There is in the initial autumn
A short but wonderful time -
The whole day is like crystal,
And the evenings are radiant...

Where the cheerful sickle walked and the ear fell,
Now everything is empty - space is everywhere, -
Only a web of thin hair
Glistens on the idle furrow.

The air is empty, the birds are no longer heard,
But the first winter storms are still far away -
And pure and warm azure flows
To the resting field...

Analysis of the poem “There is in the original autumn” by Tyutchev

F. Tyutchev became famous for his ability to convey elusive moments associated with the Russian landscape. His poems are like superb photographs taken at the most opportune moments. The poet surprisingly accurately found the right angle and time. In 1857, he wrote the poem “There is in the original autumn...”, dedicated to the most beautiful and short-lived autumn time - Indian summer. The work was written by the poet in a surge of inspiration while observing the autumn landscape from the carriage.

Autumn is traditionally considered a period of fading vitality, a premonition of the inevitable winter with its severe frosts. Therefore, many poets were attracted to the special autumn period - Indian summer. After the first dull autumn rains and frosts, it is a bright farewell reminder of the past happy summer days. Indian summer is a short respite from nature, taken before the next severe test.

Tyutchev focuses the reader’s attention on the fact that Indian summer suddenly stops the process of withering and for some time fixes nature in an unchanged state, allowing you to fully enjoy its beauty. One can feel the incredible fragility of this state (“the whole day is like crystal”). A person is given time to gather his strength before the long Russian winter, and once again plunge into the atmosphere of the past summer.

Tyutchev turns to images of simple village labor, harvesting and harvesting. Along with the last warm days, the difficult time of suffering also ended. Autumn is a period of taking stock. It is no coincidence that weddings were traditionally celebrated in Rus' at this time. Indian summer becomes a respite for the peasantry.

Tyutchev's close attention to every detail is clearly represented in the image of the “fine hair of a spider's web.” This element of the landscape, insignificant in itself, very succinctly and accurately conveys the feeling of peace that unites nature with man.

The poet encourages readers to make the most of the respite provided. Nothing can interfere with the calm contemplation of nature: loud sounds have disappeared (“birds can no longer be heard”), bright colors have dimmed. Severe winter storms are still a long way off, so they seem unrealistic. The author does not specifically mention autumn bad weather and mud. He wants the best memories of autumn to be preserved in his memory.

Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev is a great poet who made a huge contribution to the formation and development of the literary movement in landscape poetry. He sang the delights of nature in an unusually melodious language.

The author was born in December 1803 in the Oryol province. He received his primary education at home. He really liked Latin, as well as the poetry of Ancient Rome. Upon reaching fifteen years of age, he is sent to study at a university located in Moscow - in a department that deals with literature.

He stayed at the university until 1821. Then he gets a job at the Foreign Affairs Collegium. Here he is appointed a diplomat and sent to work in Munich. The poet spends just over 22 years in Germany and then in Italy. It is here that he meets his great love, Eleanor. In their marriage they have three daughters. The second marriage will happen later, after the death of the first wife. This time the diplomat's chosen one will be Ernestine.

The creative path of Fyodor Ivanovich is divided into three periods. The first stage dates back to earlier years - 1810-1820. At this time, he writes light and relaxed works, which are archaic and not quite similar to the works of that time. In the second period, the lyrics become of better quality, especially when the author lives abroad.

There is also a third period of Tyutchev’s creativity. It dates back to a later time, when the poet, wise with life experience, fell in love as a young man and literally showered his chosen one with poems, both praising and sorrowful texts.

Analysis of the poem “There is in the original autumn...”

The work entitled “There is in the original autumn...” was presented to critics for review in the distant 57th year of the nineteenth century, namely on August 22. The work was created spontaneously, during the return of Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev to Moscow. He was traveling with his daughter and was so inspired by the surrounding nature that he easily wrote lines in his notebook.

This work refers to lyrics created in adulthood. At the time of writing the masterpiece, Fyodor Ivanovich was already 54 years old, and he had a great and fruitful experience behind him. The work was first published in 1858. It was published by a well-known magazine at that time called “Russian Conversation”.

The sketch presented to the public was very much liked for its lyricism. This describes the autumn period of the year at the very beginning. This is the time that people call “Indian summer”.

The fact that it was the beginning of autumn outside is indicated by the epithet – initial. It creates a special thoughtfulness and mood, allowing the reader to recreate in his imagination the beginning of the autumn season. Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev is considered a recognized master. He was able to convey in the most colorful way precisely the period that personifies the change of summer to the next season. Here is a fine line between the blooming summer and the beginning of autumn.

Features of nature in the work

It is worth noting that one of the key roles in the poem is played by all sorts of epithets used by the author. They allow you to reveal the finest facets of natural nature as accurately as possible. Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev calls this time of year in a special way, calling it wondrous. Thus, the author tries to show the reader that nature is not only beautiful, but also especially unusual during the days of Indian summer. Such a time is especially attractive and fascinates with its beauty. Indian summer is a kind of gift to a person and a farewell gesture, indicating the imminent departure of summer.

No less interesting is the epithet used called “crystal”. It points to the special play of light during the passing days. At the same time, it can also be attributed to the transparency of the blue sky, which is gradually losing its color, personifying the summer period of the year. In a word, the crystal author tries to convey the exceptional sonority of the day in the autumn period. Thus, a certain fragility of the surrounding nature is created, which is about to lose its original beauty.

It is worth paying special attention to the epithet – radiant evenings. This phrase conveys to the reader that more and more new colors are constantly appearing in nature, which are created under the influence of the setting sun. At this time, the entire earth is illuminated with a special warm light. The whole picture is anchored by the transparent and clear sky, which celebrates the arrival of the autumn period.

It should be noted that the relationship between natural nature and a person’s life path presented in the poem “There is in the original autumn...” is inherent in almost all of Fyodor Ivanovich’s lyrics. The work pays special attention to the field, which is reinforced by metonymies, for example, the falling ear and the walking sickle.

Features of the third stanza of the poem

The third stanza of the work “There is in the original autumn...” is especially interesting. There is a kind of reminder here that winter will soon come, and with it will come winter storms.

The masterpiece contains an exclamation from the lyrical hero. Tyutchev points to a certain emptiness, which is motivated by ringing silence. Such lines bring only peace and complete tranquility. The author notes that both natural nature and man himself sooner or later need a break in order to truly enjoy the silence, as well as the harmony spreading throughout the space.

The lines compare the autumn period with sunset, which at some point appears on the path of almost every person. Fyodor Ivanovich does not mark the period of aging, but the time that is commonly called maturity. This is a period confirmed by the wisdom gained over time.

The author tries to cover with his special lyrical gaze the entire surrounding space - these are empty beautiful fields, and various little things, for example, a thin hair of a cobweb. After accepting and studying the past years on the path of life, people begin to feel these moments as acutely as possible. They understand their role, as well as their belonging to the world around them, their special unity with nature.

All this allows you to convey the atmosphere of autumn as accurately as possible and create transparency in your imagination, which can inspire a slight sadness and sorrow in your soul.

The work “There is in the original autumn...” consists of three stanzas that are harmoniously combined with each other. All of them are written using iambic meter. It should be noted that the two-syllable foot has an accent located on the second syllable.

It should also be noted that the entire rhythm in the work is very musical. Here both female and male rhymes alternate in the correct sequence. They can be either long or short, creating a certain feeling of impermanence and fragility associated with the beauty of natural nature.

The entire work is presented to the reader in the form of three sentences. The lines contain repetitions of ellipses, which create a special atmosphere for reflection. After reading, you are left with a feeling of understatement that can draw all sorts of associations in your imagination.

The work contains not only epithets, but also many other means of expression; it is worth considering the main ones:

Metaphor – azure is pouring, which is clean and warm.

Comparison - the day stands still, as if it were crystal.

The personification is the hair of a thin web.

Atiteza is everything empty, a walking sickle.

Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev in his work “There is in the original autumn...” used a special type of metonymy, called synecdoche. This is a walking sickle, a falling ear, and a thin web of hair. Such things greatly strengthen the whole meaning of the work. They give weight to the lines and make them stand out from the crowd.

Tyutchev is able to sensitively understand natural nature. That is why he was able to show the fading season, which will captivate with its beauty. Early autumn in his work is filled with various inspired images that embody the harmony of peace and tranquility.

Lesson summary on analyzing poetic text

Goals: continue to develop students’ ability to read and perceive landscape poetry; skills of analyzing poetic text.

DURING THE CLASSES

1. The teacher’s word about the poet.

Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev spent almost twenty years abroad, working in the Russian diplomatic mission. When he returned to Russia, he settled in St. Petersburg, occasionally visiting his native village of Ovstug in the Bryansk province. Such trips helped Tyutchev to experience the joy and beauty of Russian nature in a new way.

On August 22, 1857, the poet and his daughter Maria set off from Ovstug to Moscow. The road was tiring, father and daughter were dozing. And suddenly he took from her hands a piece of paper with a list of postal stations and travel expenses and on the back of it began to quickly write:

There is in the initial autumn
A short but wonderful time -
The whole day is like crystal,
And the evenings are radiant...

Where the cheerful sickle walked and the ear fell,
Now everything is empty - space is everywhere -
Only a web of thin hair
Glistens on the idle furrow.

Maria, seeing her father’s hand trembling impatiently, and the stroller bouncing on potholes preventing him from writing, takes a pencil and paper from him and, under his dictation, finishes the poem:

The air is empty, the birds are no longer heard,
But the first winter storms are still far away -
And pure and warm azure flows
To the resting field...

2. Analysis of the poem.

We analyze the poem during the conversation, writing down the main thoughts in a notebook.

In the poem “There is in the original autumn...” Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev conveys to the reader his mood, his travel impressions of the autumn landscape, his thoughts.

– How many stanzas is the poem divided into? What does each stanza say?

In the first quatrain, the poet describes the picture of nature that he sees. In the second stanza, he remembers the time of the harvest, and then carefully peers into the cobwebs on the stubble (on an idle furrow). In the third stanza, he says that winter storms are ahead, but now the poet does not want to think about them and is enjoying the last warmth.

– What epithets does the poet use?

To create a mood of gentle sadness and solemnity, Tyutchev uses expressive epithets: in the primordial autumn, a wondrous time, a vigorous sickle, on an idle furrow (on idle- that is, on a vacationer on whom work has been completed), clear and warm azure, resting field.

Finding metaphors: the sickle walked, the azure flowed. The poet compares the web to a hair: only the cobwebs of thin hair shine; he calls blue sky azure. We, following the poet, imagine the field as a large resting person.

Nature froze in anticipation, and only two verbs help convey the state of peace in the first quatrain: There is And costs.

– What is the rhyming method in these stanzas? What does it help convey? Observe the length of the lines.

We imagine that the poet looks thoughtfully at the autumn field and reflects leisurely. This state of thoughtfulness is conveyed by a different way of rhyming (in the first stanzas the rhyme is cross, in the third it is circular, or encircling), different lengths of the lines: long lines of 10 syllables rhyme with shorter ones of 8 syllables, lines of 11 syllables rhyme with lines of 9 syllables. Shorter lines follow long ones, the rhythm seems to be lost, and this creates the impression that the person is tired and wants to rest.

The air is empty, the birds are no longer heard, (11 syllables)

But the first winter storms are still far away - (12 syllables)

And pure and warm azure flows (11 syllables)

To a resting field... (9 syllables)

Describing an autumn day, Tyutchev conveys to readers the beauty of nature, the mood of sadness and peace.

DURING THE CLASSES

1. A word about the poet(student says).

Born F.I. Tyutchev in the very heart of Russia - in the village of Ovstug, Bryansk district, Oryol province, in a noble family in 1803.

There is in the initial autumn
A short but wonderful time -

And the evenings are radiant...

Only a web of thin hair

To the resting field...

August 1857

After many years of living abroad, the Tyutchev family settled in the capital, St. Petersburg. And in the summer, the family went to the village to relax.

Teacher's additions.

The poem that we will read today was written on August 22, 1857, on the way from Ovstug to Moscow. The first autograph is written in pencil on the back of a sheet of paper with a list of postage costs. The poem was first published in 1858 in the magazine “Russian Conversation” and was included in the collection of poems of 1868.

Let's listen to the poem and try to imagine the picture drawn by the poet.

2. Expressive reading of a poem by a teacher or listening to it on an audio cassette.

3. Analysis of the poem.(Conversation, linguistic analysis of the poem.)

What picture did you see in your mind?

What do you think the poem is about?

In the poem we saw a picture of early autumn. But it seems to me that it is not only about that. Like any real work of art, it has several meanings. Let's try to find others, those that are not immediately revealed to the reader, but require painstaking, hard work and efforts of our mind, heart and imagination at the same time.

The poem does not have a title, which means we will call it by the first line - “There is in the primordial autumn...”.

What do you think, what could Tyutchev call this poem? ? (“Autumn”, “Early Autumn”, “Golden Autumn”.)

But for some reason the poet refused these options. Why do you think?

(Because, probably, I wanted to talk not only about autumn, but also about something else.)

In the absence of a title, or, as it is called in science, with a zero title, we must pay special attention to the first line - “There is in the initial autumn...”. For us it will be the title of the poem. In the first place, in a strong position, the line contains the word There is.

What does it mean?

(Eat- means “exists, happens, exists.”)

What part of speech does the word belong to? There is?

(This is a verb. It is in the 3rd person singular, and its initial form is be.)

Does it name the action as temporary or permanent? That which is, exists, exists constantly, always, regardless of any reasons. And this short, capacious word immediately gives us the opportunity to think, to reflect on something eternal, independent of man.

In second place in the line - in autumn.

How do you understand the meaning of the word autumn?

(This is the time of year that comes after summer.)

Linguistic scientists have noticed that in language there are words that, in addition to their meaning, can evoke in our minds many associations and comparisons; they can, as it were, “awaken” our imagination. Such words include the word autumn. In addition to the time of year, it also marks the time when people harvest, when the warmth gives way to the first cold weather. And therefore the word autumn is a designation, a symbol of life falling asleep in nature. After all, at this time everything in nature is preparing for a long winter sleep and peace.

But there are several stages in autumn. Tyutchev in the very first line in a strong position (end of the line) puts the word that names this stage - original.

How do you understand the meaning of this word?

(“First”, “initial, new”, “early” - about autumn.)

We, of course, understand the meaning of “first”, “initial”, “new”, “early”, since the words are synonymous.

Why did Tyutchev choose the word for the poem initial? How is it different from other words? (All further work requires constant reference to explanatory dictionaries).

(The word original has two roots: first- And -began-.)

This word has two synonymous roots that define early autumn twice. This means that it was important for the author to draw our attention precisely to this characteristic of autumn.

Such a long, or polysyllabic, in contrast to monosyllabic ones, is more solemn.

“In Tyutchev’s poems, such “long” and solemn words help from the very beginning to switch the reader’s perception “to a high wave”, transfer it to an unusual, non-prosaic dimension.” ( Maymin E.A.. Russian philosophical poetry: Lyubomudry poets, A.S. Pushkin, F.I. Tyutchev. M., 1976)

Why did the poet need to “translate” our reader’s perception into such an unusual dimension?

(Tyutchev wanted us to think, but this is a long word initial enhances thinking. It creates a mood of reflection in the readers.)

An interesting fact that researchers of Tyutchev’s work drew attention to: it turns out that the poet very often used long words in his poems. Almost everyone has one or two polysyllabic ones, i.e. long words, and often the poet seemed to be trying to decorate the poem with words.

(Very slowly, deliberately, thinking.)

This line sets a slow, solemn rhythm for the entire poem.

There is in the initial autumn
A short but wonderful time -
The whole day is like crystal,
And the evenings are radiant...

Second line – A short but wonderful time. Please note: two definitions of autumn, and a short word between them But.

What part of speech is it?

(But- this is an alliance. In a simple sentence, a conjunction can connect homogeneous members of a sentence and shows the difference, the difference in what they mean.)

But contrasts the meanings of two words with each other.

A short but wonderful time– which one is this? How do you understand the meaning of the line?

(This time in autumn is special, because it is both amazingly beautiful and very short. And therefore, very dear to each of us.)

There are only a few such days in nature. She gives them to us before the long cold winter, so that we remember this marvelous it's been a long, long time. Every person understands this, that’s why he wants to remember, to capture these days in his memory. He strives to absorb as fully as possible the last, quickly disappearing warmth and the last beauty of autumn nature.

The whole day is like crystal,
And the evenings are radiant...

Pay attention to the nouns in the third and fourth lines: day And evenings.

In what form are they used?

(Noun day is in singular form, and the noun evenings- in plural.)

Maybe the poet was mistaken: after all, there are not only many evenings, but also days, which means it would be necessary to say days?

(Word day in the singular, so we seem to see the separateness, the peculiarity of each day.

The singular form, as it were, enlarges the object, makes it special, distinguishes it from the rest.)

Listen to the line:... the day is like crystal. What artistic technique does the author use here? (Comparison.)

Why as if, but not How?

(Using as if the comparison is mild. It seems that the poet is not imposing it on anyone, it just seems so to him.)

And for us, the readers, this as if as if he allows you to choose your own comparisons. And this series can be continued. The day... seems like a crystal day- an amazing author's comparison. Crystal- this is a “genus, type of glass.”

What do they have in common?

(The day is as clear and transparent as crystal, because the autumn air is gradually becoming colder.)

(An autumn day is as ringing as crystal, because the sound travels far and is clearly audible.)

(The day is fragile, like crystal. We understand that autumn weather is fickle, the wind can blow at any time and the silence, peace, and serenity will end.)

You did a great job explaining the meaning of the comparison. day... as if it were crystal.

Why evenings radiant?

(This word is long and consists of two roots - -Ray- And -zar-.)

From the point of view of word formation, this is correct. Once upon a time these two roots were truly understood. But from the point of view of the current state of the Russian language, this is one root -radiant-. What does the word mean? radiant?

(Light, clear, warm.)

Yes. And the plural form makes us feel that there are many such evenings, they follow one after another, so that each of us can finally enjoy them.

The first stanza ends with an ellipsis. What does the ellipsis convey?

(The ellipsis is an important sign for the poet, because it has a lot of meaning. Firstly, this picture is day... like a crystal day And radiant evenings– is indescribably beautiful, and we ourselves can imagine it in even more detail. Secondly, the ellipsis means a long pause between stanzas, since the second stanza tells about something else. This sign prepares us for the perception of the next thought.)

Read the first stanza expressively.

Now listen to the second stanza.

Where the cheerful sickle walked and the ear fell,
Now everything is empty - space is everywhere -
Only a web of thin hair
Glistens on the idle furrow.

What did you imagine while listening to this stanza?

(A field where work is in full swing. It is in full swing because the sickle is named by the word cheerful, those. lively, active, frisky.)

(And also because the action of the sickle was not to sting, not to work, but to walk. In this word - the way he worked - “easily, cheerfully, playfully.”)

Right. This line repeats the use of nouns sickle, ear in the singular. Explain this.

(Here the poet specifically uses the singular form, although we understand that there are many objects at play. We also feel the “weight, singularity” of each object important to the poet.)

In the second line, words that denote space are deliberately “collected” nearby.

Name and comment on them.

(Empty and spacious.)

These words depict a vast space not covered by the eye. And the following words reinforce the impression of vastness: All And everywhere.

The third line begins with the word only. Explain its meaning.

(Only means "only". This is a particle that distinguishes in the text the description of an idle furrow against the backdrop of boundless space. This is “the web of fine hair glitters...”)

What do you “see” with your inner vision?

(Very long threads of the web. They stretch very far from object to object.)

Tyutchev in this line is a very subtle observer. Let's think about how we could write about this phenomenon differently.

(Cobweb, thread of cobweb.)

But the poet chose cobwebs thin hair. Why? After all, in words web And thread cobwebs there is already an indication of the “subtlety” of the web. So it's all in the word hair.

(A person has hair. And if a poet adds this word to a line, then the thin hair of a spider’s web turns out like a person’s. Meanings of words fine hair spider web leads us to the idea that the poet wrote not only about early autumn, but also about man. The artistic device used here is personification.)

This phrase is really very important for understanding all the meanings of the poem. Why?

(We begin to understand that the poem is not only about nature, but also about people, about man.)

Look carefully at the first stanza and find a word in it that seems to “echo” with thin hair of a spider's web.

(This word autumn, after all, it also denotes the late period of human life.)

Think about what time in a person’s life can we say: spring of life, summer of life, autumn of life?

(About childhood, about youth, about maturity, about old age.)

Each of us understands this perfectly well, and the poet only helps us to feel in a new way words that seem understandable and familiar from childhood.

Pay attention to the words in the fourth line on an idle furrow. How do you understand them?

(Idle- means “empty”. No one works there.)

In modern Russian, this word means “free from business, activities, spending time in idleness, idleness.” The meaning “unoccupied by anyone or anything, not filled, empty, empty” is considered obsolete. And in the 19th century this was almost the main meaning of the word. In definition idle There were also such shades of meaning as “alien from worries and worries, immersed in peace.”

L.N. Tolstoy, admiring the poem by F.I. Tyutchev, especially highlighted this phrase. And about the epithet idle the writer noted: “Here this word idle It’s as if it’s meaningless and it’s impossible to say that without poetry, but meanwhile this word immediately says that the work is finished, everything has been removed, and the full impression is obtained.”

(The first line is at a fast tempo, energetically, and the second, third and fourth line is slow, thoughtful.)

And from these words we ourselves experience a feeling of peace, serenity, warmth. This poem gives us the opportunity to reflect on the eternal.

In the last line of the poem, the words that are in a strong position, and therefore very important for the poet, are: resting field.

What field can you say this about?

(On which no work is carried out anymore. And before it was touched by human hands, so the field here is a humanized land (sickle, ear, furrow), spiritualized. Moreover, the field is a part of the earth that is covered by the gaze of the observer, the thinker.)

We read the entire poem carefully.

How will you now answer the question, what is it about?

(In the poem, the poet spoke not only about the wonderful time of early autumn, but also about the “autumn” time in the life of any person.)

(Tyutchev wrote that in our lives there is always a time of peace, although then a time of “storms” may come. This is inevitable. But a person must accept it humbly, wisely, calmly.)

Get ready for an expressive reading of the poem.

Samples of written work from 10th grade students

1. How I imagine the “wonderful time” of autumn based on the poem by F.I. Tyutchev “There is in the primordial autumn...”.

Tyutchev is a master of poetic landscapes. But in his poems, glorifying natural phenomena, there is no thoughtless admiration. Nature evokes in the poet reflections on the mysteries of the universe, on the eternal questions of human existence. In Tyutchev’s works, nature is not presented as a background, it is animated and feels.

The poem does not have a title, which gives it a deeper meaning. The poem tells about the autumn season, which begins not only in nature, but also in the human soul.

The author uses such artistic means as comparison (the whole day is like crystal...), personification (where the cheerful sickle walked). This gives expressiveness to speech and contributes to a more complete disclosure of the artistic image. Sentences with ellipses indicate the incompleteness of the poet’s thoughts. The author makes the reader think and reflect.

When reading the poem, one imagines an autumn sunny day in early autumn. Mid Indian summer.

Autumn, as we know, is the time of harvest. In the poem, Tyutchev shows the fields where work was in full swing recently:

Where the cheerful sickle walked and the ear fell,
Now everything is empty - space is everywhere...
Only a web of thin hair
Glistens on the idle furrow.

The air is empty, the birds are no longer heard,
But the first winter storms are still far away -
And pure and warm azure flows
To a resting field.

(Alexandra Chepel)

2. “Wonderful time” of early autumn from the window of my house. (Based on the poem by F.I. Tyutchev “There is in the original autumn...”)

Autumn. What a wonderful time of year it is! Nature begins to prepare for bed, but this does not stop her from being beautiful. The sky turns blue-blue. Even in summer it is not always possible to see such a clear and beautiful sky. And the sun... It shines so brightly and cheerfully, as if it wants to give us all the best before hiding behind the gray clouds of the upcoming cold, rainy and cloudy days. Despite the fact that the trees shed their dresses, and the leaves are already lying on the ground, forming a colorful carpet, nature becomes even more beautiful.

How nice it is to watch this picture from the window of your home or while walking through the autumn forest. This picture makes your soul feel light and pleasant. But at the same time, it’s sad because these are the last warm days, and then the cold gray days of autumn will come and a harsh (judging by the signs) winter will come.

“Indian summer” (as this period of autumn is popularly called) is one bright moment among the dull autumn days. And it’s sad that among the bustle of people, many sometimes do not notice this beauty. After all, every moment, every instant that nature gives to a person, leaves an indelible impression in the soul, some kind of trace, some kind of association. This is exactly what the wonderful Russian poet F.I. wanted to draw our attention to. Tyutchev.

(Anastasia Zaplatkina)

3. “Wonderful time” of early autumn from the window of my house. (Based on the poem by F.I. Tyutchev “There is in the original autumn...”).

“In the original autumn there is a short but wonderful time,” wrote F.I. Tyutchev. “But what’s so wonderful about this time of year?” - you ask. Indeed, what can be beautiful about the fact that birds fly south, that you can’t hear birdsong, as happens in the spring, that there is slush and dirt on the street, that it constantly rains and cold winds blow. But there is a period in the fall called “Indian summer.” It's only ten days or a little more. It is about this autumn period that F.I. writes in his poem. Tyutchev.

Try waking up on an early autumn morning and looking out the window! You will see how the rays of the recently awakened sun mysteriously and slowly glide over the treetops. A round dance of leaves swirls in the air. The leaves, like colorful confetti, slowly fall to the ground, forming a soft carpet. And looking at the light blue sky, you will truly feel peace and tranquility. But, unfortunately, such beautiful days do not last long in the fall. Most often the weather is cloudy. But that’s not a problem either! Light the stove and listen to the cheerful crackling of the burning logs and the raindrops knocking on the window.

For me, autumn is a time when you can at least a little forget about life’s difficulties and dream about the future.

And yet, you shouldn’t stay at home in the fall: it’s better to dress warmly and go into the forest, pick mushrooms, and watch how the animals are preparing for the onset of a harsh winter. Autumn is an amazing time of year.

(Luiza Kabirova)

T.V. SOROKINA,
Ulyanovsk region

There is in the initial autumn
A short but wonderful time -
Transparent air, crystal day,
And the evenings are radiant...

Where the cheerful sickle walked and the ear fell,
Now everything is empty - space is everywhere -
Only a web of thin hair
Glistens on the idle furrow...

The air is empty, the birds are no longer heard,
But the first winter storms are still far away -
And pure and warm azure flows
To the resting field...

Analysis of Tyutchev’s poem “There is in the original autumn...”

The landscape lyrics of Fyodor Tyutchev are a special world, recreated by the poet on the basis of personal impressions. However, it is recreated so accurately and vividly that each work allows readers to take a short journey through the endless fields and forests that the imagination draws after each line written by the poet.

Fyodor Tyutchev did not like autumn, believing that this time of year symbolizes the withering and death of living nature. However, he could not help but admire the beauty of the trees dressed in golden headdresses, the thick silvery clouds and the slenderness of the crane wedge, which heads its way to the southern regions. True, the poet was interested not so much in the process of transformation of nature, but in that short moment when she freezes for a while, preparing to try on a new hypostasis. It was to this elusive moment that the author dedicated his poem “There is in the original autumn...”, created in August 1857.

Autumn has not yet come into its own, but its approach is felt with every breath of wind. This amazing time is popularly called Indian summer - the last warm gift of nature, which is preparing for hibernation. “The whole day is as if it were crystal clear and the evenings are radiant,” this is how Fyodor Tyutchev characterizes these still summer-like hot days, in which, nevertheless, the distinct breath of autumn is already felt.

Its approach is evidenced by the “web of fine hair” that glitters in the furrow of a long-harvested field, as well as the extraordinary space and silence that fills the air. Even “the birds are no longer heard,” as happens on an early summer morning, as the feathered creatures are busy preparing for the upcoming cold weather. However, the author notes that “the first snow storms are still a long way off,” deliberately skipping that period of autumn, which is famous for rain, chilly cold winds and bare trees that shed their leaves.

Tyutchev repeatedly noted that autumn in its classical manifestation makes him sad, reminding him that human life also has its ending. And if the poet could, he would gladly change the structure of the world in order to erase from it the period of slow dying of nature. That is why the poet preferred to spend the autumn abroad, escaping the dull Russian landscape. Nevertheless, the last days of the passing summer gave Tyutchev great pleasure, giving him a feeling of joy and peace.

This festive and solemn mood is clearly felt in the poem “There is in the original autumn...”. A short Indian summer, filled with sun and silence, evokes in the poet a feeling of the completion of another stage of life, but is not identified with death. Therefore, “original autumn,” warm and welcoming, is perceived by Fyodor Tyutchev as a short respite before the change of seasons. This is a period of summing up and rethinking life values.. Therefore, the poet associates it not with approaching old age, which, like autumn, is inevitable, but with maturity, wisdom and life experience, which allow the author to avoid serious mistakes in making decisions that are important to him, which require calm reflection. In addition, Indian summer for Fyodor Tyutchev is an opportunity to feel truly free and enjoy the harmony of nature, which seems to have frozen in anticipation of the coming cold, rushing to give the world the last colors of summer with its fragrant herbs, bottomless blue sky, warm wind, empty and from this the seemingly vast fields, as well as the bright sun, which no longer burns, but only gently caresses the skin.
