Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet (or rather Fet) was born on December 5, 1820, lived a long life and died in 1892. This is an unusual and definitely a great Russian poet.
Feta's poems have always been different.associativity. But it was a special associativity. He made omissions in the logical chain, which made his associative connections incomprehensible to an unprepared reader. Fet's poetry was considered difficult, unclear. All because he tried to speak with his soul, and not with the text, to convey his images on a subconscious level. The poet spoke of such feelings, which, in his opinion, did not need words.
Еще одна характерная черта – это музыкальность.All works of Feta are permeated with sounds. For this feature of his, he was often attacked by parodists. In those years it was fashionable to make parodies of poems of poets. And Fet suffered from such ridicule most of all, but nevertheless did not change himself.
1885 The poet is mortally ill and realizes that his life will soon end. He thinks more about his life. And in this state writes this poem. Dedicates him to Mary. But which one?
Before analyzing the poem “I will not tell you anything,” you should understand the background and go back to the young years of the poet.
At the time of his military service, Athanasius passionatelyfalls in love with Maria Lizich. Their romance lasts two years. But both he and she are poor. Fet understands that in such circumstances can not tie the knot with the beloved. He is transferred to serve in another place, and they part. Two days after leaving, Athanasius learns that her beloved died under rather strange circumstances, she was burned alive in her own room.
According to one version, Maria set herself on fire.According to another legend, Maria accidentally dropped a candle on her dress when she re-read letters from her lover. The dress caught fire, and the girl could not put out the fire. And before her death she cried from the balcony to save Fet's letters.
The poet has long experienced a loss and even blamed himself for the fact that the girl died. After all, if he married her, if he were with her, this would not have happened.
In 1857, the poet married Maria Botkina.Many claimed that on his part it was a marriage of convenience only. However, their family life was not unhappy. The husband's wife idolized, cared for him. The poet appreciated the feelings and support of his wife. But, of course, his first, tragic love still lived in his memory.
This poem is dedicated immediately to two Maryam: and the deceased lover, and the current wife.
In it, he simultaneously confesses his love to MaryLizich, and hesitates to tell Maria Botkina that for almost thirty years of their life together he loved another. The poet tries to assure her that everything is fine, but in fact he is still being haunted by old pain.
Analyzing the poem “I don’t give you anythingI will say, ”you can clearly see how the poet compares his memories with the scent of flowers, and it is they, this ephemeral love of his, that give him the strength, the feeling that he is living a full life. And the author wants to carry this secret with him. However, Maria has long been aware of everything and sympathizes with the poet, perhaps that is why she takes care of him with a vengeance and indulges all his whims, if only her beloved person sometimes smiled.
Doing the analysis of the poem “I have nothing to youI will say, ”it is also impossible to forget how the poet did not trust the words. His phrase that he will not say anything means not only that he hides his true feelings from his wife. It also suggests that he believes that the fullness of feelings, the movement of the soul can not be conveyed in the language of words. This is the thought that runs through the whole of his lyrics. "I silently say it" - this oxymoron is only confirmation that it is impossible to express in words all the senses of the soul.
The poem is built on the mirror principle - the beginning and end consists of the same lines. When writing, the author used a truncated anapaest with cross rhyme.
Analysis of the poem can be ended bythe poet never said anything directly. He did not finish. He did not even make it clear from what he was trembling - from the joy of memories, from the night cold, or from something else. Only the main idea is clear - the pain is still alive and feelings cannot be expressed in words.
