The article presents a brief analysis of "I enterdark temples ". Blok wrote this poem in the heyday of symbolism, being in love and keen on the philosophy of V. Solovyov. Thanks to this combination of thoughts and feelings of the poet, it is filled with bright and mysterious symbols, an atmosphere of love and expectation.
Alexander Blok was one of the brightestrepresentatives of the Silver Age. Of the many currents, he chose symbolism and followed its foundations throughout its entire creative period. The poet is known in many countries thanks to the poem "The Stranger", which is translated into many languages, as well as the poem, which we will study in the article and do its analysis, - "I Enter Dark Temples"
Blok was born in a noble family, his mother and fatherwere educated, talented people. He inherited from his parents a love of literature and art. True, everything has two sides. The dark side of the medal of the genus Blok was a hereditary mental illness that was passed on through generations.
The first publication of the poet's poems was in 1903 in the Moscow journal Merezhkovsky, and from that moment he won the hearts of readers with his light syllable, hiding symbols and images that are not always available.
The poem was created in 1902.According to literary critics, this time was a period of the poet's sublime love for his future wife - Lyubov Mendeleev (the daughter of Mendeleev himself who discovered the table of chemical elements), and his dedication to the concept of the philosopher Solovyov about higher femininity and divine essence of love for a woman. These two motifs are woven into one and created a poem "I Enter Dark Temples". The divine principle of love and the divine feminine principle create the invisible image of the poet's “Eternal Wife”. His feelings are bright, spiritual. His love also bears a platonic, non-material form. Favorite is compared to a deity, it is invisible and inaccessible to the eye, but the author, calling her “Honey, you!”, Says that she has long been acquainted with her, her image is familiar and close to him, and such a mystical date fascinates, surprises, attracts attention and does not leave the reader indifferent.
The poem describes a wondrous expectation, a premonition of meeting with the "Beautiful Lady" soon. The author's love inspires him; the dark, cold walls of the temple are filled with the joy of waiting.
What is this temple?Recall that the author belonged to the symbolists, which means that the concept here is not factual, but symbolic. Perhaps the dark temple symbolizes the soul of the poet. Darkness is not darkness, but twilight of waiting. The red lamp symbolizes love, the fire of which has only just caught fire, but is already tormented by its anticipation.
А Та, которую он ждет?Who is she, the "Great Eternal Wife"? Most likely, here, as in The Stranger, we are talking about the image of a beloved poet. He still does not see her, but he already feels and waits. The word "used" says that this expectation is not in the news, he used to wait for it, the image in the heart shines like a lamp in the temple. “No sighs, no words are heard” to the poet, but he knows that he is near, and soon she will be with him.
The atmosphere of poetry falls upon the reader withfirst lines. These are mysterious "dark temples", severity, asceticism with an admixture of anticipation, foreboding. "The shaking of the squeak of doors" gives out tension, high notes of waiting contrast with darkness and shadows. Red lampadas make it sharp, it seems as if we are together with the author and, just like him, we are waiting for his wonderful Damu.
Довольно трудным и неоднозначным может быть analysis "I enter the dark temples." The symbolist block does not reveal to us which temples we are talking about, but its task is not to tell, but to let us feel its poetry. In this poem, his plan was a success. The feeling of anticipation merges with the mystical sense of the presence of the image of the beloved author nearby. She is invisible, not audible, but the poet knows that she will come to this dark temple, filled with shadows of doubt, and will easily dispel them.
Silver Age poets created realdiamonds of poetry. Decades pass, and their poems are still relevant and bright. These poets include Alexander Blok. "I enter dark temples" with its wondrous atmosphere of expectation, languor and joy from the awareness of the meeting, which maybe only in a dream - an amazing poem about love and expectation, about the spiritual beginning of feelings and about the bright dream of a loved one.
