"I remember wonderful moment"one of the most important works in the lyrics of A.S. Pushkin. Today they learn about this poem from school desks, because it has not lost its popularity. The poem is a frank confession of the poet's unbridled feelings for Anna Kern, who was famous person Petersburg and was known as an extraordinary beauty. The poet wrote this masterpiece in July 1825, and it was published by a friend of Pushkin A.A. Delvig only in 1827 in the collection "Northern Flowers".
Love and passion are the main themes that the author deals with in his works. Many works of the poet have been devoted to this subject. In this poem, Pushkin describes his attitude towards the young beauty, whom he saw at a secular reception in 1819 at the Olenins. Since then, there was no peace in Pushkin's heart, it burned with passion for years. The southern exile violated the opportunity to see his beloved, which the poet recalls in the work. But returning to the village of Mikhailovskoye, he again sees Anna Kern in the nearby Trigorskoye estate at a reception. Feelings flared up with new force. Unfortunately, relations between young people did not work out, because Anna considered Pushkin only as a promising poet. Pushkin even proposed to her after she divorced her first husband, but was refused.
The main theme of the poem
From the first lines of the poem, it becomes clear that it is overflowing with bright, pure, sincere feelings of love for a woman. it main topic works. There are no portrait characteristics of Pushkin's object of adoration here. He gives short description to his beloved: "genius pure beauty". The poem is composed of three parts, each of which describes different period time with a certain mood.
In the first part, the poet mentions the feelings that he experienced when he met his beloved: “a wonderful moment”, “a fleeting vision”. The use of gentle epithets allows the reader to feel the feelings of the author. The second part of the verse speaks of the dull period of exile and imprisonment of the poet, in which he could not feel anything, forgetting about the sweet features of his beloved woman. But in the third part, feelings are resurrected with renewed vigor, the poet's soul comes to life again. He can experience the same sensations as before: "both life, and tears, and love." Back to the author mental strength because love is the most important thing in his life.
“I remember a wonderful moment” can rightfully be called an ode to love for a woman whose beauty is comparable to a genius, that is, a spirit, a model, a standard. Love is described here, which neither years of separation, nor bondage, nor mental torment could appease.
Structural analysis of the poem
The artistic means used by the author are the use of epithets. The poem contains a single metaphor, which confuses critics, because this did not affect the emotional richness of the poem and its lyricism. The poet uses some more comparisons: "the genius of pure beauty", "a fleeting vision".
The composition of the poem divides it into three parts. They differ in emotional richness. The mention of the first line at the beginning and at the end of the poem is called a ring composition. The chosen genre of the work is a form of a message, a confession of feelings. The poem can be called autobiographical, it clearly highlights the periods of Pushkin's life: his stay in St. Petersburg, the Southern exile, his stay in the Mikhailovskoye family estate. In the text, the author intertwines tender feelings with philosophical thoughts.
The verse is written in iambic pentameter. Cross rhyming was used - with alternating male and feminine rhymes. Each stanza has a clear meaning and completeness of thought. Due to the melody and ease of perception, the poem has been reproduced more than once as a romance. The most famous romance is a piece of music by M.I. Glinka.
This poem is considered a masterpiece in poetry. It reveals the sincere feelings of the poet, which makes it possible for future generations to learn about sensuality, tenderness, the meaning of life, which lies in love. On the example of a poem, you can understand what it means to truly love.
According to the well-known critic N. Skatov, “no one, before or after Pushkin, has created in Russian poetry anything like Pushkin’s image of love... Love is in its infancy, in development, in its formation, in obsolescence, love in the most diverse states.. .". One of these fleeting states, unique particles of being, the poet captured in the poem "I remember a wonderful moment."
This message was written under the influence of the poet's passion for the young beauty, Anna Petrovna Kern. He first saw her in St. Petersburg in 1819. Then, a few years later, they were destined to meet again. It was then that these lines were born: “I remember a wonderful moment: You appeared before me ...”
However, of course, we cannot consider this message in a purely biographical terms - this would simplify the meaning and content of it. As Ya. Skatov notes, "K ***" in this case“delicate concealment of a certain person. Here there is an appeal to ... high, heavenly and immense ... ". Yes, and the very image of the heroine in Pushkin is described in fragments, devoid of any characteristic, recognizable features. “A fleeting vision”, “a genius of pure beauty”, “gentle voice”, “cute features”, “heavenly features”, “deity” - we are presented with a certain ideal, perfection.
The action in the poem begins from a small moment, from one page in the life of the lyrical hero:
I remember a wonderful moment:
You appeared before me
Like a fleeting vision
Like a genius of pure beauty.
Then, through feelings and emotions, we are more and more immersed in this life, in its atmosphere, clarifying for ourselves at the same time the inner appearance of the hero:
In the languor of hopeless sadness,
In the anxieties of noisy bustle
And dreamed of cute features.
At the same time, the difficult fate of the hero is also clarified: “A storm of rebellious impulse Dispelled former dreams”, “In the wilderness, in the darkness of imprisonment, my days dragged on quietly.” It is worth noting that researchers often look for hints of Pushkin's biography in these lines. However, I think that to a greater extent we are talking about the very attitude of the poet. Life, devoid of love and beauty, for him can be compared with the "darkness of imprisonment", with spiritual captivity.
It is characteristic that in the hero's confession about "the languor of hopeless sadness", about the noisy vanity of life, about the blows of fate, the same, even, measured intonations are everywhere preserved. And suddenly fate sends an unexpected meeting And the intonations of the hero gradually begin to change: the quiet, calm joy of the meeting, compared with the awakening of the soul, suddenly turns into a sharp emotional outburst - all the feelings of the hero are alive in his soul, they break out and again embrace him with great force. And the triumphant voice of the lover no longer subsides, but rushes forward and upward, into heaven:
And the heart beats in rapture
And for him they rose again
And deity, and inspiration,
And life, and tears, and love.
Here arises the motive of newfound inspiration, delight, the newfound ability to enjoy life, of course, love here dominates all human feelings, determining all the states of the lyrical hero.
The message is written in iambic tetrameter; compositionally, two parts stand out in the poem. The first part is the difficult fate of the hero, his life "in the wilderness, in the darkness of imprisonment", "languor of hopeless sadness", imbued with the memory of a "wonderful moment", of his past impression. The second part is the real embodiment of the "wonderful moment" stored in memory.
As N. L. Stepanov notes, the semantic and melodic unity, the integrity of the poem is given by "intonational-syntactic catches and repetitions, creating ... the romance melodiousness of the verse." So, the same lines (“Like a fleeting vision, Like a genius of pure beauty”) are repeated in the first and fifth stanzas. The repetition of the epithet (“vociferous gentle”) is present in the second and third stanzas. We notice the similarity of epithets in the second and third stanzas: “cute features” - “heavenly features”.
In addition, we note the repetition of words in the fourth and sixth stanzas. In the past, the hero's life was gloomy and dull, "Without a deity, without inspiration, Without tears, without life, without love," - in the present, all feelings come to life, in the heart resurrects "And the deity, and inspiration, And life, and tears, and love". This repetition already emphasizes the contrast of the two parts, the contrast of the past and the present hero. However, in the finale, this opposition is removed, thanks to the repetition of the plot situation of the beginning. In this sense, we can speak of a ring composition.
The message uses inversion (“you appeared before me”), comparisons and emotional epithets (“Like a fleeting vision”, “like a genius of pure beauty”, “heavenly features”, “gentle voice”, “noisy vanity”), non-union (“ Without a deity, without inspiration, Without tears, without life, without love”), polyunion (“And a deity, and inspiration, And life, and tears, and love”), non-union complex and compound sentences.
"I remember a wonderful moment" is a masterpiece of Pushkin's love lyrics. This poem is about the eternal mystery of the Woman, about beauty, about the secrets of the human heart. But it is also a reflection on the vain and eternal, the thought of the capriciousness of fate, the vagaries of happiness. "Anxiety of noisy bustle" is a routine of everyday life, absorbing the feelings and impressions of the lyrical hero, layering in his mind new and new emotions. Love, beauty and inspiration - this is what is eternal and unchanging.

Artistic means of the poem

Pushkin epithets
"genius of pure beauty", "wonderful moment", "favorite features"
and sublime, and surprisingly harmonious.
The simplicity of the author's image is achieved, at first glance, by familiar, in ordinary words, but the special swiftness and passion is conveyed through metaphors. The poet’s love is not destroyed, only “old dreams” can be dispelled by “rebellious impulse storms”.
And the very image of the beloved appears to the poet "like a fleeting vision." These epithets turn the heroine into an unearthly, slightly mysterious, special creature, but at the same time real and tangible.
Interestingly, Pushkin borrowed the image of “pure beauty” from the poet’s teacher, V. Zhukovsky, which turns him into a literary quotation in this poem.
Separately, it should be noted the melodiousness of the work, which is achieved by syntactic means -
