(323 words) Tyutchev is a special lyricist. His poetry is multifaceted, filled with philosophical, contemplative motives that make you look into the infinite cosmic space of not only the surrounding world, but also the inner, spiritual world.
The life path of the poet was associated not only with literary work. Devoting himself to public service, Tyutchev received the title of Chamberlain and State Councilor. Diplomatic activity became the main business of his life, however, literary experiments became the second most important hobby of this person.
“Every person at a certain age is a lyric poet. And you just need to untie his tongue, ”he noted, but he never considered himself a poet in the full sense of the word.
Tyutchev’s creative heritage is small and totals about 300 poems, but all of them differ in perfection of form and depth of content. His lyrics are devoted to a wide variety of topics: natural, love, philosophical and civil motifs form a single whole in his verses, forming the mysterious and mysterious world of Tyutchev the thinker and Tyutchev the poet, who subtly feels the life of nature and the human connection with it.
The cosmic nature of his lyrics is another important feature of Tyutchev's work. The poet’s living poetic thought tries to encompass not only the visible world, but also areas inaccessible to ordinary perception. Under his pen, a picture of the whole universe, full of mystery and depth, is created. Before such a large-scale mystery of nature, the lyric hero Tyutchev is weak and powerless:
Nature doesn’t know about the past,
Our ghostly years are alien to her,
And before her we dimly recognize
Myself - only a dream of nature.
However, Tyutchev admires man, his spiritual potentials, his ability to transform the world around him, without violating the established course of things. Therefore, often in his lyrics, he calls to keep the sincerity and beauty of feelings and thoughts within himself, without wasting them on trifles.
The connection of man with nature is obvious to the creator. The poet’s landscape lyrics are substantive and realistic, but also carry a cosmic component. The feelings and moods of the lyrical hero are closely connected with the states of the surrounding world, since, according to the author, he is a part of cosmic being, is the embodiment of love and freedom.
Tyutchev’s work was a revelation to Russian literature, a powerful attempt to penetrate the mysterious spaces of the universe, to find the connection between space and chaos, reflected in human being.
