Feature of Yesenin's love lyrics. Essay on Yesenin's love lyrics

When it comes to love poetry, the gentle, romantic and light works of Sergei Yesenin, who entered the history of Russian literature as an outstanding lyricist, are first of all remembered.

The poet's biography attracts special attention. Sergey was popular with women, and the author himself was incredibly amorous and emotional. He shared all his experiences and secrets of love stories with a sheet of paper, on which lines appeared that did not leave any reader indifferent.

The poet felt all the depth and beauty of love in the last years of his life, the collection of works “Persian Motives”, written in 1924-1925, tells us about this. A real masterpiece in this cycle of poems is the declaration of love to an oriental girl in the work “Shagane you are mine, Shagane”. In this verse, Yesenin managed to subtly and unobtrusively sing the beauty of his native land, share with a beautiful stranger his thoughts about his native land and the girl who is waiting for him there. The verse is read in one breath, written easily and simply, but at the same time leaves a bright aftertaste.

Another important poem in Yesenin's love lyrics is the work "Letter to a Woman". This work also refers to the lyrics of the last years of the poet, it shows an incredible respect for a woman and a deep understanding of the mistakes made in his youth. In the letter, the author asks for forgiveness from the woman he once loved. Crazy and wild life became the main reason why the relationship did not work out and now the poet, from the height of his years, asks for forgiveness and regrets that he lost his beloved.

Love lyrics by S.A. Yesenin can be traced in several cycles of his work: the city cycle "Moscow Tavern", the cycles "Hooligan's Love" and "Persian Motifs".

Purity, tenderness, sincerity - this is how Yesenin's love can be characterized. This feeling is perceived by him as a rebirth, the awakening of all that is beautiful in a person, as the death of all negative traits. This is the desire from darkness to light under the influence of this magical feeling. We see this rebirth in many of his poems, but it was especially clearly and vividly expressed in the poem “A blue fire swept up” ...

For the first time I sang about love,
For the first time I refuse to scandal ...

Yesenin emphasizes that he loves so much for the first time that his beloved is very dear and necessary to him. He says that he "refuses to scandalize", and this is a big step for the poet, who tried to hide from the Russian "storm" in scandals and taverns. Apparently, Yesenin understood that love is stronger than any adversity, that it can save a person, protecting him from worries with a gentle but powerful hand. The poet does not hide the fact that on women and potion greedy", but promises his beloved that he will leave" drink and dance". He will leave her, Isadora, to be next to him, to live in the present, and not in the past.

I was all - like a neglected garden,
Was on women and greedy potion,
Enjoyed singing and dancing
And lose your life without looking back.
... And so that, not loving the past,
You couldn't leave for someone else.

Love for Augusta Miklashevskaya was so strong that Yesenin promises to stop writing poetry, and this is a big step for the poet, he is ready to sacrifice the most expensive - literary work.

I would forever forget taverns
And I gave up writing poetry
Only to touch a thin hand
And your hair color in autumn.

Yesenin's love for Duncan is boundless and so tender that we can even catch a breath of light, but intoxicating spirits. We feel a light trail of fragrance thanks to the assonance used by Yesenin:

Only to touch a thin hand ...

In the first stanza, it seemed to me that a glass had broken somewhere nearby. This can be heard through explicit alliteration:

For the first time I sang about love
For the first time I refuse to scandal.

The sound of a broken glass is heard, which becomes the personification of the poet's readiness to change for the sake of his beloved woman.
Lightness, expressiveness, melody to the whole poem is given by cross rhyme.

Tread gentle, light steel,
If you knew with a firm heart, J.
How he knows how to love a hooligan, M.
How can he be submissive.

Yesenin, to show that he knows how to be not only a bully. But also a romantic, uses an anaphora.

With the help of the figurative and expressive means used in the poem - tropes, Yesenin increases the aesthetic impact on the reader, emphasizes the magnificence of the language. epithets ( blue fire, neglected garden, golden-brown whirlpool, stubborn heart, submissive hooligan, strangers gave) in Yesenin's lyrics does not exist on its own, for the sake of form, but in order to more fully and deeply reveal the thought, to show what Isadora means to him in general. In my opinion, Yesenin had one favorite trope - the personification, with the help of which he revives the whole world, endowing it with a soul. In the poem “The Blue Fire Was Swept Away”, the personification “the fire was swept up” in the image of a fire Yesenin shows his restless heart, which does not find peace.

Using the three-syllable size of the verse, the anapaest, Yesenin conveys complex but strong feelings in the poem.

Blue fire swept
_ _ / _ _ / _ _ /
Forgotten relatives gave.
_ _ / _ _ / _ _ / _

Love that can change the world did not defeat Yesenin's craving for women, guilt. Living together with Isadora became a line, having crossed which, Yesenin began to walk even more strongly. He did not keep his promise. At the same time, he understood that love for him was no longer that strong feeling, it had lost its strength and became only a "sensual tremor."

In a poem dated December 13, 1925, "Maybe it's too late, maybe too early ..." Yesenin himself admits to the reader that he has become like Don Juan and challenges him:

What's happened? What happened to me?
Every day I am at other knees ...
... Accept the challenge, Don Juan.

Yesenin despises himself every day more and more for his wild life.

Every day I lose my pity
Not accepting the bitterness of change ...
... Hold me, my contempt,
I have always been marked by you ...

But, at the same time, he despised himself, he clearly realized that his love had ruined him. He believed that she deprived him of his singing courage, said that he would sing "softer and more wonderful", if not "hands of a sweetheart - a pair of swans".
Yesenin knew as many real feelings in his short 30 years as they cannot feel for a longer period. Therefore, by the end of his life, his heart, which had known so much grief and happiness, became a “golden block”

If you love the soul to the bottom
The heart will turn into a block of gold ...

Yesenin's love lyrics are a small part of his rich literary heritage. It is worth noting that even Yesenin himself noted that love for women was not the main theme of his work. Yesenin saw love as his main theme, but love for the Motherland and native land.

The work of S. A. Yesenin is inextricably linked with the theme of love, as if it does not exist without this high feeling. The soul of a poet cannot but love, admire, and burn with passion. She breathes love, lives it, which is reflected in the lyrics.

The first love of the poet is born in his homeland, in the "country of birch calico". Poems related to this period (the beginning of the 10s of the 20th century) are similar in mood to folk songs, full of rustic melody and melodiousness. Folklore motifs are clearly audible in them (“Imitation of a Song”, 1910). From an early age, folk tales, sayings, riddles sunk into the soul of S. A. Yesenin. Therefore, his first poems are distinguished by the fullness of colors, sounds, smells. In his poems - the soft green of the fields, the scarlet light of dawn, the white smoke of bird cherry, the blue sand of the sky.

Love lyrics occupies a significant place in the poetry of S. A. Yesenin. Various experiences of the poet are reflected in his poems - the joy of meeting with his beloved, longing in separation, sadness, despair. But the theme of love in his poems is closely intertwined with the main Yesenin theme - the theme of love for the Motherland. Love for a woman is revealed in him through love for his native land. With amazing ability, he animates the nature of his native land:

green hair,

Maiden chest.

Oh, thin birch,

What did you look into the pond?

Birch - his favorite image, becomes a birch-girl with a green hem, with which the wind plays; maple on one leg; mountain ash burning with its fruits; aspens looking into rose water; rye with a swan neck and many other amazing metaphors and images create their own special world in the work of S. A. Yesenin - the world of living and spiritualized nature in which he himself lived.

The poetry of love, merging with the poetry of nature, draws from it the chastity of spring flowering, the sensuality of summer heat.

The poet's beloved is the embodiment of the beauty of the surrounding world, the beauty of the native village landscape. She appears before us “with a sheaf of hair ... oatmeal”, “with scarlet berry juice on her skin”, and her “flexible waist and shoulders” were invented by nature itself. So S. A. Yesenin describes his beloved in the poem "Do not walk, do not crush in the crimson bushes ...", written in 1916.

In the poem "Green is hiding ..." the girl appears before us in the poet's favorite image - in the form of a thin birch tree that "looked into the pond." The birch tree itself tells us how on a “starry night” “by the bare knees ... hugged” her shepherd and “shed tears”, saying goodbye to her “until the new cranes”.

In the early twenties, there is a sharp change in the mood of the poet in love poems. Yesenin, having witnessed the events of the revolution, seeing the changes taking place in the country, deeply felt the inner mood of the people. It was reflected in the cycle of poems "Moscow Tavern", where the village song lyricism is replaced by a distinct sharp rhythm. The poet, experiencing the difficult changes in Russia together with the people, cannot determine his place in life, suffers deeply from the consciousness of spiritual split. He expected from the revolution the realization of the dream of a "peasant's paradise", a free, well-fed, happy life on earth. But in fact, the ruin of the rural "blue Rus'" took place. S. A. Yesenin felt that there was a destruction of harmony with nature. In one of his letters of that time, he wrote: “It touches me ... only sadness for the departing sweet, dear animal and the unshakable power of the dead, mechanical ... I am sad now that history is going through a difficult era of killing the individual as a living one, because it goes completely not the socialism I was thinking about." This heavy mood is also expressed in love lyrics. Here we will no longer meet words about sublime love, there is no admiration for nature that was always present in early poems. The poet "without return" leaves his "native fields". "Yes! Now it's decided. No return...”, he writes in 1922. Feelings are trampled on, momentary desires come to the fore: "When ... the moon shines ... the devil knows how," he goes "alley to the familiar tavern." There is no beauty of a pink sunset, there is only "noise and din in this creepy lair."

The attitude towards a woman changes dramatically: she is no longer a slender birch girl, but a “lousy” prostitute who has been “loved” and “smeared”. She is dirty, stupid, and instead of love causes only hatred. This mood of the poet is expressed in the poem “Rash, harmonica. Boredom... Boredom...”, written in 1923. However, such images are a demonstrative expression of the depressed state of the poet's inner world. Vicious "tavern" love is a desperate poetic cry about the destructive passion of taverns. And yet, through the painful mental mood of poetic works, the lyricism inherent in S. A. Yesenin breaks through, the sincerity breaks out onto the pages of poems, which further emphasize the deep tragedy of the state of the poet’s soul: Dear, I’m crying, Forgive ... forgive ...

In 1923, the poet returns from a large foreign trip, which played a significant role in his work. He is disillusioned with the bourgeois-democratic principles of the Western world, he is also disillusioned with past ideals. S. A. Yesenin is convinced, “how beautiful and rich Russia is. It seems that there is no such country and cannot be. He does not write poems about foreign impressions, nothing inspires him to work away from his native land. In his lyrics, there is a motive of sadness, regret about the past youth, about wasted years, wasted energy and time in taverns among vagrants and prostitutes. Now the poet again "sang about love", refusing to scandal. In the poem "A blue fire was swept up ..." he writes: I stopped enjoying drinking and dancing And losing my life without looking back. The lyrical hero is again shrouded in "blue fire", he is kindled by "gentle tread, light camp" and, of course, hair "color in autumn". Love, as a saving force, leads the poet to rebirth, to the desire to live and create. In the poem "Honey, let's sit next to each other ..." he writes:

It's autumn gold

This strand of white hair -

Everything appeared as salvation

Restless rake.

In the poem "Son of a bitch", written in 1924, S. A. Yesenin recalls the forgotten "girl in white", and his soul comes to life again: The pain of the soul came up again. With this pain, I seem to be younger ... Thoughts of bright, pure rural youth are reborn in my memory. But the rampant tavern life has already managed to leave its mark on the fate of the poet and it is no longer possible to return the “former song”: Yes, I liked the girl in white, But now I love in blue. In the same period, Yesenin creates a cycle of poems "Persian motives", the most famous of which is "Shagane you are mine, Shagane!". It talks about how, being far from his homeland, the poet wants to tell his beloved woman about the incomparable beauty of the Ryazan expanses that filled his life with vivid, unforgettable impressions:

... I'm ready to tell you the field,

About wavy rye in the moonlight ...

No matter how beautiful Shiraz is,

It is no better than Ryazan expanses ...

Like the whole cycle of poems, it is filled with a romantic mood and light sadness:

There in the north, the girl too,

Maybe he's thinking about me...

“It seems that this is how it has been done forever ...” - in this poem, written in 1925, the sadness of unfulfilled hopes for happiness “by the age of thirty” is poured out. The lyrical hero was ready to burn with "pink fire", "burning" along with his beloved. And although she gave her heart "with laughter" to another, but, nevertheless, this love, unrequited and tragic, "led the stupid poet ... to sensual poems." Being rejected, the lyrical hero remains true to his former feeling. He finds again a faithful messenger - this is "dear Jim":

She will come, I promise you.

And without me, in her staring gaze,

You gently lick her hand for me

For everything in which he was and was not guilty.

The poems of S. A. Yesenin continue to excite us with their dramatic lyrical experiences many years after they were written. This is due to the fact that Yesenin's lyricism, tragic and sublimely romantic, evokes feelings in the reader that are close and understandable to everyone.

"Anna Snegina" (1925)

The poem by Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin "Anna Snegina" is largely a final work, in which the personal fate of the poet is correlated with the fate of the people. The poem is closely connected with the lyrics of Yesenin, absorbed many of her motives and images.

The central, organizing beginning of the poem is the speech of Yesenin himself, the voice of the author, the personality of the author, his attitude to the world permeates the entire work. It is noteworthy that the author does not impose his views, his attitude to the world on other heroes, he only combines them in the poem.

The poet defined his work as lyric-epic. Its main theme is personal. Therefore, all epic events are revealed through fate, the feelings of the poet and the main character.

The very title of the poem suggests that everything is concentrated in Anna Snegina and in those relations that connect the poet with her. It has already been noted more than once that the name of the heroine sounds somehow especially poetic and ambiguous. Snegina - a symbol of the purity of white snow - echoes the spring flowering of bird cherry, white as snow, and therefore a symbol of youth lost forever. There are also quite a few images familiar from Yesenin's lyrics: “a girl in white”, “thin birch”, “snowy” bird cherry. But everything familiar is connected in the image of the main character.

The fact that Anna Snegina ended up far from her homeland is a sad pattern for many Russian people of that time. And Yesenin's merit is that he was the first to show this. Separation from Anna in the lyrical context of the poem is the poet's separation from youth, separation from the purest and most holy that a person has at the dawn of life. But everything humanly beautiful, bright and holy lives in the hero, remains with him forever as a memory, as a “living life”.

The theme of the motherland and the theme of time are closely connected in the poem. And in a chronological sense, the basis of the poem is as follows: the main part (four chapters) is the Ryazan land of 1917; in the fifth chapter - a sketch of the fate of one of the corners of large rural Rus' from the revolution to the first peaceful years (the action in the poem ends in 1923). Naturally, the fate of the country and the people is guessed behind the fate of one of the corners of the Russian land. The author selected those facts that date back to the time of the largest historical events in the country: the First World War, the February Revolution, the October Revolution and the class struggle in the countryside. But for us, it is not the depiction of epic events that is especially important, but the attitude of the poet towards them.

Yesenin does not idealize the Russian peasantry, he sees its heterogeneity, he sees in him both a miller and an old woman, and a driver from the beginning of the poem, and Pron, and Labutya, and a peasant clutching his hands from profit ... The poet sees a peculiar basis of life in the working peasantry, whose fate is the epic basis of the poem. This fate is sad, as it is clear from the words of the old miller's woman:

We are now restless here.

Everything blossomed with sweat.

Solid man wars-

They fight village against village.

Symbolic are these muzhik wars, which are the prototype of a great fratricidal war, from which, according to the miller, "Raseya almost disappeared..." Condemnation of the war - imperialist and fratricidal - is one of the main themes. The war is condemned by the entire course of the poem, by its various characters - the miller and his old woman, the driver, the two main tragedies of Anna Snegina's life (the death of her husband, emigration). The rejection of the bloody massacre is the author's hard-won conviction and a historically accurate poetic assessment of events:

The war has eaten away my soul.

For someone else's interest

I shot at my close body

And he climbed on his brother with his chest.

I realized that I- toy,

In the rear, merchants, yes, you know ...

And only at the end of the poem does a bright chord sound - a memory of the most beautiful and forever, forever gone. We are convinced that all the best that is left behind the hero lives in his soul:

I walk through the overgrown garden,

The face touches the lilac.

So sweet to my flashing eyes

Puffed up wattle.

Once at that gate over there

I was sixteen years old

And a girl in a white cape

She said to me kindly:

"No!" Far away, they were cute!

That image in me has not faded away.

We all loved during these years,

But that means

They loved us too.

The epilogue was very important for Yesenin - a poet and a man: after all, all this helped him live. The epilogue also means that the past and the present are interconnected for the hero, it seems to connect the times, emphasizing their inseparability from the fate of their native land.

The breadth of the historical space of the poem, its openness to life impressions, the best movements of the human soul characterizes the last and main poem of the "poetic heart of Russia" by Sergei Yesenin.

Love in the life of Sergei Yesenin.

The love theme has always been relevant for poets, artists and musicians. Everything has been said and written about love for a long time, but, nevertheless, all people have a different idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthis bright feeling. That is why the theme of love will always remain in demand for creative individuals.

In the poems of the talented poet Sergei Yesenin, the love theme is present even in his earliest works. At first, these were poems that had the character of poetic stylization and folklore. For example, this is the 1909 poem "Song Imitation"

This verse is similar to a lyrical song composed by the Russian people. In this creative period of the poet's life, there are other lyrical works that he dedicated to Sardanovskaya Anna- the sister of his childhood friend, namely: “Why are you calling ...”, “Bird cherry is throwing snow ...”, “The scarlet light of dawn wove out on the lake ...”. The soul of the poet is full of love and jubilation, tender dreams of a date.

Then, in lyrical poems about love, motives will arise that combine the poetry of nature and love poetry. These motifs convey the fullness of the spirituality of this sublime feeling, as well as its innocence. For example, in the work "Green hair...", which was dedicated to Kashina L.I., a slender girl is compared with a birch tree, and her braids are compared with twigs combed by the crest of the moon. This "birch" tells of a shepherd who visits her at night.

There should have been a book in a chaste key "Poems about love", but the cycle of these poems was never written by him.
Another kind of love feeling is presented in the Moscow Tavern cycle. In the early twenties, a crisis occurred in the poet's soul due to his rushing between tsarist and Soviet Russia and the feeling of his own uselessness. Yesenin consoled himself with drunkenness and a wild life. It seemed that he would never experience sublime love. In the work "Letter to a Woman" the poet says that he wanted to "ruin himself in a drunken stupor."

He began to relate to the feeling of love in no way to something sublime, but as to an addictive whirlpool, calling love "infection" and "plague".

The poet was disappointed in matters of the heart, so he writes lines full of cynicism, vulgarity and rudeness, calling a woman a "lousy bitch" and all women a "dog pack".

During this period, Yesenin for the first time in his works speaks rudely against a woman. But still the hero of his cycle of poems Moscow tavern Finally, he asks for forgiveness. He tries to console himself with love and heal the wounds of his soul with its help.

Yesenin dedicated a cycle of his poems "Love of a Bully" Miklashevskaya Augusta. This new love healed Sergei's wounded and empty soul. Yesenin becomes inspired by this feeling, he is again inspired, writes wonderful poems and again believes in this bright, ideal, sublime and wonderful feeling of love.

In the work “A blue fire was swept…” the author admits that for the first time he sings about love and "refuses to make trouble."
Now the meaning of his life is admiring his beloved, looking into her beautiful golden brown eyes, touching her hand and hair. The hero proves that a bully is also capable of love and can be submissive. Love and beloved have become the meaning of the whole life of this hero, he is ready to follow his beloved to the ends of the world. The line of love can also be traced in the poetic work "You are as simple as everyone else." Here, the beloved woman is seen by the hero of the work as a strict icon of the Mother of God.
In 1924, Yesenin went to Batumi. There he met Talyan-Tertaryan Shagane. This acquaintance inspired Yesenin to write Persian Motives. He's writing poems “You said that Saadi…”, “Shagane you, my Shagane…”, “Today I asked the money changer…”.

Transmit "Persian motives" Yesenin's nostalgia. In this lyrical cycle, love for a woman and love for one's native country are inseparable. The hero of the cycle is in love and feels happy, but he remembers that another girl remained in her homeland, who looks like this beloved one, she probably remembers him.

A bright feeling led the hero to the south. But it is not able to overshadow his love for the Motherland and a strong longing for her.

The poems of the last creative period of the poet's life express contempt for false love feelings, dislike for female deceit. Yesenin in his poems condemned deceitful women. He dreamed of a sublime, bright, sincere feeling. Such, for example, is the verse "Leaves are falling, leaves are falling ...". In it, the hero is tired of his hard fate and wants only tender love.
Poems about love express all shades of feelings of the lyrical hero. These works also reflect the biography of the author himself. In Yesenin's poems, any person will find their own idea of ​​​​love.

S. A. Yesenin is known as a poet who sang the beauty of Russian nature and love for a woman. Like no other, the theme of love sounds very bright, bewitching and, in most cases, sad. The peculiarity of love is that it shows two sides of feelings: happiness and the sadness and disappointment that follow it. The loving poet dedicated poems to many women, each of them was unique for him, therefore each poem sounds in a special way.

Objects of love poems

The peculiarity of Yesenin's love lyrics cannot be understood without learning about the women to whom the poet dedicated his poems. Yesenin had a reputation not only as a riotous hooligan, but also as a Don Juan, who had many women. Of course, a poetic nature cannot live without love, and Yesenin was like that. In his own poems, he admitted that not a single woman loved him, and he, too, was in love more than once. One of the first bright hobbies of the poet was Anna Sardanovskaya. Then another 15-year-old Seryozha fell in love and dreamed that, having reached a certain age, he would marry her. It was about Anna's house that the poet said: "Low house with blue shutters, I will never forget you."

It should be said that it was not always possible to accurately determine which woman became the addressee from the poet's lyrics. For example, the heroine of the poem "Anna Snegina" has three prototypes at once: Anna Sardanovskaya, Lydia Kashina, Olga Sno. With the name of the latter, Yesenin had very vivid memories of his first steps in the literary field. The poet visited the salon of this writer, where he participated in debates and disputes, gradually getting used to the capital life of writers.

It is impossible not to say about the poet's wife, Her image has become important not only when creating love poems. She was also dedicated to the poem "Inonia". Zinaida is mentioned in Yesenin's poem "Letter from Mother": "I easily gave my wife to another." It is Reich who is the lyrical heroine of the poem "Kachalov's Dog".

Perhaps the most striking and controversial feeling in the fate of the poet is his love for. Until now, not everyone can understand what attracted a very young fair-haired handsome man in an already mature woman, Isadora. The result of a relationship with a famous dancer was the tavern cycle. "I was looking for happiness in this woman, but accidentally found death," the poet exclaims.

Poetry analysis

Already in the very first verses, the main feature of Yesenin's love lyrics is manifested: love for any person is a tragedy. An example is the poem "Tanyusha was good". The light style emphasizes the daring young life, but its finale contradicts the sound of the verse. Tanyusha kills herself because of unhappy love. Of course, the early lyrics of the poet are, first of all, a hymn to the Motherland. Most of the works of this period are devoted to Rus', the village, animals. But in later years, Yesenin realized himself as a true chanter of love.

Poems of the 20s

Surprisingly, the theme of love became one of the main ones precisely at the time when the poet began to call himself a bully. In the cycle of poems "The Love of a Hooligan" one can clearly hear the motifs of the transience of love, its fragility, but at the same time the feeling is described as a very bright moment in life, for which a person is ready for anything. In some texts, Yesenin uses vulgar, rude language, sometimes even obscene language. Despite this, they are full of feelings, deep pain, they hear the cry of the soul, thirsty for love, lost and entangled in the routine of life ("Rash harmonica", "Sing, sing").

Analysis of the poem "A blue fire swept"

In this text, such a feature of Yesenin's love lyrics as the use of vivid metaphors and epithets was clearly manifested. The poet expresses regret that he spent a lot of time on revelry and scandals, forgetting about what is the main thing in life. Yesenin utters the following thought: he would even renounce poetry, if only to touch a gentle hand and hair "color in autumn." Perhaps none of the poets could describe the feelings of a daring hooligan so touchingly. The poem demonstrates all the important features of Yesenin's love lyrics (an essay on this topic must necessarily contain its analysis), one of which is vitality. First of all, it is due to autobiography. Every feeling described was experienced by the poet himself.

"Let you be drunk by others"

The poem is full of noble sadness for the past. The author expresses sympathy for everything that happened before, and for everything that never happened. The peculiarity of Yesenin's love lyrics is that love is always sad. The poet focuses on the fact that in human life everything happens differently than in dreams. This is due to human stupidity, the desire for petty values, carelessness. In this text, the poet confesses to his lyrical heroine: only she alone could be his true friend and wife, but both of them did not save themselves for each other.

Cycle "Persian motifs"

This is a real gem of love poetry. Beautiful oriental style, special musicality and vivid images - these are the features of Yesenin's love lyrics in this cycle. One of the brightest works "Shagane you are mine, Shagane". It is unusual due to its composition. The first lines of the verse sound like a refrain and are repeated in the last stanza. But the main feature is that each stanza is built on the principle of a ring composition.

This text most clearly embodied the features of Yesenin's love lyrics. An essay on literature written on this topic must certainly include a consideration of the means of artistic expression, because here the poet has achieved stunning beauty precisely thanks to unusual turns of speech. How strange and at the same time strong the line "I am ready to tell you the field" sounds. The abundance of epithets allows the author to express love for his native country and longing for it.

"I asked the money changer today..."

In this, I managed to express my attitude to such a mysterious feeling as love directly. The lyrical hero learns from the Persian money changer that love cannot be indicated by any words, it can only be expressed by touches, glances and kisses. Again an unusual composition. The first line is repeated in each stanza, creating a special rhythm.

Features of Yesenin's love lyrics (briefly)

Consider the main features of the poet's love poems:

1. Love as an obsession, a disease, a description of a feeling that destroys a person - these are the features of Yesenin's love lyrics. And Mayakovsky, and some other poets of that time. At the beginning of the 20th century, this view of this feeling was very relevant among writers.
2. The feeling of love is able to pull a person out of the daily routine for a moment, but, unfortunately, it does not last forever. And after that, only pleasant, but at the same time painful memories, aching chest, remain.
3. The use of vivid poetic images (comparisons, metaphors and epithets). By the way, these are the features of the love lyrics of Yesenin, Blok, Mayakovsky and other poets of the Silver Age, who were looking for a new verse, a new form and word.

These are the features of Yesenin's love lyrics. A short essay should reflect all three points, and they must be confirmed with specific examples. This is easy to do, because almost every poem touches on this topic in one way or another. As material for creating a work on the topic "Features of Yesenin's love lyrics" (composition or essay), you can take such memorable texts as "Hands of a sweetheart - a pair of swans", "Letter to a woman", "Kachalov's dog", "I have never been on the Bosphorus."
