Alexander Blok - poet "Silver Century". In the history of the formation of a true real Russian culture "Silver Century" occupies one of the special places. Alexander Blok in turn is the brightest representative of this time.

The first assembly of poems The first volume () cycle "Embolish"; The cycle "Poems about the beautiful lady" of the third volume () "This is all about Russia" the second volume () cycle "Earth bubbles"; Cycle "City"

The block reveals the main meaning of the steps of the path they passed and the content of each of the books of the trilogy: ... This is the way, now that it is passed, I firmly sure that this is due and that all verses together together (from a moment too bright light through the necessary The swampy forest to despair, curses, retribution * and ... to the birth of a person of a public, artist who courageously looking into the face of the world ..).

The story of the earthly, quite real love is transformed into a romantic-symbolic mystico-philosophical myth. He has his own fabul and his story. The basis of Fabuil is opposed to the earth (lyrical hero) of the Heaven (beautiful lady) and at the same time, the desire for their connection, a meeting, with the result that the transformation of the world, complete harmony, should come. However, the lyrical plot complicates and dramatizes Fabul. From the poem to the poem, the mood of the hero is changed: rainbow hopes and doubts about them, waiting for love and fear of her crash, faith in the invariance of the appearance of the Virgin and the assumption that it can be distorted (but I am scared: you will change the appearance of you).

"I enter into dark temples ..." What is the emotional atmosphere of poem? What means is it created? What are the subject row of poem, his color scheme? What is the lyrical hero of the poem? Is the appearance of a beautiful lady? What means is it created by its image?

Russian poet of the Silver Century Alexander Aleksandrovich Blok Born on November 28, 1880 in St. Petersburg, in the family of Professor of Philosophy and Law.

The grandfather, the famous botanist A. N. Beketov was engaged in education.

At the age of 5 years, the block begins to write poems.

After the gymnasium in 1898, Alexander Blok entered the University of St. Petersburg at the Faculty of Law, but later turned to the historical and philological faculty, which graduated from the Slavic-Russian branch in 1906.

During this period, he became close to the symbols Dmitry Merezhkovsky, Zinaida Hippius, Valery Bryusov and Andrei White. The poet released his first cycle of poems "from dedications" in the student in the magazine "New Path".

At the same time, his first book of poems "poems about the beautiful lady" was published, dedicated to the love of Dmitrievna - the daughter of the famous Chemist of Mendeleev, on which the block married in 1903.

The second book of poems is coming out in the period 1904-1908, dedicated to the experiences and thoughts of the poet on the topic of revolutionary events that occurred in the country and very affected by the block.

The theme of Russia and the experience of the fate of the people are reflected in his work - in the collections of "Motherland", "on the field Kulikov", "Earth in the snow", in the poems "Scythians", "Retribution".

In the summer of 1917, the block began working on the manuscript, which he considered as part of the future of the work of this commission, these materials came out in the form of a book in 1921 called the "last days of the imperial power".

The October Revolution of 1917, the block accepted enthusiastically and immediately took an active civil position.

The new government was widely used the name of the poet, in 1918-1920, the block was appointed and chose to various positions in committees and commissions.

But he did not leave literary creativity.

In January 1918, his poems "Twelve" and "Scythians" came out, and then a number of poems, lyrical fragments "No dreams, no yawls and" Confessions of the pagan ", Faken" Russian Dandy "," Celebrations "," The answer to the question about red print. "

But the material position of the poet forced him to look for not only literary earnings, but also civil service.

Since 1918, he collaborated with the People's Commissariat of People's Commissars, in April 1919, in April 1919, he moved to a large Drama Theater and at the same time he was a member of the editorial board "World Literature" publishing house, in 1920 he became chairman of the Petrograd branch of the poets Union.

In February 1921, at the evening of memory of Alexander Pushkin, the block made his famous speech "On the appointment of the poet".

All the increasing volume of work undermined the strength of the poet - he had serious cardiovascular disease and asthma.

In the spring of 1921, the block requested about a visa visa to Finland for treatment, but the Politburo of the Central Committee of the RCP (b), at the meeting of which this question was considered, refused him.

On August 7, 1921, Poet Alexander Alexandrovich Blok died in Petrograd, where he was buried in the Smolensk cemetery. In 1944, the poet's dust was reburied on the literal view of the Volkovsky cemetery.

The silver age is a small period of the development of Russian literature. According to the strength and energy of amazing creatures, the poetry of that time was proclaimed by a worthy of the greatest artistic discoveries of Russian classical literature of the XIX century. But the poets of the Silver Age not only developed the traditions of the predecessors, but also created unique masterpieces. The poetry of this period is amazing and unique.
Symbolism is one of the artistic flows of the silver century, which many poets adhered to. Speaking of symbolism, it is necessary

It should be noted that he turned to eternal ideas important to humans. Of all the symbolist poets, the work of Alexander Blok is closest to me. I consider it one of the brightest representatives of the Silver Age.
The block is an outstanding phenomenon in Russian poetry. This is one of the most remarkable symbolist poets. He never retreated from symbolism: neither in junior verses, full fogs and dreams, or in more mature works. The literary heritage of Alexander Blok is extensively and diverse. It has become part of our culture and life that helps understand the origins of spiritual quest, understand the past.
According to the poet himself, his lyrics in all of its diversity is a single work. This work created all his life is a reflection of his creative path. "Collection of poems" in three volumes was compiled by a block for many years. On this collection, it is not difficult to trace the formation of a block as a poet, a gradual transition from dreams to reality. The transition, of course, is very conditional, but noticeable.
The poems of the young block are striking with their purity and tenderness. Of course, it is not free from the influence of predecessors and contemporaries, but it does not prevent him from creating his own, unique. The poet entered the world of people with love and faith in a bright and pure world. Love is one of the main motives of his lyrics. The path to the world, by block, should be carried out with the help of love. And it is precisely this traced in the "verse about the beautiful lady." The block is in search of the ideal, eternal femininity.
Antimony you.
Years pass by -
Everything in the appearance of one anticipation you.
The entire horizon in the fire - and clear unbearably,
And I'm silently waiting, - longing and loving.
He in his initiations of an excellent lady leaves the surrounding reality, locks into his Duma.
From the later creativity of the block I like the poem "Stranger". With the first reading, it is simply affected by the beauty and magnetism created by the poet of the image of a mysterious stranger:
And believe the ancient beliefs
Her elastic silk
And hat with mourning feathers,
And in the rings a narrow hand.
But dreams of an excellent lady can not protect the block from real life.
Reality still penetrates his world. Poems "Factory", "full", "on the rail" and these lines:
How hard to walk among people
And pretend to be unwinning
And about the game of tragic passions
Neat not yet lived.
The events of the early twentieth century were crucial for the revision of their vital values.
We are children of terrible years of Russia -
Forget nothing.
The block moves away from dreams and increasingly looks into the eyes of reality. The consciousness of his civil debt comes to replace the youthfulness, understanding of responsibility to its country. Alexander Blok is experiencing to his homeland, on the one hand, a sense of love, longing for her, compassion, and on the other - faith in the excellent future and the desire to change the life of their people for the better. It is this excitement for the future of the Motherland overwhelms the lyrical hero in the "Twelve" poem. The poem is filled with symbols. It starts immediately from a sharp contrast: "Black evening. White snow". Black color - evil, storm, spontaneousness, unpredictability, white - purity, spirituality, light. The poem meets and red. This is not only the color of flags and slogans, it is a blood color.
The block has a cycle of poems "on the field of Kulikov", where a huge love of his homeland is felt in each word. "Oh, my Russia! My wife!" - So appeals to her poet, that is, not only as a living, but as the closest being in the world. The image of Russia all the time is imperceptibly intertwined with female way. For the Block of the Motherland - a woman; She is similar to the "beautiful stranger" to which the poet appeals in his early verses. Love for homeland and love for a woman for a block - the concepts of inseparable and equally significant.
Despite the fact that the work of Alexander Blok accounted for a rather difficult period in Russia's life, his quest and error in search of bright, beautiful life, life in the name of man, mankind and love remains relevant to this day. His early dreams of an excellent lady, about the search for eternal femininity give reason to think about the current young generation. True love is to this day one of the driving forces in the life of humanity. The block went away early, but the poems are worried about people, they help us live.

3.Mone impression of the block and his work

My favorite poet of the Silver Age - Alexander Alexandrovich Blok. A talented person with difficult fate, reversible war, revolution and illness, lived only 40 years. He became famous as a publicist, critic, playwright, but the most weighty trace left a rich collection of poems. The poet knew how to fascinate with words, enveloping the prosaic and ordinary mysticism, immersing the mysterious depths of images and fantasies.

The poet was born in 1880 in St. Petersburg, in an intelligent family. Alexander received a decent education, earning first in the introduced gymnasium, and then at the St. Petersburg University, first on legal, and then on the historical and philological faculty.

Years of students bring him with friends and future colleagues. The creative abilities of Alexander manifested themselves very early: at age 5 he wrote the first poem, and from 10 began to conduct publicist activities in magazines. In 1904, the first published collection of "poems about the beautiful lady", dedicated to his wife's love of the Mendeleevoye, the feelings of which block will sweep through all his life, through difficulty and temporary cooling, characteristic of his rebellious soul.

In the future, Alexander continues to develop on a poetic field, travels in Europe, makes new acquaintances. These impressions productively affect his career. A new breath gives him the October Revolution. Drawing inspiration in the folk riot, the block is engaged in journalistic activities and writes the famous poem "twelve", caustic, metaphoric and ingenious.

The final of the life path of the poet is tragic: the Soviet government, which he was entirely devoted, did not gear him. In 1921, the heart disease breaks the life of another young man. Until the last hour, his beautiful lady remains next to him, Love Mendeleev's permanent Muse.

It is impossible not to note the delightful "stranger", one of the most recognizable works of the poet. Overwarked in life, Alexander, Alexander searched for comfort and found it in the form of ladies under a veil. The patriotic poem "on the field of Kulikov," where the poet with a big trembling expresses the devotion to his long-suffering homeland.

The poem "demon" (go, go after me - submissive ...) conquers frightening beauty to which, nevertheless, I really want to touch. The author lures and holds the reader with a magnificent syllable as masterfully, how a lyrical and dangerous hero is an unfortunate girl.

Alexander was a man of difficult, controversial to passions. Personal features and talent, presented to him over, allowed to submit ordinary problems and emotions, familiar to every person, in a new, unusual light. The poetry of the block is very difficult: the metaphors and symbols are forced to reflect on what it is in mind, but this is its value and charm.

Alexander Blok was not only the great poet of the era, which we now call the "silver age", the creator of the cycles "poems about the beautiful lady", "Snow Mask", "Jamba", "Poems about Russia" of the poem "Twelve" - \u200b\u200band for contemporaries, And for us it remains a man of high spirit, amazing honesty. The block believed that poems could change the world if their creators would be quite clean in spirit. And the fact that the world with the beginning of the twentieth century began to shake the bloody tragedies, he put, in particular, herself. I offer you a film about Alexandra block and a small essay about this mysterious poet, for whom poetry was not just literature, but in service.

Among the poets of the early XX century, talented and bright, Alexander Blok stood somehow a mansion. He rarely visited where all the poets of the Silver Age were: at the Religious and Philosophical Meetings at Merezhkovsky, in the Kabar "Stray Dog", where the whole Bohemian of St. Petersburg was going after 1912. He confronted noisy gatherings, literary debates, said little and argued, because he did not like to "talk about the unspeakable." And in general, against the background of emotional, even exalted colleagues, he struck with restraint and cocoa self-profit as if he was defeated by a certain mystery, which he was in herself. Nevertheless, they were treated with special respect, this is evidenced by the memories of contemporaries. It's amazing how differently they saw him how difficult it was to betray even the idea of \u200b\u200bhis appearance. Someone called the block very beautiful, someone spoke of a fixed, as if carved out of stone, face. Andrei White wrote about the light of this face, as if covered with a golden-pink tan. Zinaida Hippius found something cute, childish. The main lady of the literary Petersburg, which very sharply judged his contemporaries, he wrote about the block of Hippius almost gently. Chukovsky recalled the special about the magic proceeding from this person. And his friend, then the enemy, the opponent in Lububyddrey White, after his death he will write the autobiographical trilogy, where it will be again and again with him, the dead continue to find out the relationship.

It is surprising that in the era of the "silver century", the time of people of talented, even ingenious, but noisy, emotional, explosive, prone to the bohemian lifestyle, this silent person was recognized as the greatest authority. And it's not just a poetic genius, but the identity of the block. There was something in him from the mysterious medieval knight, or this Pushkin "knight of the poor":

Lived in the light Knight poor

Silent and simple

Seemingly gloomy and pale,

Bold and straight

He had one vision, an incomprehensible mind ...

Vision or dream of a vision - you have started a block. Then everyone dreamed of revelations. The young people were familiar with the poet, the philosopher, mysticism Vladimir Solovyov, who, among other works, wrote the poem "Three Dates", where he described three mystical meetings when he was a woman he considered Sophia Wrought. For a block, acquaintance with the work of Solovyov was a shock.

Those unclear dreams, signs in nature, which was worried about him, about whom he did not speak to anyone, received a sudden explanation, justification. From the record books of the block, September 1901: "I saw a tricky dream in the banner. Something broke into time. And she clearly appeared to me ... and a secret was revealed. I saw the family went out, and I stayed in the door in front of her. She fell towards and said the strange word that I am with love for her. I, holding Tom Solovyov in my hand. I filed her, and suddenly I see, one hundred is no longer poems, but a small German book ... "

The block did not doubt that this was the same woman that he was Solovyov three times, he did not doubt the reality of this event and waited for him, in reality. He believed that his poems were a phenomenon of mystical. "This is a diary in which God allowed me to speak in verses."In it, first — waiting for a wonderful phenomenon. Then the pain and despair, when something happened in the world, the pink dawns went out. Then the vortices and blizzards appeared in his verses. And then everything was silent, and the block repeated in different verses " As a hard dead among people, "said that the soul is dead .

And then the body died. No one could say why the unit died in just 40 years. And maybe it was just that rare case , when the body simply deviates, abandoned by heavenly light. After 1914 he did not write anything, and everything altered and reworked his youthful "poems about the beautiful lady." He was aware of their immaturity. But still believed that this is the best that it is written. Someone has even mentioned that he does not consider themselves their author that they were dictated by over. In the "verse about the beautiful lady" there is some kind of special tension, purification before it arrival.

Antimony you. Years pass by -

Everything in the guise of one anticipation of you.

The entire horizon in the fire - and clear unbearably,

And I'm silently waiting, - longing and loving.

However, someone can say that "poems about the beautiful lady" were created during the period. When the block was in love with a petner, his future wife. And these poems are addressed to it. In his memoirs, Lyubov Dmitrievna writes that it was often when the block read her poems, she suspected that they were addressed to her, but with a jealous feeling he did not find themselves in his lady. She was a very earthy girl - ruddy, with a thick oblique, there was nothing from the infertile lady. It annoyed it, and once she even decided to break with him, writing in a letter: "You are looking at me, as a certain abstract idea, you have made any unnecessary things about me, and for this fiction, which is alive only in your imagination, you I was not noticed by a living person with a living soul. "

She did not send him this letter, as did not send the letter the letter, which he then wrote her to the case of gap: "My life, i.e. The ability to live is unthinkable without some of you some vaguely felt spirits. If we are divided into thoughts or divided in life, my strength weakens, only longing remains. " In their lives there will be different periods - and bright young joy, and change, and misunderstandings. The block will write once: "Lyuba brought mom to illness. Lyuba created the unbearable complexity and tiriness of the relationship, which is now. Lyuba on earth is a terrible message in order to torment and destroy the values \u200b\u200bof the earth ... But 1898-1902 did what I can't part with her and love her. " These were just the years of lovely ladies, premonitions and insights that they survived together when her strength, energy was needed.

The block was a man of a different world, he thought and felt differently, and we should not try to explain it. Just in his verses, it will be unclear about us to flicker then the image of the beloved woman, then the appearance of a great wife. He lived in another dimension, saw the reality what seems to be fantastic visions. But if you take the block, you need to accept the reality of its visions and mystical experiences.

He has an amazing article " About the modern state of symbolism"She is about the world of his poetry, about the reality that he considers the only one, and which makes sense to his work. He writes in her about the worlds in the light of the radiant sword, about the purple-lilac worlds "Golden Sword flared up dazzling and pierces the heart of the poet. Already begins to drive a face among heavenly roses. There is a dialogue ... but, as if jealous, poet, someone suddenly stops the golden thread. The blade of the radiant sword is fading and stops feeling in the heart. The worlds that were penetrated by the golden light, losing a purple shade, like through the broken dam, the blue-lilac dusk bursts. " And then the face that has come among roses, disappeared. And in his place - a dead doll.

The poet is surrounded by the demons, they are submissive by the will of the poet, in those lilac worlds, they grow in search of the best jewels, so that with their help the poet created a terrestrial miracle, beauty-doll, "stranger." The block was often asked why his wonderful lady turned into a stranger? He dismissed. He could not explain to every conversational that this is the essence of his mental drama. Once he wrote: "O. As the pad and sore, and low, not defeated the fatal dream ... "did not overcome, could not be clean enough and high or high? But who when he thought about what worlds do poems come if they are beautiful? Only block. And in this high spiritual demandingness - his greatness. They say he loved only his youthful poems. We can't not admire his "stranger."

"Stranger" was written in 1906. Vague, disturbing, time. Bloody events of the first Russian revolution. The block will also write about the real life of Russia of the beginning of the century, but it is more worried about the shifts in the other dimension, which he perceived as a reality. And the storm of earthly life considered the echoes of the storms there. He is sure: "As something fell into us, so broke in Russia." I almost vinyl in the Russian tragedy. And another gestrate phrase block: "We were prophets, wished to become poets."

In 1907, the cycle of poems "Snow Mask" is born. They are also dedicated to a woman in love with a block in the cold blurring winter of 1907 - Natalia Nikolaevna Volokhova, actresses of the Komissarzhevskaya Theater, an excellent woman with "cyboard eyes." In that blizzard, his "Balant" was put in the theater. There were many young people around, carnivals were arranged, rushed in the sleigh on the snow-covered streets, and the block was cheerful. And in his verses of this period - blizzard, blizzard, cold and confusion.

And again, shifting the wicnup bowl,

You settled fear in the heart

Innocent smile

In heavy-haired hair.

I tilter in dark jets

And again inhale, not love

Forgotten sleep about kisses,

About snow blizzards.

It is unlikely that these verses are really associated with N. N. Volokhova. This blizzard was in the soul of the block, which lived his, a separate life. Returning to the article on the symbolism, I will give a quote: "Art is hell. No wonder Bryusov bequeathed by the artist: "As a Dante, the underground flame you should burn your cheeks." In the countless circles of hell, only the one who has a satellite, a teacher and the head of a dream about the one that will lead there, where does not dare to enter the teacher ... anyway, the purple worlds swept Lermontov, who rushed under the gun to his will. And Gogol, who burned himself, floundering in velvet pawn paws. " And he described her fate in verses:

How did it happen, how did it happen?
I was poor, weak and small.
But certain mystery
I was opened until time
I learned high.
Unworthy slave, treasure
I am presented not to keep,
I was a king and the guard random.
Sonslam Low Monsters
Filled at me.

And at the end of these lines:

I do not fall before you
Look at me:
I stand among the fires,
Dried tongues
Underwater.

Interestingly, Andrei White, remembering the young block, writes about the golden-pink haze of his face. Then he wrote that the face of the block was, as if underacted. And the block wrote about the same: "We are offered: sing, they have fun, and our faces are fused by a purple dusk." But in that lilac dusk, the music sounded, poems were born. That is disastrous and tragic, then complete silent sorrow.

There were bursts of feelings, gusts for life, joy:

Oh, I want to live insanely:

All existing - perpetuate,

Impersonal - to see

Unstable - to realize!

The block will slightly catch the music of the elements and embody it in poetry. Love is part of the world element. And the cycle "Carmen" will be born.

Oh yes, love free, like a bird,
Yes, anyway - I'm yours!
Yes, I still will dream
Your camp, your fire!

Vorki Elements He will hear in history, and they will sound in his cycle "on the field of Kulikov"

And eternal fight! Rest only in our dreams

Through blood and dust ...

Flies, the steppe mare flies

And Mount Kovyl ...

And then the music began to be served, the "iron day" came and she was silent .. Only once the zealous element sounded in his verses: in the poem "Twelve". Having written it, he exclaimed: "Today I am a genius." The poem did not like neither right or left. The Bolsheviks did not want to recognize the revolution in this demonsky whirlwind, their opponents decided that the block was sold red. And he just heard the last time and recorded the music he was used to capture in the world.

Black evening.
White snow.
Wind, wind!
There is no man on the legs.
Wind, wind -
For all God's light!

Element of the revolution, let the terrible element, replaced by world vulgarity, so disastrous for the poet. And the soul died.

How hard to walk among people
And pretend to be unwinning
And about the game of tragic passions
Neat not yet lived.

And, peering into your nightmare,
The system find in a non-stroke of the feeling,
To the pale gorants of art
Find out the life of a disgusting fire!

The epigraph of this block poem has become a line of feta: "There is a man burned down" . We think that poetry is a cozy light, where you can warm your hands in the cold, soul - in sorrow. And poetry can be a terrible fire that burns one who is too close. Those who fly into this flame - madness, but they are the best of those who lived on Earth.
