Poems

Fyodor Ivanovich Tutchev's "Poetry" is a jewel of Russian philosophical and landscape lyrics in which poetic thought reaches the heights of cosmic sound, deep psychology and tragic understanding of the secrets of being.Tutchev's poetic world is built on contrast and eternal opposition of forces: day and night, chaos and order, storms and peaceful creation, the external greatness of nature and the inner muting soul of man. His lyrics are divided into penetrated landscape-philosophical masterpieces (“Spring storm”, “It is in the autumn of the original...”, “Silentium!”), where nature is given by a living soul and mind, and the famous “Denisevsky cycle” – a penetrating, dramatic novel in poems about rock, burning and sacrificed love. Every poem of Tutchev is a cheeked formulation of thought, filled with a special musicality, where behind the visible beauty of images is the eternal search for the meaning of life, the recognition of the impotence of the word before the depth of feeling and the worship before the secrets of the universe. Which to read: Lovers of classical Russian poetry of the nineteenth century, lovers of deep philosophical lyrics, romantic thoughts about nature and honest, tragic poems about love.
