A.S. Pushkin: philosophical lyrics in the poet's work

For many years, the title of one of the most talented prose writers and poets of the XIX century is A.S. Pushkin. Philosophical lyrics are present in almost every of his works, although this is a fairly versatile poet, interested in many topics. Alexander Sergeevich wrote poetry on civil and love topics, raised questions about the friendship, destiny of the poet, described the beauty of Russian nature. But through all his poems there passes the thread of philosophy, they make the reader think about good and evil, the meaning of human life, faith and unbelief, death and immortality.

His originality is struck by Pushkin's philosophical lyrics. The poems are deeply intimate, personal in character, because every feeling belonged to the poet, he described his own thoughts, impressions of life. It is this fact that distinguishes the lyrics of Alexander Sergeevich from other authors. As the poet grows older, his works change, they have a different meaning. Poems you can find out what Pushkin lived in different years.

The philosophical lyrics of that period, when the poet was still a lyceum, is imbued with the spirit of merriment. Alexander Sergeyevich calls to have fun in the company of friends, enjoy friendly feasts and do not care about anything. About his youthful thoughts you can learn from the poem "The Coffin of Anacreon", written in 1815, the poem "Stanza Tolstoy" (1819). The poet preaches enjoyment and entertainment.

Philosophical motifs in Pushkin's lyrics have changed dramatically in the 1920s. Like all young people of that period, Alexander Sergeevich was drawn to romanticism. The poet bowed before Byron and Napoleon, the purpose of life was already not in the pointless burning of time on friendly feasts, but in accomplishing a feat. The heroic impulses of the soul could not but reflect on the author's philosophical lyrics. The most striking works of that period are the elegy "The daylight was gone," written in 1820, and the poem "To the Sea" in 1824.

In the mid-1920s Pushkin's world outlook was going through. The philosophical lyrics of that period are no longer imbued with romanticism, realism comes to replace it. The poet begins to understand the harsh truth of life, and she frightens him. He sees the problems, but does not see the goal to be pursued. In the work "The cart of life" Alexander Sergeyevich compares life with a conventional cart drawn by horses, she goes without stopping, day and night, the beginning of the trip seems joyful and bright, but the end is sad and dark. The fighting spirit of the poet broke off after the defeat of the Decembrists, Pushkin felt guilty before his friends, because he could not take part in the uprising against the tsarist regime.

By the end of the 20-ies in the poems are traced the despair and loneliness, which at that time experienced Pushkin. The philosophical poetry of the poet over the years has become more sad and even tragic. In the poems "The gift is vain, the gift is random," "Elegy," "I walk along the streets of noisy people" there are questions of life and death, the author considers what will happen after he does not become on this mortal land. But this does not mean that Alexander wanted death, he wanted to live, to carry people to his work, to guide people on the right path. He firmly believed that by the end of his life he would be able to find happiness and harmony.
