"The first sheet" Fyodor Tyutchev

The leaf turns green young.
See how the leaves are young
Birch trees are covered,
Through airy greenery,
Translucent like smoke ...

For a long time they dreamed of spring,
In the spring and summer golden, -
And here are these living dreams,
Under the first blue sky
They suddenly made their way into the daylight ...

Oh, beauty of the first leaves,
Washed in the sun
With their newborn shadow!
And we can hear from their movements,
What's in these thousands and darkness
You will not find a dead leaf.

Analysis of Tyutchev's poem "The First Leaf"

A significant part of Tyutchev's poems are devoted to nature. Nekrasov in his article "Russian Secondary Poets" (1850), among the key features of Fyodor Ivanovich's talent, noted "love for nature, sympathy for it, full understanding of it and the ability to masterfully reproduce its diverse phenomena." Nikolai Alekseevich was supported by other researchers of Tyutchev's work.

Spring has always played an important role in Fyodor Ivanovich's landscape lyrics. This time of the year for the poet is a time when all living things awaken after hibernation, a time of rebirth and inexplicable joy, a time of youth and freshness, a time of love, hope and happiness. A vivid confirmation of this is the poem "The First Leaf", written in the early 1850s. In the work, nature appears to readers as a living organism. In the world depicted by the poet, spiritualized elemental forces rule the ball. Spring foliage in the text is called living dreams of trees. It is she who is in the center of attention in the poem. Every line is dedicated to her. Blue sky, sunbeams, newborn shadow - these are just elements of the environment, scenery.

In the work, Tyutchev reproduces a single visual-auditory impression obtained when observing how birch trees were covered with the first leaves. The poet describes their features with love and tenderness. Each stanza provides the reader with new information without changing the general tone of enthusiasm. In the poem "The First Leaf", the greenery is airy, translucent, like smoke, unusually beautiful, washed in the sun's rays. The work is remarkable, first of all, in that Tyutchev discovers something new in an everyday phenomenon, seen a thousand times by every person on earth. Fyodor Ivanovich was characterized by a fresh perception of nature, he was endowed with a special vision and a wonderful gift for poeticization of quite ordinary things. Another notable feature of the text under consideration is its pronounced impressionistic character. The object - young birch leaves - is reproduced in the same way as it appears at the first sensual encounter of the artist with him.

Great about poetry:

Poetry is like painting: another work will captivate you more if you look at it up close, and another if you go further away.

Small cutesy poems irritate the nerves more than the creak of greasy wheels.

The most valuable thing in life and in poetry is that which fell through.

Marina Tsvetaeva

Of all the arts, poetry is the most tempted to replace its own peculiar beauty with stolen sparkles.

Humboldt W.

Poems work well if they are created with spiritual clarity.

Writing poetry is closer to worship than is commonly believed.

If only you knew from what rubbish poetry grows without knowing shame ... Like a dandelion by the fence, Like burdocks and quinoa.

A. A. Akhmatova

Poetry is not in verses alone: \u200b\u200bit is spread everywhere, it is around us. Take a look at these trees, at this sky - beauty and life blows from everywhere, and where there is beauty and life, there is poetry.

I. S. Turgenev

For many people, writing poetry is a mental growth disease.

G. Lichtenberg

A beautiful verse is like a bow drawn along the sonorous fibers of our being. Not our own - our thoughts make the poet sing within us. As he tells us about the woman he loves, he delightfully awakens our love and our sorrow in our souls. He's a magician. By understanding him, we become poets like him.

Where graceful verses flow, there is no room for quibbling.

Murasaki Shikibu

I am referring to Russian versification. I think that over time we will turn to blank verse. There are too few rhymes in Russian. One calls the other. The flame inevitably drags a stone behind it. Because of the feeling, art certainly peeps out. Who is not tired of love and blood, difficult and wonderful, faithful and hypocritical, and so on.

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin

-… Are your poems good, tell yourself?
- Monstrous! - suddenly boldly and frankly said Ivan.
- Do not write anymore! - asked the visitor pleadingly.
- I promise and I swear! - Ivan said solemnly ...

Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov. "Master and Margarita"

We all write poetry; poets differ from the rest only in that they write them in words.

John Fowles. "The mistress of the French lieutenant"

Every poem is a blanket stretched out on the edges of several words. These words shine like stars, because of them the poem exists.

Alexander Alexandrovich Blok

The poets of antiquity, unlike those of today, rarely wrote more than a dozen poems during their long lives. This is understandable: they were all excellent magicians and did not like to waste themselves on trifles. Therefore, behind every poetic work of those times, the whole Universe is invariably hidden, filled with miracles - often dangerous for those who inadvertently wake up the dozing lines.

Max Fry. "Chatty Dead"

To one of my awkward hippopotamuses, I attached such a paradise tail: ...

Mayakovsky! Your poems do not warm, do not worry, do not infect!
- My poems are not a stove, not the sea and not a plague!

Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky

Poems are our inner music, clothed in words, permeated with thin strings of meanings and dreams, and therefore - chase critics. They are only pitiful slips of poetry. What can a critic say about the depths of your soul? Do not let his vulgar palpating hands go there. Let the poetry seem to him an absurd hum, a chaotic pile of words. For us it is a song of freedom from boring reason, a glorious song that sounds on the snow-white slopes of our amazing soul.

Boris Krieger. "Thousand Lives"

Poems are heart flutter, soul excitement and tears. And tears are nothing more than pure poetry that has rejected the word.

The poem is written in a four-foot iambic with a two-syllable foot (with an emphasis on the 2nd syllable), consists of 3 stanzas. The first and second stanzas are five lines, the last is a sixth or sixth line. The rhyme in each of the stanzas is different - blank and hyper-blank.
Thoughts that life is not eternal and in itself its existence can be called something fragile did not leave the poet. By the definition of P.A.Vyazemsky, Tyutchev avoided meeting with himself, and few people could understand his complex inner world.
Lyrics of Tyutchev is, first of all, landscape lyrics, at the head of which is eternal nature, which calmed and pacified the poet's soul and constant anxiety.
Tyutchev's nature is always young, young. Even autumn and winter never bore heaviness and sadness. "Your springs do not have wrinkles" - wrote Tyutchev to V.G. Belinsky. And it's hard to disagree with this.
“The leaf turns green young.
See how the leaves are young
There are birch trees covered ... " - already in the first stanzas the word young is used by the poet twice. Spring is perceived by the poet not only as a wonderful time of the year, but also as a victory of life over death.
“And here are these living dreams,
Under the first blue sky
They suddenly made their way into the daylight ... " - these lines sound like a kind of hymn to youth, renewal not only natural, but also human.
It is impossible not to mention Tyutchev's characteristic emphasis, which became his artistic achievement - the expression of dynamics, movement (“And we can hear it by their movement”).
Nature in Tyutchev's works appears as a living organism that senses, senses, moves, has its own voice or even character - "The leaf turns green young", "They have long dreamed of spring."
The poem "The First Leaf" reproduces just one of these visual-auditory impressions caused by the appearance of the first leaves on birches.
The leaves in the poem are the main character, the main character. As for all other realities: birch trees, blue sky, sunrays, shadows, thunderstorms, they act as a necessary background. The leaf is young as an object to the fore, since it is the leaves that evoke the poet's first emotions. This also explains the further arrangement of expressive means.
Thus, each stanza has the same theme, but with each line the poet provides us with more information. First, a green leaf is in focus, then birch trees, then sunny days, which were dreamed of by the leaves, and, finally, a newborn shadow.
The epithets given by the poet also reveal the main theme of the poem. The author conveys the appearance of a young spring in such words as: "young", "airy", "translucent", "golden", "blue", "daytime", "first", "washed", "newborn".
