(362 words) A.S. Pushkin touched on many topics in his work, but, in my opinion, first of all, he is a true master of lyrics dedicated to love to a woman. Let us consider the features of this direction of his poetry in order to determine the unique and innovative features of the style of Alexander Sergeyevich.
The theme of love accompanies Pushkin from a young age until the end of his days, we can say that love became the cause of his death (a mortal wound in a duel with Dantes because of jealousy). It is very versatile: in youth - it was elevated to the Absolute. Perfect, sensual and penetrating to the depths of the soul. And at a more mature age, she is fleeting, sad, not so bright, but still a bright feeling for the poet.
The most striking monuments of love of the Lyceum period are the poems “The Beauty Who Sniffed Tobacco”, “Reason and Love”, “Towards Natalia”. The love lyrics here are fun and frivolous, more fun than a serious feeling. From the last very nice lines about the first feeling sound:
Like laughing into evil Amur
I wrote a caricature
On the gracious female gender;
But in vain I laughed
Finally he got caught
Himself, alas! you are crazy.
In the mid-1820s, Pushkin polished his tongue and rethought love. It was during this period that he idealized her in his poems and created such masterpieces as “Madonna”, “Confession”, “K ***”:
I remember a wonderful moment:
You appeared before me
Like a fleeting vision
Like a genius of pure beauty.
Love here acquires a life-giving power that can exalt to heaven.
In maturity, the poet in life no longer extols love to some divine degree, we can conclude from his letters. For him, she is quite simple and natural, because he is already married and is the happy father of several children. But in the lyrics you can still see the euphoria of a beautiful and extraterrestrial feeling. Here more preference is given to memories, a slight haze of the past. If in everyday life, for the author, love was not something special, then poetry was obliged to fix it, to which the poet dedicated his efforts. An example of this is the poem "I Loved You," where the lyrical hero confesses to the beloved in angelic and humble love, devoid of even hope of reciprocity. In life, jealousy would overcome him (we all remember that the author himself suffered from these negative emotions). But within the rhyme, he ascends above the bustle of ordinary human relations.
Thus, the love lyrics of A. Pushkin is rich in all the variety of love that the author subtly noticed and reflected.
