Analysis of Severyanin's poem "Do not envy a friend." Analysis of the poem "Do not envy a friend" "Do not envy a friend" Igor Severyanin

One of the founders of Russian ego-futurism, Igor Severyanin, in his work really mixed the accents on his own person and often created odes for himself, not stinting on epithets. All this gave rise to a false perception of the poems of this poet, who had a very subtle artistic nature and was able to notice not only his own shortcomings, but also the vices of other people. True, he very rarely touched on this topic in his work, and one of the few poems that have a pronounced critical coloring is the work “Do not envy

Friend”, rendered in 1909.

It is still a mystery to whom this poem is dedicated. There is an opinion that the author simply turned to himself in the third person, as if warning against actions that he would later regret. If this is so, it is not difficult to guess what the poet feels about Konstantin Fofanov, whom he considers his teacher. However, the author pulls himself up and tries to extinguish in his soul not the brightest and best feelings that are caused by the friend's higher social position, his success in the literary field and material well-being.

To cool his own ardor, the northerner notes: “May his wealth, may his luck not erase the straps of your sandals.”

He encourages not only himself, but also those around him to confidently follow the chosen path and not look back at other people's achievements that cause envy. “Maybe bliss is at your doorstep, and perhaps need and crying await him,” indeed, these lines turn out to be prophetic, since in a few years Fofanov will die due to alcoholism, having squandered all his fortune, having lost his family and loved ones friends. Only Severyanin will be devoted to him until the very last moment, believing that it was thanks to this person that he managed to achieve at least some success in the literary field. However, compassion is not at all the feeling that, according to the poet, one should feel towards a friend. After all, it is much more important for him that close people do not express their sympathy in difficult times, but know how to rejoice when a person is at the top of fame and prosperity.

Therefore, Severyanin emphasizes: “Do not prevent a friend from rejoicing in success: this is a crime! This is an overkill!” In the understanding of the author, envy can destroy the strongest friendship, and there is no forgiveness for the culprit of this.

Bunin's poem "Evening" was written in 1909 and refers, at first glance, to landscape lyrics. Here the author describes a beautiful autumn evening filled with the last warmth of the sun: a bottomless sky, white clouds, clean air ...

Hope is sometimes the only thing that always remains with a person. No matter what hardships occur in his life, no matter how much pain the next day brings, you just need to believe in the onset of the best. Then it becomes at least a little easier to cope with difficulties. It is about hope that Alexander Blok tells in the poem “The girl sang in the church choir”. However, the author [...]

The works created by M. Yu. Lermontov over the thirty years of his work include not only the glorification of the Borodino victory and love for the motherland; in them he speaks of freedom, the fate of generations, the appointment of a poet, senseless bloodshed, the search for truth. And between these verses, sharp epigrams, poetic jokes, kind poems about love, and stories about [...] ...
This poem is called "Creativity", and it is taken from A. Akhmatova's cycle "Secrets of the Craft". Of course, here Akhmatova talks about creativity itself, and in the very first poem of this cycle about how inspiration comes to the poet. In my opinion, this poem can be divided into three parts. The first part speaks of the very beginning of the creation of a new poetic [...] ...

One of the founders of Russian egofuturism, Igor Severyanin in his work he really mixed the accents on his own person and often created odes for himself, not stinting on epithets. All this gave rise to a false perception of the poems of this poet, who had a very subtle artistic nature and was able to notice not only his own shortcomings, but also the vices of other people. True, he very rarely touched on this topic in his work, and one of the few poems that has a pronounced critical coloring is the work.

It is still a mystery to whom this poem is dedicated. There is an opinion that the author simply turned to himself in the third person, as if warning against actions that he would later regret. If this is so, it is not difficult to guess what the poet experiences to curl, whom he considers his teacher. However, the author pulls himself up and tries to extinguish in his soul not the brightest and best feelings that are caused by the friend's higher social position, his success in the literary field and material well-being. To cool his own ardor, Severyanin notes: “May his wealth, may his luck not erase the straps of your sandals.”

He encourages not only himself, but also those around him to confidently follow the chosen path and not look back at other people's achievements that cause envy. “Maybe bliss is at your doorstep, and perhaps need and crying await him,” indeed, these lines turn out to be prophetic, since in a few years Fofanov will die due to alcoholism, having squandered all his fortune, having lost his family and loved ones friends. He will only be devoted to him until the very last moment, believing that it was thanks to this person that he managed to achieve at least some success in the literary field. However, compassion is not at all the feeling that, according to the poet, one should feel towards a friend. After all, it is much more important for him that close people do not express their sympathy in difficult times, but know how to rejoice when a person is at the top of fame and prosperity. Therefore, Severyanin emphasizes: “Do not prevent a friend from rejoicing in success: this is a crime! This is an overkill!” In the understanding of the author, envy can destroy the strongest friendship, and there is no forgiveness for the culprit of this.
