Reading a poetic work, a person experiences pleasure, feels the unique charm of poetic speech. In order for poetry to be understandable, to bring pleasure, one must learn to feel the artistic word. It is about this that E.A. Yevtushenko tells in his text and raises the problem of educating a person in love for poetry.

Revealing this problem, the author tries to convey to the reader the idea that a “taste” for poetry can develop in a person. Yevtushenko recalls how he once read poetry to Stravinsky. He was amazed that the composer had such a poetic ear. The author claims that "such a rumor can be cultivated." The poet's father loved poetry, read a lot "reveling in the verse, which he especially liked." The poet is grateful to those people who brought up in him a love of poetry.

The essence of the poetic word must be learned to understand. Many things contribute to this: literature itself, communication with people who can reveal the secrets of poetry.

In Russian literature, there are many lyrical works that cause admiration, such is, for example, Alexander Blok's poem "The Stranger". The lyrical hero admires a beautiful stranger. The hero, looking at the stranger, is immersed in the magical world of beauty and dreams hidden from others, and sees "the shore is charming and enchanted distance." This poem delights: both rhyme, and content, and vivid visual means.

Speaking of poetry, one cannot but recall the work of Vladimir Vysotsky. In my opinion, if not the best, then at least one of his most striking poems is "I do not like ...". The author called this poem a song and even set it to music. Vladimir Vysotsky also spoke about his lyrical work - "It is my life credo ...". In this poem, the author shared with the worlds with his feelings, describing his attitude, what he "never loves." There is nothing "superfluous" in this poem, the author does not deviate from the topic. Every word he says has its place.

I think that the text of E.A. Yevtushenko tells us a lot. One cannot but agree that "a person who does not love poetry cannot truly love prose." A person, cultivating in himself a love for poetry, educates a taste for literature as a whole.
