Life is made up of individual moments that become links in one chain - Eternity. Afanasy Fet created a huge world of poetry, the “links” of which are his poems. In this world, everything is one and everything tells a person to live and enjoy the gift that has been given to us from above! Each verse is a swarm of impressions, thoughts, joys and sorrows, giving rise to the desire to penetrate into other worlds, to feel the greatness of the Universe - this is what makes us in common with the poet.
The poem was published in the journal Otechestvennye zapiski in 1843. Before it saw the light of day, I.S. Turgenev insisted on cutting off the last two stanzas, although the author himself and N.A. Nekrasov did not agree. In 1863, Fet restored these stanzas. The lines of the poem were set to music by composers A. Arensky, M. Balakirev, N. Rimsky-Korsakov.
Theme of the poem
The main themes raised in the work are close to every spiritual and dreamy reader. These include:
- uniqueness of Russian nature
- love is the most cherished feeling
- philosophical reflections on the meaning of life and creativity
- beauty of the surrounding world
The work is dedicated to the most exciting and beautiful time of the year. The image of Spring is a favorite in Fet’s poetry. Awakening from sleep, the resurrection of the soul, an unprecedented rise in energy and strength, the expectation of everything fresh, pure and tender - all these are the main themes in the poem “I came to you with greetings.” This is a “solemn procession” of a powerful feeling and mood, which “puts an end” to the endless “hibernation” of humanity and calls to a bright, happy future.
Genre and composition
The content side of the composition is interesting: each stanza contains a separate “micro-theme”. In the first stanza there is a dawn coming in nature; in the second - the arrival of spring and the awakening to life of birds, “twigs” and “leaves” in the forest. The next stanza is when spring “settles” in the soul of the lyrical hero, opening towards happiness. In the final stanza, Spring and Love give birth to inspiration. The poet declares his poetic “creed”: to glorify beauty.
The form of the narrative fits within a “certain framework.” Each stanza (except the first) begins with the verb “tell.” The desire to be heard is the semantic side of compositional construction. This technique allows you to attract the reader’s attention in order to explain to him for what purpose the author “broke” into the world of literature.
The address to the reader is written in a respectful manner, conducive to mutual conversation. Therefore, in terms of genre, this is most likely a message that also applies to landscape lyrics. However, Fet’s poem is not just an answer to the question about the purpose of the poet’s work. This is a philosophical discussion about love, about the feelings that overwhelm the soul, about the happiness of not only one person, but the entire universe.
The “Spring” poem is also a hymn to the eternal renewal of life, a hymn to the young, burning forces of nature.
Means of artistic expression
How does the poet achieve impression? Rhythm, arrangement of words, poetic syntax “tell” the reader a picture born in the poet’s soul.
There are many examples of the metaphorical way of conveying shades of feelings and thoughts in the poem: “the soul is ready to serve”, “the song is ripening”, woke up “with every branch”, perked up with “every bird”. The word “fun” does not mean idleness, but a mood for work and creativity.
An important artistic and visual means is personification, since for the poet nature and man are inseparable, interpenetrating concepts: the sun “rose”, “trembled”; the forest has “awakened”.
The method of rhythmic organization of the text is anaphora (the use of the repeated verb “tell”). Verbs give dynamism to the entire text. The repeated conjunction “what” creates the melodiousness of the poem, turning it into a “musical” work.
The work consists of four stanzas, each of which has four lines (quatrains), connected by cross rhyme. The meter of the poem “I came to you with greetings” is a dynamic trochaic tetrameter. However, the use of pyrrhic (two unstressed syllables in a stanza) in each line makes the poetic line light and airy.
Alliteration (“I came with greetings”) and assonance (TELL that the sun has risen) accurately convey the emotional state of a person who is confident in his thoughts and feelings.
These sound recording techniques associatively give rise to the idea of a bold and energetic attitude towards life itself: enjoy every moment, act, don’t sleep!
Idea of the work
What doesn't give you peace? What stirs your soul? What makes you appeal to the reader, what does the poet want to “tell”? - Oh the sun. About “leaves” and “branches”. About the soul. Oh happiness. Oh fun. About the song. These keywords in the poem - the answer to the questions posed.
However, there is another “side of the coin”. “I” is also the lyrical hero’s address to his beloved. In it, he expresses gratitude for the feelings that stirred his soul, for the passion that it instilled in his heart and brought to life poetic inspiration.
The originality of Afanasy Fet's creativity
The poet's lyrics are intimate and psychological. It is close to the paintings of impressionist artists, evoking different impressions in viewers. Likewise, Fet’s poetry gives rise to a range of contradictory feelings, but admiration, peace, charm, and tenderness prevail.
Many poems begin with a confidently stated “I.” However, it is almost impossible to “restore” the poet’s personality from them. She is present indirectly.
The discrepancy between the real and artistic worlds- This " business card» Afanasy Fet. He created a world where you can go and take a break from life problems. This poetic “island” is like an elixir that helps to avoid tragedy in all its forms.
The poet sees the purpose of lyrics in the ability to perpetuate the most insignificant detail of life. Seasons, natural elements, time of day are reflected in poetry. Fet’s nature is “humanized,” that is, it exists on equal terms with the thoughts and soul of man.
Afanasy Fet believed that everything on earth was created for the sake of love.
Drawing landscape paintings, “painting” love in all its manifestations, the master uses metaphorical and symbolic ways of depicting reality. In the guise of his beloved, he emphasizes childishness as a symbol of purity and sincerity. The image of fire is like a burn of memory. It “beckons”, “teases”, and serves as a test of sensitivity. Poems about love “speak” in the “language of flowers”: “the first lily of the valley” is the first sigh of love, “violet” is the love of a mother. Main flower this feeling is a rose.
Musicality is clearly manifested in assonant repetitions and in the fact that each consonant is accompanied by vowel sounds. Rhymes in poetry convey the movement of thoughts and feelings. The originality of Fet’s work is the fusion of music, sound, feeling, nature and love, which has so attracted musicians of the romance genre at all times.

I turn to Russian versification. I think that over time we will turn to blank verse. There are too few rhymes in the Russian language. One calls the other. The flame inevitably drags the stone behind it. It is through feeling that art certainly emerges. Who is not tired of love and blood, difficult and wonderful, faithful and hypocritical, and so on.

Therefore, behind each poetic work of those times, a whole Universe was certainly hidden, filled with miracles - often dangerous for those who carelessly awaken the dozing lines.

Poems are our inner music, clothed in words, permeated thin strings meanings and dreams, and therefore, drive away the critics. They are just pathetic sippers of poetry. What can a critic say about the depths of your soul? Don't let his vulgar groping hands in there. Let poetry seem to him like an absurd moo, a chaotic pile-up of words. For us, this is a song of freedom from a boring mind, a glorious song sounding on the snow-white slopes of our amazing soul.
Boris Krieger. "A Thousand Lives"
Poems are the thrill of the heart, the excitement of the soul and tears. And tears are nothing more than pure poetry, who rejected the word.
This is one of A. A. Fet’s most beautiful poems about love; it was published in 1843 and caused a great resonance among contemporary poets. Interest in Fet's work was caused by his writing style, since he violated Pushkin's style of versification, which was recognized as the standard. In his poems there is no extreme precision in combinations of words, they are closer to living speech, and therefore their images are more vivid and expressive. An example of this is the first line of the poem.
The poem is filled with light and joy. The lyrical hero shares his feelings, talking about wonderful morning and about your feelings. This story is harmonious. For Fet, the most important thing in the poem was the ending. That is why the story of the lyrical hero ends with a song - the quintessence of joy.
Among poetic devices, used in the poem, one can note the personification “the forest woke up... roused itself”, the epithets “hot light”, “spring thirst”. The metaphor “breathes with joy” used by Fet is interesting; instead of the breath of the spring breeze, the lyrical hero feels a feeling of joy that surrounds and fills him from all sides. The poem uses parallelism lyrically, because The first half of the poem describes the state of nature, the last two - the state of the hero’s soul.
The harmony of the composition is achieved through repetition; three out of four stanzas begin with the word “tell”, this enhances the artistic impact on the reader. The repetitions sound like a refrain and give the work a melodious quality; women’s rhymes also contribute to this. The unstressed endings of the lines give it even greater musicality.

At all times, at all times historical eras development of society, sublime and romantic feelings inspire and elevate a person. When love lives in the heart, and the soul is filled with tenderness and affection, a person’s life takes on a completely different meaning.

European heredity played an important role in this for the future poet, since his parents were Germans by origin. From his mother, Afanasy Fet inherited dreaminess and the ability to see beauty around him. From his father, the future poet received a thirst for knowledge, an interest in everything new and unknown, as well as a sharp mind. Thanks to all these qualities together, the author was able to achieve significant success in literary activity.
When the poet was 23 years old, and this is the age suitable for love, he, without hiding his feelings, wrote the poem “I came to you with greetings.” At that time, he had a beloved girl, to whom the author dedicated this poem, filled with a feeling of lightness and immense happiness.
In it, the poet, comparing his feelings with a beautiful spring morning, filled with tenderness, the desire to warm a new day, describes a meeting with his beloved. It is no coincidence that the spring time in the poem is described, because this is the time of love, the awakening of feelings. How nature wakes up from winter sleep, so human feelings come to life and give free rein to emotions. The author came to his beloved early in the morning to wish her good morning and with the same passion as yesterday, tell her again about your love. The poet is ready to talk about his sincere and tender feelings not only to his beloved girl, but to all of nature, the entire world around him. Conveying his romantic mood, he says that his soul is ready to serve happiness and his chosen one. The author does not have enough words to convey his feelings, so he is even ready to sing, despite the fact that the words have not yet matured or taken shape.

I came to you with greetings,
Tell me that the sun has risen
What is it with hot light
The sheets began to flutter;
Tell me that the forest has woken up,
All woke up, every branch,
Every bird was startled
And full of thirst in spring;
Tell me that with the same passion,
Like yesterday, I came again,
That the soul is still the same happiness
And I’m ready to serve you;
Tell me that from everywhere
It blows over me with joy,
That I don’t know myself that I will
Sing - but only the song is ripening.

It does not contain pompous phrases, complex philosophical constructions, or political and social demands. This is truly “art for art’s sake.” One of bright examples Fet's lyrics are the poem “I came to you with greetings,” written by the young poet in 1843.
The verse is an enthusiastic monologue of the lyrical hero addressed to his beloved. young man filled with thirst for life. Intoxicated with love, he sees its manifestations everywhere. The sunrise and the beginning of a new day make him rush to his beloved with the first morning greeting. For many, morning is the beginning working day with your problems and difficulties. The lyrical hero is not yet burdened with worries. He greets the morning with wide with open eyes and soul, each time as if being born anew. Also unique for him is the next meeting with his beloved, who is able to fully share his joy.
Fet uses his characteristic motif of the unity of man with nature. Together with lyrical hero The forest wakes up, filled with birdsong. The author points out the invariability of his feelings for his beloved, his readiness to just as surely be her humble servant.
The lyrical hero cannot convey in human words the full magnitude of the delight that gripped him. A “song is ripening” in his soul, the content of which is still unknown to him. This is seen as the expectation of the poet’s creative inspiration, which will overwhelm him and result in another beautiful work.
Fet spoke Russian brilliantly. In the poem he uses minimal expressive means: personifications (“the sun… fluttered”, “the forest woke up”), epithets (“hot”, “spring”). They are not decisive. The construction of the poem itself is important. The tetrameter trochee creates a feeling of smoothness and melody. Fet's special idea is that the entire work is one sentence. The four quatrains should be perceived in one breath, easily and freely. Thus, not only the content, but also the form of the poem symbolizes youth and new creative forces.
“I came to you with greetings” is a real hymn of the lyric poet. The poem was highly appreciated by contemporaries and remains very popular in our time.
