You need to read the poem “Swimmer” by Nikolai Mikhailovich Yazykov as an expanded metaphor - in this work the poet talks about a man who courageously overcomes all everyday storms and sails on the sea of ​​his destiny no matter what. The author expresses the idea that people can overcome all adversities if they do not give in to them. When reading poetic lines in class during a literature lesson, you need to know that they were written in 1829 in Simbirsk, where the poet left Moscow. In the fall of this year, he was very optimistic and dreamed of creating, and his faith in human strength fills the work.

In the text of Yazykov’s poem “Swimmer” there is also a lot of work with sound instrumentation, which supports the mood of the work from the first to the last lines. Thanks to this technique, it is very easy to teach him. The picture turns out to be very expressive and dynamic: a person reading lines online or from a book can hear the storm almost literally. And having studied the poems in full, you will understand what the unity of form and content is, which this poem clearly demonstrates. It is an excellent poetic example and it is not for nothing that it entered the Russian treasury of the word.

Our sea is unsociable,
Day and night it makes noise;
In its fatal expanse
A lot of troubles are buried.

Bravely, brothers! Full of wind
I set my sail:
Will fly on the slippery waves
Swift-winged rook!

Clouds are flying over the sea,
The wind is getting stronger, the swell is getting darker,
There will be a storm: we will argue
And let's be brave with her.

Bravely, brothers! A cloud will burst
A mass of waters will boil,
The angry shaft will rise higher,
The abyss will fall deeper!

There, beyond the distance of bad weather,
There is a blessed country:
The vaults of the sky do not darken,
The silence doesn't go away.

Nikolai Mikhailovich Yazykov. Do you know this author? Unfortunately, a small number of even avid readers can boast that they are familiar with the work of this poet, however, his fame is not at all directly proportional to the power of his work.

Russian "unknown" poet

Russian poet of the 19th century, contemporary of the “sun” of Russian poetry A. S. Pushkin. Despite the fact that today few people know Yazykov’s poems, at one time they were read to them and put him on a level with Pushkin. Yazykov called his most famous poem, relevant at all times, “Swimmer.” The poem is lively, full of bright colors. Yazykov’s “Swimmer”, like a sailboat, rushes through time and does not lose its significance today.

Sea of ​​Life

“Our sea is unsociable, it makes noise day and night...” This is exactly how the poem “Swimmer” by Nikolai Yazykov begins. It goes on to say that in the vastness of this sea many troubles were buried. So what is this sea? Reading the poem, you understand that this is our life. Every day it makes noise and seethes. And in this bustle, we do not notice how much grief surrounds us, and this grief does not bypass us either. The poem describes the life of a sail that passes through waves, through a shaft, through a storm. He sails quickly, because somewhere out there the “blessed country” is waiting for him, and only a strong sail can get there. In this poem, Parus is, of course, a person. Like Yazykova’s swimmer, every person runs, fights, does something, strives for something better all his life. He is waiting for that very blissful time to come when he can calm down.

Yazykov in “The Swimmer” sums up that not everyone can get to this very “blessed country”. Only the strong and patient, who overcomes all difficulties with dignity, will get there. Yazykov’s “Swimmer” is relevant not only for the 19th century, it shows that time passes, but nothing changes: a person still, day after day, grabs every straw in the sea of ​​life in order to wait for a blissful time.

The work of N.M. Yazykov has not become widely known, and books with his poems can be found more often in the library, although the works are close in spirit to the people. His work was compared by his contemporaries with the work of A.S. Pushkin. His contribution to Russian literature and to the development of the Russian language is priceless. Why the works of this author were not widely available to the public is unknown.

The poem “Swimmer” was created in Simbirsk. The work talks about courage and fortitude in the fight against adversity and storms of life. The poet puts faith on a pedestal. At any

It is she who will help and give strength to a difficult situation. The poems are composed in a special form, the so-called sound correspondence.

The poet became the founder of this type of versification. It is impossible not to notice the musicality of the versification and the consonance of its lines. Each line conveys the intensity of emotions and a riot of feelings.

The poet realistically reflects life's obstacles and adversities with the help of the elements. The violence of the waves and wind does not prevent the sail from rushing quickly. By this, the author shows that the activity and speed of life does not depend on obstacles. You can overcome them without stopping, as if by the way.

The poet demonstrates

Often a person artificially exaggerates his problems. Some so-called “waves” can roll back themselves, running into each other. These lines are imbued with optimism. Despite the storm, in the distance the sky shines with “multi-colored dawns.” It is a ray of hope that sets the sail for a better life. The poet says that after failure there will definitely be success, faith in this success will help to overcome all difficulties and obstacles. And “their excitement will fall” sooner or later. Adversity will not last forever.

The last verse repeats the first. This technique is very common in Russian literature. It is used to consonance and give greater musicality to the work.

Perhaps the author thus demonstrates the cyclical nature of life situations. Everything repeats itself and adversity, after the troubles there will come a dawn of kindness and harmony, and then, perhaps, a storm will come again. This structure of the poem does not imply his optimistic mood.
