Who is the author of the poem "Love is gone, wilted tomatoes ..."?

Almost every adult person knows this line well: "Love has gone, wilted tomatoes". And many people use these words in various everyday situations, when it comes to light feelings, alas, ordered to live long. When it seems that life has ended, all the best has happened to you, and tomorrow, a week, a month, a year - nothing new will happen. Inside, very oppressive feelings of sadness, hopelessness, loneliness, hopelessness, longing for those days when the loved one was always near, very strongly settled, all weekend, weekdays and holidays were lived together - with trips to nature, trips to the theater, cinema or cafe, and There were dreams about the future, plans for the next vacation or another family purchase.

Birth of relations

But in the beginning she was, love. Sudden, irrepressible, selfless, tender and tremulous, passionate and overwhelming, incomprehensible and spontaneous. After all, on our vast planet only a person can experience this feeling - a feeling of deep affection for another person. The phrase "Love is gone, wilted tomatoes" seems funny and insignificant at the moment of the origin of the feeling.

Despite the fact that among the many manifestations of love it is possible to distinguish three of its main types (the love of parents for children, the love of children for parents, the love of spouses), this bright feeling remains one of the strongest drives of two people for the purpose of uniting and overall replenishment of life.

It all starts quite beautiful and romantic. And it seems that all this will last the rest of his life. But, to the great regret of some and frank (perhaps even sarcastic) joys of others, even strong feelings have the property of "weathered". And what: has love gone, wilted tomatoes? Yes really it happens? It turns out, yes, it happens quite often.

Not a tragedy, but still ...

It does not matter for what reason the fading of the senses, which yesterday had overwhelmed the hearts of two lovers, had already occurred. Perhaps, the lovers were disappointed in each other because of some situation; Perhaps it was time for parting ... Love has gone, wilted tomatoes. However, it is sad to be aware of this situation. Although everything happens in life, it is interesting.

"Love has gone, wilted tomatoes." After all, there is in this expression a share of some sadness and a certain bitterness, is not it?

Why does love go away?

Some of the scientists who are engaged in the study of this feeling, believe that love does not dock with the emotional state of any person. Most likely, it is close to feelings of thirst or hunger. Proceeding from this, it can be assumed that a luminous sense of romantic love is simply a biochemical need of any person. If you follow the path of researching this assumption, you can quickly find the answer to the question: "Why does such a beautiful and strong feeling disappear somewhere?" When a person wants to eat, he is quite able to open a refrigerator, get food and eat from there.

It is possible that with love there is exactly the same story. A man wants to fall in love, he meets someone who looks a little like his dream, and all - a spark flashed, and the fire of feelings brightly flamed. In the beginning of relations it is impossible to imagine even a short period of time without a loved one. But ... love passed, tomatoes wilted. Everything disappeared without a trace, and even a mild fog does not remind you of the remaining ashes.

And only with the help of this expression, consisting of only four words, can we say with some irony or slight nostalgia about the feeling that has already passed.

"Father" of known lines

"Love has gone, wilted tomatoes." Who is the author of such an unpretentious, but very sad poem? It was thanks to this man, Oleg Savostyanov, that the expression gained immense fame. His poem was quoted everywhere. And not only quoted. The crooks with a sense of humor even wrote many different variations on the topic of the departed love and tomatoes are not the first freshness.

There are a lot of such "copied verses".

Berries and feelings. What do they have in common?

Love has passed, wilted tomatoes. Where did this strange comparison come from?

Tomatoes and love. What can be less similar? It is possible, if desired, and to some degree of fantasy, to see an association between how the love fades and this plant withers. But it's about the tomatoes themselves.

If the word "tomato" is translated from French into Russian, it will sound like an "apple of love". Yes, and cultivated it earlier in the usual pot, like a decorative plant.

Green "jewels" of the 18th century

Enamored couples often came to romantic meetings, appointed in the gazebos. And the pavilions were decorated with pots or beautiful boxes with tomatoes. Girls 200-250 years ago could pin a twig to the corsage of their dress, on which the harbinger harbored. It was this twig that was the symbol of love. Of course, none of the young ladies, immersed in the abyss of love, did not want to give up such a modest, but so much meaningful for every young (and not so young) decoration.

It also happened that some of the charming fairies stopped appearing in public with a pinned twig. Then the whole public understood that something sad had happened.

About me and about you

"Love has gone, wilted tomatoes." The verse can be recited endlessly, each time finding something very personal in it, as if it was written only for you.

"Love has gone, wilted tomatoes." The author of these lines did not expect such attention to his work. The poem by Oleg Savostyanov became very popular. After all, many people had a similar situation, when the love was at the very top, I wanted to sing and jump to the ceiling, and then suddenly - bang, and all. Of course, this notorious "bam" does not arise from nowhere and does not come suddenly. Most likely, something happened before, something that could not but affect the perception of your half and pushed to a huge disappointment in the person.

And it is this "something" that becomes a strong enough and powerful impetus to the fact that the relations, which may already be in a shaky and fragile state, gradually became more transparent and more ghostly. Yes, at first everything is always fine. The strength and energy is enough for everything: build a house, and plant a tree (yes, there is a whole garden), and there is an unruly desire to visit a theater, a museum or a nightclub. Unfortunately, this euphoria is short-lived. The couple begins to look more closely at each other, periodically looking for dirty character traits that do not inspire special sympathy, and deeds that can not become the pride of a partner. So it turns out a strange thing: at the beginning of a relationship, love burns like a star, and in the end - berries fade too soon.
