- Annotation: This article analyses the poems dedicated to spring, summer, autumn, winter. The study of seasonal lyrics by Konstantin Sluchevsky reveals the connection of the lyrical hero of his works with the emotional state and philosophical reflections of the “timelessnessˮ era human. The author of the article reveals both traditional and innovative approaches to creating landscape lyrics, analyses “cross-cutting motifs”, eternal themes, mythopoetic images of “river”, “water”, “sun”, “earth”, “world of treesˮ. The study draws attention to the specific style of the poet – the complicated construction of metaphors, the use of sound writing, the personification of natural phenomena, endowing traditional poetic images with non-traditional properties. The author of the article proves that the cycle “About Natureˮ can be considered as a reflection of Sluchevsky’s philosophical position, who perceives life in all its versatility and completeness. The poet reflects the tragic perception of the earthly existence of human and the inevitability of death in many works. At the same time, his works contain both the motif of resignation to the inevitability of suffering and readiness to calmly accept them, as well as a romantic aspiration to other “happy”, but “foreign” worlds, an understanding of death as a possible liberation of a person from the shackles of tragic earthly existence.
- Keywords: 19th century Russian poetry, seasonal lyrics, mythopoetics & archetypes in literature, philosophical lyrics, “timelessness” era literature.
