The light of the high skies and the brilliant snow size. “Wonderful picture, how dear you are to me
Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet
Wonderful picture
How dear you are to me:
White plain,
Full moon,
The light of the high heavens,
And shining snow
And distant sleighs
Lonely running.
The ability to convey all the beauty in a few phrases surrounding nature is one of the most striking distinctive features creativity of Afanasy Fet. He went down in the history of Russian poetry as an amazingly subtle lyricist and thoughtful landscape painter who was able to choose simple and precise words when describing rain, wind, forest or different seasons. At the same time, only the poet’s early works are distinguished by such liveliness and accuracy, when his soul was not yet clouded by a feeling of guilt before the woman he once loved. He subsequently dedicated it to Maria Lazic great amount poems, going further and further in his work into love and philosophical lyrics. Nevertheless, many of the poet’s early works have survived, which are filled with amazing purity, lightness and harmony.
In 1842, Afanasy Fet wrote the poem “Wonderful Picture,” masterfully depicting a winter night landscape. For such works, the poet was often criticized by venerable writers, believing that the absence of deep thoughts in poetry is a sign of bad taste. However, Afanasy Fet did not claim to be an expert on human souls. He was simply trying to find simple and accessible words to talk about what he saw and felt. It is noteworthy that the author expressed his personal attitude to the surrounding reality extremely rarely, trying only to record various items and phenomena. However, in the poem “Wonderful Picture” the poet cannot resist admiration and, talking about a frosty winter night, admits: “How dear you are to me!” Fet feels a special charm in what surrounds him - “the white plain, full moon“bring into the author’s life long-forgotten feelings of joy and peace, which are enhanced by the “distant lonely running of a sleigh.”
It would seem that there is nothing remarkable in the recreated picture of a winter night and worthy of attention. Probably, the poem itself was written at the moment when Afanasy Fet was making a short journey across the vast Russian expanses. But the tenderness that the author puts into every line of this work indicates that such a night walk gave the author incomparable pleasure. Fet manages to convey his true feelings and remind us all that we can experience happiness even from simple and familiar things, which we often simply do not pay attention to.

Analysis of the poem “Wonderful Picture” by Fet
A. Fet was often reproached for excessive brevity and lack of deep meaning in poems. The poet admitted that he considers even the manifestation of personal feelings unnecessary. In his opinion, a work should convey immediate impressions as accurately as possible and not impose the author’s position on readers. This idea of Fet manifested itself especially clearly in his early work. A typical example is the poem “Wonderful Picture” (1842).
The author describes his real impressions under the influence of a winter night trip. The poem is a miniature. It could be created in a burst of creative inspiration in a few seconds. Fet's talent lies in the fact that he was able to capture the most necessary details. The author’s personal attitude is expressed in only one phrase: “how dear you are to me.” This is quite enough to show the poet’s boundless love for his land. If for most contemporaries patriotism was expressed in an abundance of solemn words and promises, then Fet just mentions some ordinary signs of the Russian landscape: “white plain”, “brilliant snow”. “Sleigh... lonely running” connects his poem with the traditional image of the Russian troika, symbolizing the whole of Russia.
Fet was a man with a very sensitive soul. Ordinary things that many would not pay any attention to could delight him. The poet's main merit lies in his ability to convey this feeling to the reader using minimal artistic means. The poem “Wonderful Picture” seems simple and naive to the point of banality, but magically creates a joyful atmosphere in the soul.
The poet was still a very young man. His inspiration was directly related to his youthful dreams and hopes, which were distinguished by their freshness and purity.
Only after tragic death M. Lazic personal motives appear in Fet’s work. But at the same time, the poet never imposed his sad reflections on nature, but continued to look for in it a correspondence with personal experiences. Fet was of the opinion that nature stands on equal terms with man and has its own soul. Therefore, he saw his task as giving natural phenomena a well-deserved tribute, rather than trying to explain them in terms of reason.

Wonderful picture
How dear you are to me:
White plain,
Full moon,
The light of the high heavens,
And shining snow
And distant sleighs
Lonely running.
Indeed, a wonderful picture. Only 8 lines, from which some kind of mystery emanates.Winter night.Plain white with snow. Above her in the high skies is the full moon. Shiny snow. And lonely sleighin this snowy expanse. Very beautiful! And a little sad. And this whole picture is painted in just one complex sentence. And that's what's surprising: the poem has 21 words: 8 nouns, 7 adjectives, 1 participle, 2 pronouns, 3 conjunctions. And not a single verb. I thought: why? I re-read the poem again. And suddenly I realized:The poet does not need verbs in this picture.Reading the poem, you feel that the picture painted by the poet does not change before our eyes, it is somehow frozen, there is no movement in it. Everything he writes about happens simultaneously. And verbs convey movement, the dynamics of changing pictures.
I imagine an endless plain covered with a white, fluffy sheet. There is a full moon above this vast space. It is very bright, and it makes the sky seem high. A yellow stream of light pours from it, making the snow glisten.Simple winter landscape. And what a beauty!It’s a little sad that the moon is lonely in the vast expanse of the sky. In the distance, a lonely sleigh is running along the snowy plain. But there is a man in the sleigh. And he is alone in this snowy night desert. I understand the feelings of this traveler. Find yourself in winter moonlit night in a snowy desert among endless expanses - this is probably a test for the soul. This double loneliness (in nature and in the human soul) makes it even sadder. And you understand that for Fet, man and nature are a single whole. It seems to me that the poet is delighted with this cold beauty of nature. This is felt both in the author’s direct assessment (“Wonderful picture, how dear you are to me...”) and in the selection of epithets. But the poet subtly understands the feelings of a lonely traveler.
Watching the poet’s skill, I saw how accurate and true the epithets are: the plain is “white”, the moon is “full”, the skies are “high”, sleigh “distant”, running “lonely”. The epithet “lonely” stands out from this series with its coloring and makes the reader think. All together they create a feeling of some kind of mystery, understatement.
Attracts attentioncolor scheme of the poem: full moon against the background of the night sky, dark silhouette of a sleigh on white snow. This contrast gives special expressiveness to the winter landscape.
The lines of the poem are short, each of them has two or three, and only one has four words. And one gets the impression of the completeness of the painted picture, everything is so precise and visible. The earthly world (plain, snow, sleigh) and the heavenly world (moon, heaven) merged, united in some kind of mystery. The poem is written in trochee; I learned that this is the meter most often used in folk songs. Indeed, the poem resembles a folk song. The cross rhyme in the quatrains is easy to understand and the rhymes are precise.
In the first quatrain the voiced voice is repeated three times solid sound[R]. He fills the line with joy, a feeling of beauty. It is not in the second stanza. And that’s why this stanza sounds so easy. Buthere the sound [s] is repeated 6 times, which conveys the sensation of light, 4 times [n] - [n’]. There are 7 of these sounds in the first stanza. They are in almost every word. Alliteration makes a poemmusical, bright,beautiful,creates an impression of mysteryand combines the content of the stanzas. So, with the help of meter, rich rhyme and alliteration, the poet achieves the lightness of the verse, its musicality.
The last line talks about the lonely running of the sleigh. The word “lonely” makes me a little sad, butfeelings of loneliness do not arise, but a feeling of unity between man and nature appears. It seems to me that the “wonderful picture” painted by the poet is close to the truly Russian soul.Fet managed to convey in a short poem the beauty of a winter night, a feeling of love, slight sadness, spiritual unity with his native nature.
Conclusions.
My reflections on the content of the poem, observations of the poet’s skill, allow me to conclude that A. A. Fet is a great master of verse. He knows how to excite the soul with painted pictures of nature, to evoke experiences, positive emotions, i.e., according to the critic Druzhinin, “he knows how to climb into the innermost recesses of the human soul... he has a high musicality of verse...”
I want to reread the poem, experience high emotions again and again.
My poem.
Silvery snow, on fluffy branches,
Falling, spinning, Bullfinches are dancing,
It is from century to century, in winter colors
It falls in flakes. The lights are on...
I wanted to convey the idea of the eternity of nature, its greatness and beauty, and that this greatness and eternity cannot be fully comprehended. And that’s why nature always excites, makes you feel like you’re a small part of it, makes your heart beat faster.

The poem “Wonderful Picture,” written in 1842, dates back to the early period of A. Fet’s work. It was included in the multi-motive cycle “Snow” (1850).
Related to landscape lyrics the poem describes a winter night close to the poet. Fet sincerely loves winter, he is attracted "shiny snow" And "white plain". The apparent simplicity of a simple winter landscape carries within it pure beauty, like snow-white fields.
The work clearly shows main motives- the hero’s fascination with the night landscape, the motive of the path that appears at the end of the poem, the motive of human loneliness, emphasized by the cold beauty of snow-covered nature. The lonely moon above the white plain symbolizes this state of the human soul. Nature and man are fused together in the poem.
Main visual means poems appear epithets: "wonderful picture", "shiny snow", "lonely running", "high heavens", "full moon". Evaluative epithet "wonderful" expresses a state of peaceful admiration lyrical hero. In the landscape sketch there is personification ("and the distant sleigh runs alone") And inversion ("high heavens", "distant sleigh"), performing a dual role. It allows you to organize a fall logical stresses in the poem on adjectives, and also introduces the motif of the path into the poem. In the first stanza, Fet resorts to alliteration of the sound “r”, and in the second stanza he uses the alliteration of the sound “s”, which allows him to convey the feeling of light.
The poet addresses in the second stanza I will repeat paraphrase ("full moon" – "light of heaven", "white plain" – "shiny snow"). Syntactic parallelism (wonderful picture, white plain, full moon) enhances the feeling of harmony from the perception of the surrounding picture. Contrasting color scheme of the poem– the moon against the background of the night sky, the darkening silhouette of a sleigh on the white snow – gives special expressiveness to the winter landscape.
Fet uses in "Wonderful Picture" verblessness technique, conveying the present tense with the help of denominative sentences and the use of the personal pronoun “you” and short adjective"dear" ( “how dear you are to me”). The whole poem represents one thing difficult sentence. It creates the feeling that the poet is overwhelmed with feelings and speaks in one breath, and also conveys a feeling of a holistic perception of nature and unity with it. The narrative intonation emphasizes the calm inner admiration of the lyrical hero for the surrounding beauty.
Compositionally The poem consists of two stanzas-quatrains. It is written conveying dynamics and characteristic of folk songs trochaic trimeter. Fet used cross rhyme in “A Wonderful Picture,” which gives special lightness to the work.
The poet builds a certain sequence in the poem images and feelings. The internal space of the work has a clearly defined rhythm: above ( "full moon"), wider ( "light of the high heavens"), below ( "shiny snow"), already ( "and distant sleighs"). The keyword “running” unites all these multidirectional vectors into movement. The previously motionless world becomes moving.
Throughout the poem, the feelings of the lyrical hero change: subjective assessment at the beginning of the poem ( "wonderful picture") is replaced by an objective description of the landscape ( "white plain", "full moon"), which gradually acquires emotional overtones ( "light of heaven", "shiny snow"). The first two and last two lines of the poem unite the experiences of the lyrical hero - an aching sense of beauty native land, mixed with the feeling of a person being lost in this world, among the endless Russian expanses.
A thoughtful landscape painter, Fet managed to convey in a short poem all the beauty and charm of a winter night, the filling of the soul of the lyrical hero with feelings of peace, calm love and slight sadness, his spiritual kinship with his native nature.

Wonderful picture
How dear you are to me:
White plain,
Full moon,
The light of the high heavens,
And shining snow
And distant sleighs
Lonely running.
A. Fet confesses his love for the winter landscape. In A. Fet’s poems, the shining winter prevails, in the brilliance of the prickly sun, in the diamonds of snowflakes and snow sparks, in the crystal of icicles, in the silvery fluff of frosty eyelashes. The associative series in this lyric does not go beyond the boundaries of nature itself; here is its own beauty, which does not need human spirituality. Rather, it itself spiritualizes and enlightens the personality. A. Fet introduced rural landscapes and scenes of folk life into his poems; he appeared in his poems as “a bearded grandfather,” he “groans and crosses himself,” or a daring coachman in a troika.
The poetry of F. Tyutchev is a kind of lyrical confession of a man who visited “this world in its cancerous moments,” in the era of the collapse of centuries-old social foundations, moral dogmas and religious beliefs.
In his lyrical masterpieces, F. Tyutchev outwardly proceeds as if not from a predetermined thought, but from a feeling or impression that suddenly captured him, inspired by phenomena of the external world, the surrounding reality, a momentary emotional experience. The poet sees a rainbow and immediately sketches out a small “landscape in verse” of just eight lines, as N. Nekrasov aptly called his poetic pictures of nature. But the process of creating a poem does not end there. In the poet’s creative vision, the brightness and fleetingness of the “rainbow vision” entails a different image - bright and fleeting human happiness. A new stanza appears, and the “landscape in verse” takes on the meaning of a philosophical allegory (“How unexpected and bright.”).
Another example. The hopeless rain inspires the poet with the idea of equally hopeless human grief, and he writes poems not about rain, but about tears. However, the entire intonation, the entire rhythmic structure of the poem is imbued with the incessant sound of falling raindrops (“human tears, oh human tears.”).
A. Fet was always attracted to the poetic theme of evening and night. The poet early developed a special aesthetic attitude towards the night and the onset of darkness. At the new stage of his creativity, he already began to call entire collections “Evening Lights”, in them, as it were, a special, Fetov philosophy of the night.
In the “night poetry” of A. Fet, a complex of associations is revealed: night - abyss - shadows - sleep - visions - secret, intimate - love - the unity of the “night soul” of a person with the night element. This image receives philosophical deepening and a new second meaning in his poems; In the content of the poem, a second plan appears - symbolic. His association “night-abyss” takes on a philosophical and poetic perspective. She begins to get closer to human life. The abyss is an airy road - the path of human life.
MAY NIGHT
Lagging clouds fly over us
The last crowd.
Their transparent segment softly melts
At the crescent moon
A mysterious power reigns in spring
With stars on the forehead. -
You, tender! You promised me happiness
On a vain land.
Where is the happiness? Not here, in a wretched environment,
And there it is - like smoke
Follow him! follow him! by air -
And we'll fly away into eternity.
The May night promises happiness, a person flies through life in pursuit of happiness, the night is an abyss, a person flies into the abyss, into eternity. Further development of this association: night - human existence - the essence of being. A. Fet imagines the night hours as revealing the secrets of the universe. The poet's nocturnal insight allows him to look “from time to eternity,” he sees “the living altar of the universe.” The association night - abyss - human existence, developing in the poetry of A. Fet, absorbs the ideas of Schopenhauer. However, the closeness of the poet A. Fet to the philosopher is very conditional and relative. The ideas of the world as a representation, man as a contemplator of existence, thoughts about intuitive insights, apparently, were close to A. Fet.
The idea of death is woven into the figurative association of A. Fet’s poems about the night and human existence (the poem “Sleep and Death”, written in 1858). Sleep is full of the bustle of the day, death is full of majestic peace. A. Fet gives preference to death, draws its image as the embodiment of a unique beauty.
