The fate of the revolution and the fate of Russia in Sergei Yesenin’s poem “Anna Snegina”

In the work of Sergei Yesenin, the poem “Anna Snegina” occupies a prominent place, reflecting both the poet’s lyrical memories and his foresight of the fate of the country and the revolution. The poem, which Yesenin considered the best of everything he wrote, is largely autobiographical in nature. The main character, on whose behalf the story is told and whose name, like the poet, is Sergei, travels to his native village - Radovo in the period between two revolutions of 1917 - the February and October. He notes: “Then Kerensky reigned over the country on a white horse,” hinting that even at that time it was clear: the head of the Provisional Government was caliph for an hour. The driver introduces Sergei to the sad events in his native village. First, we see a picture of the former prosperity, so close to Yesenin’s ideal:

We really don’t interfere in important things,

But still we are given happiness.

Our yards are covered with iron,

Everyone has a garden and a threshing floor.

Everyone has painted shutters,

On holidays, meat and kvass.

No wonder once a police officer

He loved to stay with us.

The Radovites knew how to get along with the previous government:

We paid the dues on time,

But - a formidable judge - foreman

Always added to the quitrent

According to flour and millet.

And to avoid misfortune,

We had the surplus without any hardship.

If they are the authorities, then they are the authorities,

And we are just simple people.

However, even before the revolution, the prosperity of the residents of Radov was disrupted by the peasants of the neighboring village of Kriushi, where “life... was bad - almost the entire village was plowing with one steam plow

hackneyed nags." The leader of the Kriushans, Pron Ogloblin, killed the Radov foreman in one of the fights. According to the Radov driver:

Since then we have been in trouble.

The reins rolled off happiness.

Almost three years in a row

We either have a death or a fire.

I note that the years of Radov’s misfortunes coincide with the years of the First World War. And then the February Revolution broke out. And now Sergei comes to his native place. Here he learns that Pron Ogloblin has returned from hard labor and again became the leader of the Kriushans. Sergei thinks: “How beautiful the earth is and the people on it.” He is close to the aspirations of the peasants who demand “without ransoming the masters’ arable land,” although Sergei retains in his heart love for the local landowner Anna Snegina. She and Pron come to Anna to ask to give the land to the peasants just at the moment when she receives the news of her husband’s death at the front. Although Pron rather rudely speaks to Snegina’s mother about the land: “Give it back!.. Don’t kiss your feet!”, he still has enough conscience to leave her at this tragic moment, agreeing with Sergei’s arguments: “Today they are not in the mood.. Let's go, Pron, to the tavern..."

Pron is a rather reckless person. Sergei’s friend, the old miller, speaks of Ogloblin without sympathy: “A bully, a brawler, a rude man. He’s always angry with everyone, drunk every morning for weeks.” But the elemental strength of character attracts Sergei to Pron. After all, Ogloblin is a selfless person who cares for the interests of the people. After the Bolshevik coup, Pron promises: “I will be the first to set up a commune in my village right now.” In civilian life, he dies at the hands of the whites, and his brother Labutya comes to power in Kriushi:

Man - what's your fifth ace:

At every dangerous moment

A boaster and a devilish coward.

Of course, you have seen such people.

Fate rewarded them with chatter.

Before the revolution, he wore two royal medals and boasted of imaginary exploits in the war with Japan. As Yesenin very accurately points out: “People like this are always in sight. They live without callouses on their hands.” And after the Labutya revolution:

Of course, in

The Council hid the medals in a chest.

But with the same important posture,

Like some grizzled veteran,

He wheezed under a fusel jar

About Nerchinsk and Turukhan:

“Yes, brother! We have seen grief

But we were not intimidated by fear...”

Medals, medals, medals

His words rang.

At one time, Labutya went first to describe the Snegins’ estate:

There is always speed in the capture: -

Give it! We'll figure it out later!

The entire farm was taken into the volost

With housewives and livestock.

When Denikin’s men shot Pron, Labutya hid safely in the straw. Yesenin felt that in the revolution and civil war, people like Labutya survived much more often than people like Pron; cowards who were accustomed only to “rob the loot” survived, to act on the principle: “Give me! Then we’ll figure it out!” The poet was clearly concerned that such people played a major role not only at the local level, but also in the leadership of the party and state. Perhaps it was no coincidence that Labutya spoke about his imaginary exile to the Turukhansk region, the place where Stalin was actually exiled before the revolution. Yesenin understood that under the rule of Labutya, the peasants’ dreams of happiness along the lines of Radov’s would be completely buried. And the main character of the poem, personifying beauty, leaves Russia in the finale. In her last letter from London, Anna writes to Sergei:

I often go to the pier

And, either for joy or fear,

I look among the ships more and more closely

On the red Soviet flag.

Now we have achieved strength.

My path is clear...

But you are still dear to me

Like home and like spring.

In the new Russia there is no place left for beauty, just as there has long been no place for Radov’s paradise. The country turned into beggars Kriushi. By the way, in Yesenin’s native Konstantinovsky district, villages with such names existed, but they were not located next to each other. Obviously, Yesenin was attracted by the symbolic meaning of these names. “Radovo” in our minds is associated with “joy”, as well as with “delight”, that is, taking care of something. “Kriushi” reminds us of something wrong, crooked. Yesenin, back in August 1920, noted with alarm in one of his letters: “...What is happening is not the kind of socialism that I thought about, but definite and deliberate, like some island of Helena, without glory and without dreams. It’s cramped in it for the living, cramped in building a bridge to the invisible world, for these bridges are being cut down and blown up from under the feet of future generations.” The poet most likely foresaw that the Soviet government, unlike the tsarist government, would not be satisfied with an extra measure of flour and millet, but, having achieved strength, would be able to squeeze all the juices out of the peasants (this is what happened during collectivization, after Yesenin’s suicide). That is why, like the heroine of the poem, he looked at the red flag not only with joy (Yesenin welcomed the revolution that gave land to the peasants), but also with ever-increasing fear.

The great Russian critic V. G. Belinsky believed that in the work of any Russian poet one can determine his main pathos - the main internal driving force of his poetry. The main guiding idea of Sergei Yesenin’s creativity was his enormous, sizzling love for the Motherland. Coming from “the very thick of the people,” he subordinated his poetry to one passion, one thought about the aspirations of the people. Each of his poems, not to mention more serious things, is imbued with the pain of the present and hope for a better tomorrow.

The troubled time when the talented Russian poet lived and worked, the change in the social system, the changes that occurred in connection with this in the masses - everything was subject to his close attention. A heightened perception of ongoing events is especially characteristic of Yesenin. His poetry is the result of constant and deep reflection on the fate of the Motherland and existing socio-economic problems. History, revolution, people, city, village, personality - just a small list of the main themes of his works.

One of the most significant poems written shortly before his death, in 1925, is the lyric-epic poem “Anna Onegin”. This is a kind of result of his reflections on the contradictory and troubled times, reflections on the events associated with the revolution and which gave rise to new relations in the Russian village. Epic, really occurring changes, which radically changed the ancient foundations, pass through the perception of the lyrical hero, the personality of the author. It reflects the depth of his historical thinking, the mood of the revolution, the upheaval of previous relations, the balance of power in the village caused by the events of the October Revolution.
Yesenin again turns in the poem to his native Ryazan places, which are well known to him. The events taking place in one village, comprehended by the author, could and did happen in different parts of Russia.

It is here that the poet makes it clear that he is, in principle, against any war, and defends his view of normal human life. He does not want to be a toy in the hands of the Kerenskys and others like him, who, for the sake of their political goals, “all drove the same homespun army to the front to die.” And thus he becomes “the first deserter in the country.”
And, having firmly said goodbye to the guns, I decided to fight only in verse.
He goes to the village. Familiar places bring back memories of a girl he once loved:
Once upon a time at that gate over there I was sixteen years old. And the girl in the white cape Told me affectionately: No.

Before the war, this village was rich: the roofs of the peasants were covered with iron, everyone had their own yard and livestock, holidays were hospitable, the men were happy with their lives. Different people live here. The great humanist miller, the controversial driver, the poor brothers Labutya and Pron, completely different in nature. The latter, a former brawler and rude man, after the revolution becomes the leader of the peasants and strives to build Soviet power in the village. His brother, “a braggart and a coward,” understands the revolution as an opportunity to do nothing, “to live without a callus on his hands.” These two images embody the contradictory nature of the revolution. The change in the social system also causes changes in Pron’s character; he becomes a more serious person, aware of his responsibility to the people. Buddy!
With great happiness! The awaited hour has arrived! Welcome to the new government!

Labutya represents people who superficially perceived the revolution, seeking to gain some benefit from this event.
These are always on the lookout. They live without calluses on their hands. And here he is, of course, in the Council, hiding the medals in a chest.

How can we talk about a good life for villagers if such people are at the head of the state?
Soon the joy of the arrival of the new government gave way to disappointment for almost everyone. Not everyone was able to manage their own household. The villagers, who had always been subordinate to the landowners, were unable to adapt to the new structure of society.
It’s sad that during the Civil War it was Pron who died, while people like Labutya remained alive and demanded rewards for it.

Yesenin presents the peasants as not at all an inert mass. They are keenly interested in whether the land will be given to them without ransom, when the war will end, who Lenin is: ... on Pron’s porch, loud, peasant hubbub. They talk about new laws, About the prices of cattle and rye. They shout to us, Don’t touch the earth, The moment hasn’t come yet. Why then at the front?
Are we destroying ourselves and others?

It is Pron who organizes the men and goes with them to the landowner Snegina with a demand to voluntarily give up the land without ransom.
Without any ransom, since the summer we have been taking arable land and forests. In Russia now the Soviets...

The image of Anna Snegina is not only associated with the image of the lyrical hero, for whom she is a memory of her former life. Anna is also forced to choose. The arrival of the men finally severed her connection not only with her sweet home and estate, but also forced her to leave. The revolution trampled her life: she loses her husband, says goodbye to her loved one, loses everything she had. But Anna perfectly understands the historical justice that is taking place, because it is not for nothing that she answers the question of the lyrical hero with silence, in which both pain and the consciousness of the inevitability of popular retribution are hidden.

She leaves for England. Having learned about the hero's return to the village, he writes a letter: So often I dream of the fence, the gate and your words... But you are still dear to me, Like the homeland and like spring.
Apparently, she doesn’t find a place for herself there either: something drives her to the port, she looks at the ships for a long time, looks with longing at the red flag, which embodies her lost Motherland and frightens her with memories of what she experienced. Its drama correlates with the drama of the unfortunate generation of Russian nobles, forcibly torn away from their native country and scattered around the world. She judges herself harshly and constructively, realizing that now it is impossible to return to the old, not to turn back time, not even to return love.

And again the lyrical hero recalls “the girl in a white cape.” This image connects the past and the present, two worlds. And it contains optimism and hope for the best.

V. Introduction.

1. The teacher's word.

The poem “Anna Snegina” was completed by Yesenin in January 1925. This poem intertwines all the main themes of Yesenin’s lyrics: homeland, love, “Leaving Rus'” and “Soviet Rus'”. The poet himself defined his work as a lyric-epic poem. He considered it the best work of all written earlier.

2. Student message.

The main part of the poem reproduces the events of 1917 on Ryazan land. The fifth chapter contains a sketch of rural post-revolutionary Rus' - the action in the poem ends in 1923. The poem is autobiographical, based on memories of youthful love. But the personal fate of the hero is understood in connection with the fate of the people. In the image of the hero - the poet Sergei - we guess Yesenin himself. The prototype of Anna is L.I. Kashina, who, however, did not leave Russia. In 1917, she handed over her house in Konstantinov to the peasants, and she herself lived in an estate on White Yar on the Oka River. Yesenin was there. In 1918 she moved to Moscow and worked as a typist. Yesenin met with her in Moscow. But a prototype and an artistic image are different things, and they are bad. the image is always richer.

3. The teacher's word. (slides 7, 8, 9)

The events in the poem are presented sketchily, and what is important to us is not the events themselves, but the author’s attitude towards them. Yesenin's poem is both about time and about what remains unchanged at all times. The core of the poem is the story of the failed fate of the heroes against the backdrop of a bloody and uncompromising class struggle. In the course of the analysis, we will trace how the leading motif of the poem develops, closely related to the main themes: the theme of condemnation of the war and the theme of the peasantry. The poem is lyric-epic. At the core lyrical plan of the poem lies the fate of the main characters - Anna Snegina and the Poet. At the core epic plan - the theme of condemnation of the war and the theme of the peasantry.

VI. Analytical conversation.

- Which hero’s speech opens the poem? What is he talking about? (The poem begins with the story of a driver who is taking the hero returning from the war to his native place. From his words we learn “sad news” about what is happening in the rear: residents of the once rich village of Radova are at enmity with their neighbors - the poor and thieving Kriushans. This enmity led to a scandal and the murder of the headman and to the gradual ruin of Radov:

We've been in trouble ever since.

The reins rolled off happiness.

Almost three years in a row

We either have a death or a fire.)

- What do the lyrical hero and the author have in common? Can they be identified? (Although the lyrical hero bears the name Sergei Yesenin, he cannot be completely identified with the author. The hero, in the recent past a peasant of the village of Radova, and now a famous poet, deserted from Kerensky’s army and has now returned to his native place, of course, has a lot in common with the author and, first of all, in the structure of thoughts, in moods, in relation to the events and people described.)

THE THEME OF WAR.

- What is your attitude towards the war? (Military actions are not described; the horrors and absurdity, inhumanity of war are shown through the lyrical hero’s attitude towards it. The word “deserter” usually evokes hostility; it is almost a traitor) Why does the hero almost proudly say about himself: “I showed another courage - I was the first deserter in the country”?)

- Why does the hero return from the war without permission?(Fighting “for someone else’s interest”, shooting at another person, at a “brother” is not heroism. Losing human appearance: “The war has eaten away my whole soul” is not heroism. Being a toy in the war while “merchants know "They live quietly in the rear, and "scoundrels and parasites" drive people to the front to die - this is also not heroism. In this situation, courage was really what the lyrical hero did, he deserted. He returns from the war in the summer of 1917.)

STUDENT MESSAGE,

- One of the main themes of the poem is the condemnation of the imperialist and fratricidal civil war. Things are bad in the village at this time:

We are now uneasy.

Everything bloomed with perspiration.

Solid peasant wars -

They fight village to village.

These peasant wars are symbolic. They are the prototype of a great fratricidal war, a national tragedy, from which, according to the miller’s wife, Race almost “disappeared.” The war is also condemned by the author himself, who is not afraid to call himself “the first deserter in the country.” Refusal to participate in a bloodbath is not a pose, but a deep, hard-won conviction.

CONCLUSIONS. RECORDING THESIS. (slide 10)

THE THEME OF THE PEASANTRY.

- How does the lyrical hero see the past??(Three years have passed since the hero left his native place, and much seems distant and changed to him. He looks with different eyes: “So dear to my flashing eyes is the aged hedge,” “the overgrown garden,” the lilac. These lovely signs recreate the image of “ girls in a white cape" and evoke a bitter thought:

We all loved during these years,

But they loved us little.)

This is where the leading motive of the poem begins.

-What are the moods of the poet’s fellow countrymen?(People are alarmed by the events that have reached their villages: “Total peasant wars,” and the reason is “anarchy. They drove out the king...” We learn about the “bully, brawler, rude” Pron Ogloblin, an embittered drunkard, the murderer of the headman. It turns out that that “Now there are thousands of them/I hate to create in freedom.” And as a terrible result: “Race is gone, gone../Nurse Rus died.)

-What questions worry men? (Firstly, this is the eternal question about land: “Say: / Will the arable land of the masters go to the peasants / Without ransom?” The second question is about the war: “Why then at the front / Are we destroying ourselves and others?” Third question: “Tell me/Who is Lenin?”

-Why does the hero answer: “He is you”?(This aphorism about Lenin, the people’s leader, is significant. Here the hero rises to true historicism in showing revolutionary events. Peasant workers, especially the rural poor, warmly welcome Soviet power and follow Lenin, because they heard that he is fighting for , in order to forever free the peasants from the oppression of the landowners and give them “the arable land of the masters without ransom”).

-What prompted the hero to turn to Lenin?(Vera, maybemore precisely -desire to believe in a bright future)

-What kind of peasants appear before us?(Pron is a Russian traditional rebel, the embodiment of the Pugachev principle. Labutya, his brother, is an opportunist and a parasite.)

-Is there a positive type of peasant in the poem?(Of course there is. This miller is the embodiment of kindness, humanity, closeness to nature. All this makes the miller one of the main characters of the poem.)

MESSAGE.

- The fate of the main characters of the poem is closely connected with revolutionary events: the landowner Anna Snegina, whose entire farm was taken by the peasants during the revolution; the poor peasant Ogloblin Pron, fighting for the power of the Soviets; an old miller and his wife; the narrator of the poet, involved in “peasant affairs” by the revolutionary storm. Yesenin's attitude towards his heroes is imbued with concern for their destinies. Unlike his first works, which glorify the transformed peasant Rus' as a single whole, in Anna Snegina he does not idealize the Russian peasantry.

MESSAGE.

Yesenin foresees the tragedy of the peasantry of 1929-1933, observing and experiencing the origins of this tragedy. Yesenin is worried that the Russian peasant is ceasing to be the owner and worker of his land, that he is looking for an easy life, striving for profit at any cost. For Yesenin, the main thing is the moral qualities of people. Revolutionary freedom poisoned the village peasants with permissiveness and awakened moral vices in them.

CONCLUSIONS. RECORDING THESIS. (slide 11)

-Now let’s turn to our heroes and see how the leading motive of the poem develops.

LEITMOTHIO OF THE POEM (“WE ALL LOVED DURING THESE YEARS...”)

- How are the feelings of the characters, Anna and Sergei, shown when they meet?(The dialogue of the heroes takes place on two levels: obvious and implicit (chapter 3). There is an ordinary polite conversation between people who are almost strangers to each other. But individual remarks and gestures show that the feelings of the heroes are alive.(READ) ).

The leitmotif of the poem already sounds optimistic. (“There is something beautiful in summer, / And with summer there is something beautiful in us”)

-What is the reason for the discord in the relationships of the heroes?(Pron Ogloblin planned to take away the Snegin’s lands, and for negotiations he took an “important” person, as he considered, a resident of the capital. They arrived at the wrong time: it turned out that news had just arrived about the death of Anna’s husband. In grief, she accuses Sergei: “You are a pathetic and low coward./He died.../And you are here...” The heroes haven’t seen each other all summer).

MESSAGE.

The poem “Anna Snegina” is lyric-epic. Its main theme is personal, but epic events are revealed through the fate of the heroes. The name itself suggests that Anna is the central image of the poem. The name of the heroine sounds particularly poetic and polysemantic. This name has full sonority, beauty of alliteration, richness of associations. Snegina is a symbol of the purity of white snow, echoes the spring color of bird cherry, this name is a symbol of lost youth. Associations arise with Yesenin’s images: a girl in white, a thin birch tree, a snowy bird cherry tree.

The lyrical plot of the poem - the story of the failed love of the heroes - is barely outlined; it develops as a series of fragments. The failed romance of the heroes takes place against the backdrop of a bloody and uncompromising class war. The characters' relationships are romantic, unclear, and feelings are intuitive. The revolution led the heroes to parting, the heroine ended up in exile - in England, from where she writes a letter to the hero of the poem. The heroes of the revolution do not have memories of love. The fact that Anna found herself far from Soviet Russia is a sad pattern, a tragedy for many Russian people of that time. And Yesenin’s merit is that he was the first to show this.

-How is the new government portrayed in the poem?(October 1917, the hero meets in the village. He learns about the coup from Pron, who “almost died of joy,” “Now we all have kvass! / Without any ransom from the summer / We take arable land and forests.” Pron’s dream to take away the land from the Snegins came true, supported by the new government: “In Russia there are now Soviets / And Lenin is the senior commissar." Soviet power is portrayed ironically, even sarcastically. The first slackers and drunkards climbed into power, like Pron Labuti’s brother, who is “a boastful and diabolical a coward,” “People like that are always on the radar./They don’t live as calluses on their hands./And here he is, of course, on the Council”).

- What events take place before the hero’s next arrival to his native place?(6 years pass: “Severe, formidable years!” The goods taken from the landowners did not bring happiness to the peasants: why did the “grimy rabble” need “grand pianos” and “gramophone” to play “Tambov foxtrot for the cows”? “The grain grower's destiny was extinguished »).

-How does the hero know about the events in Kriush?(He learns about the events from the miller’s letter: Pron was shot by Denikov’s men, Labutya escaped - “he crawled into the straw,” and then cried for a long time: “I should wear a red order / for my bravery,” and now the civil war has subsided, “the storm has gone to calm down").

-And again our hero is in the village. What impression did Anna’s letter make on him?(The hero receives a letter with the “London seal”. In the letter there is no word of reproach, no complaint, no regret about the lost property, only bright nostalgia.READ .Sergei remains cold and almost cynical as before: “A letter is like a letter./For no reason. /For the life of me I wouldn’t write something like that.”)

-How does the leitmotif of the poem change in its final part?(Here a “secondary plan” appears, a deep one. The hero seems not to be affected by the letter, as if he is doing everything as before, but everything seems different to him.READ. What changed? “In the old way” was replaced by “as before”, the “aged” fence became “hunched over”.)

MESSAGE.

The poet - the hero of the poem - constantly emphasizes that his soul is already in many ways closed to the best feelings and wonderful impulses: “Nothing got into my soul, / Nothing confused me.” And only in the finale a chord sounds - a memory of the most beautiful and forever, forever lost. Separation from Anna in the lyrical context of the poem is separation from youth, separation from the purest and most holy thing that happens to a person at the dawn of life. But - the main thing in the poem - everything human that is beautiful, bright and holy lives in the hero, remains with him forever as a memory, as a “living life”:

I'm walking through an overgrown garden,

The face is touched by lilac.

So sweet to my flashing glances

A hunched fence.

Once upon a time at that gate over there

I was sixteen years old

And a girl in a white cape

She told me affectionately: “No!”

They were distant and dear!..

That image has not faded away in me.

We all loved during these years,

But that means

They loved us too.

RECORDING THE LEITMOTHIO DEVELOPMENT SCHEME (slide 12)

VII. Final words from the teacher. Return to the epigraph.

- “Distant. sweet images made the soul rejuvenate, but also regretted what was gone forever. At the end of the poem, only one word has changed, but the meaning has changed significantly. Nature, homeland, spring, love - these words are of the same order. And the person who forgives is right. (Reading the epigraph)

VIII. Lesson summary and homework.

How is the new government portrayed in the poem “Anna Snegina”?

Sergei Yesenin's creativity was his enormous, sizzling love for the Motherland. Coming from “the very thick of the people,” he subordinated his poetry to one passion, one thought about the aspirations of the people. Each of his poems, not to mention more serious things, is imbued with the pain of the present and hope for a better tomorrow.

events taking place are especially characteristic of Yesenin. His poetry is the result of constant and deep reflection on the fate of the Motherland and existing socio-economic problems. History, revolution, people, city, village, personality - just a small list of the main themes of his works.

He goes to the village. Familiar places bring back memories of a girl he once loved:

Once upon a time at that gate over there

I was sixteen years old.

And a girl in a white cape

With great happiness!

The awaited hour has arrived!

Welcome to the new government!

Labutya represents people who superficially perceived the revolution, seeking to gain some benefit from this event.

These are always on the lookout.

They live without calluses on their hands.

And here he is, of course, on the Council,

He hid the medals in the chest.

How can we talk about a good life for villagers if such people are at the head of the state?

Soon the joy of the arrival of the new government gave way to disappointment for almost everyone. Not everyone was able to manage their own household. The villagers, who had always been subordinate to the landowners, were unable to adapt to the new structure of society.

It’s sad that during the Civil War it was Pron who died, while people like Labutya remained alive and demanded rewards for it.

Yesenin presents the peasants as not at all an inert mass. They are keenly interested in whether the land will be given to them without ransom, when the war will end, who Lenin is:

On Pron's porch

Loud peasant noise.

They talk about new laws

About the prices of cattle and rye.

They shout to us

Don't touch the earth

The moment has not yet come, they say.

Why then at the front?

Are we destroying ourselves and others?

It is Pron who organizes the men and goes with them to the landowner Snegina with a demand to voluntarily give up the land without ransom.

Without any ransom since the summer

There are now Soviets in Russia...

She leaves for England. Having learned about the hero’s return to the village, he writes a letter:

So often I dream of a fence,

But you are still dear to me

Apparently, she doesn’t find a place for herself there either: something drives her to the port, she looks at the ships for a long time, looks with longing at the red flag, which embodies her lost Motherland and frightens her with memories of what she experienced. Its drama correlates with the drama of the unfortunate generation of Russian nobles, forcibly torn away from their native country and scattered around the world. She judges herself harshly and constructively, realizing that now it is impossible to return to the old, not to turn back time, not even to return love.

And again the lyrical hero recalls “the girl in a white cape.” This image connects the past and the present, two worlds. And it contains optimism and hope for the best.
