Artistic images of trees

In the lyrics of Russian poets.

Lyric poems have great value in the development of a person as an individual. A person becomes a person when he lives in harmony with himself and with the world around him, in particular with nature. Harmony of the soul with nature is not possible without poems about nature.

In our work we turned to images of trees. Trees have always occupied a special place for Russian people. The Slavs had a myth about the tree of life, as if it served as the axis, the center of the whole world and embodied the entire universe. It was mentioned in fairy tales, riddles, and conspiracies. The image of trees is also preserved in the poems of Russian poets. For each of them, these are not just trees. These are living beings, these are living souls, these are symbols of their native places, the Motherland as a whole.

The purpose of this work is: to study artistic images of trees in poetry as a reflection of the relationship between man and nature, to identify the most common image.

The main results of the study: some poems of Russian poets were analyzed: images of trees were studied; The most frequently occurring images have been identified.

The main source in our work was the poems of S. Yesenin, N. Rubtsov, F. Vostrikov, V. Mikhalev. For several weeks we studied the peculiarities of the lyrics of these poets. We identified the leading images of poems, studied the main ways of depicting them, and observed how these images influence the feelings of the authors.

We analyzed the internal state of the lyrical hero especially carefully, tried to guess the obvious and secret meaning his poems. The connection between the lyrical hero and the depicted images of trees was analyzed. The leading means of artistic representation were identified, which helped the author express his feelings.

We studied how the image of a particular tree affects the spiritual world of the lyrical hero. They determined what the images of trees they depict could symbolize for the authors. They revealed how communication with nature influences poets.

Job description

If you carefully read Yesenin’s poems, then all the main types of trees in our country will appear in them. But the most striking image that occurs most often is the image of a Russian birch tree. Let's look back into our distant past and remember that birch is a sacred tree of many nations, a symbol of “Holy Rus'”. Birch in Slavic mythology- This is the tree of the beginning of life. It symbolizes purity and fidelity, spring and resurrection.

In Yesenin's poems, the birch tree is described in all its winter glory. Yesenin describes winter picture, seen from the window, admiring the birch tree, using a description of the smallest details, such as fringe on the branches, comparing snow with silver. In the fourth column of the poem “Birch,” the poet describes branches showered with silver, that is, snow illuminated by the sun. And we feel admiration for this beautiful tree. Why silver? The poet uses the technique of comparison: snow shining in the sun is compared to silver.

Another of S. Yesenin’s equally famous poems about birch: Green hairstyle,

Girlish breasts,

O thin birch tree,

Why did you look into the pond?

What does the wind whisper to you?

What is the sand ringing about?

Or do you want to use braids - branches

Are you a moon comb?

In this poem, the poet compares a birch tree with a girl. Associated with elements of girlish beauty. In these elements, S. Yesenin personifies a birch tree, comparing its crown with a hairstyle, branches with braids, a trunk with a girl’s slender figure.

The poet talks to trees as if they were living beings, sharing his sorrows and joys with them. Therefore, we can say that for the author a tree is something very close and dear.

Yesenin’s image of the maple from the poem of the same name, which became a wonderful romance, is no less vivid. The author feels that the maple “feels” during a snowstorm and conveys this feeling to us, the readers. At the same time, the poet compares himself to a maple and his circle of communication with other trees.

In the poems of N. Rubtsov, unlike the poems of S. Yesenin, the image of a tree (birch) is not personified. It is revealed with the help of epithets “...and the noise of gusty birches...”

In the poet’s memoirs, birch is associated not so much with joyful as with sad events. If only because this tree was planted on the grave of his deceased mother, who passed away when Nikolai Rubtsov was only 6 years old. And it is precisely with the autumn birch leaf fall that the news is connected that “a bullet killed my father in the war.” At the moment when this work was created, Nikolai Rubtsov already knew that his father did not die at the front, but returned after the war to another the city where he started a new family. At the same time, yesterday’s front-line soldier did not even remember his only son, who was given to be raised in orphanage after the death of the mother. Therefore, the author prefers to consider his father dead, but this mental wound he will never be able to heal. And every time, seeing how the birches rustle, Nikolai Rubtsov remembers, among other things, the betrayal of his father, whom he mentally managed to mourn and bury

In the last stanza of the poem, the poet addresses his homeland with the words: “My Rus', I love your birches!” This phrase contains a very deep philosophical meaning, which reveals the essence of the Slavic soul. A Russian person always easily forgets good things, but for a long time remembers what caused him pain. And it is precisely for this quality that Nikolai Rubtsov is so reverent about birch trees, because when he sees them, “tears come to his eyes, weaned from tears.” This means that he continues to live, love and hate, feel, suffer and remember that, despite everything, he remains a man who proudly carries his life’s cross and does not expect mercy from fate, accepting the trials that befall him with courage and nobility.

The images of trees in the works of Fyodor Vostrikov are interesting. The author uses the personification of the image of a willow:

The sky is cloudy, like moles.

I look into the distance from under my arm:

Walks around in a short skirt

Willow near the river.

And over the river, which is in the hazel tree,

Swifts cut the blue,

And he calls for the squawks

Small farm Jerzy.

Standing on tiptoe, currant

The curls are dried on the fence.

And wherever I look - homeland

A spring rings within me.

The poet compares the willow to a young girl. This shows the author’s love for his native places. This is not just a description of nature, it is part of the soul of the poet himself. All of Vostrikov's poems are autobiographical and directly related to his life. Including the poem “Six Birches”:

There is a place for images of trees in the poems of the Stary Oskol poet Vladimir Mikhalev. Thus, in the poem “Blacktrope,” the image of a birch tree is contrasted with fading nature. And after the lines “The gardens are dark and empty, Black and bare - bush to bush,” we feel how the hero strives to where “... you are white and white, Birch, the bright path of the Moon and leaves has been marked...”. Listen - “birch” - this is how the author affectionately calls this tree and strives for it. This image is always associated with light. He is always in the soul of a poet.

The author's image of a birch tree is associated with the image of a Russian girl. It is not for nothing that, speaking about this tree, the poet uses epithets: slender, quiet, bright, white, embarrassed. These words could not be better suited to the description of a simple peasant girl whom one cannot help but admire.

For the poet, birch is a connection with the past. You can verify this by reading the poem “Birch Light”. This is what the author will carry in his soul. This light was with him in childhood, and will be in old age. Here, a person’s connection is no longer only with nature, it is a connection with childhood, and birch light is a symbol of purity and spiritual youth.

The lyrical hero personifies a birch tree, he sees a living soul in it, can talk to it and hear an answer. The poet is connected with this tree throughout his life. And the author connects the fate of the birch with the fate of the Motherland.

There is one more tree without which it is impossible to imagine our Motherland. This oak is one of the most revered trees among the Slavs. It is a symbol of power and glory. Symbolizes fortitude. It is a sign of longevity and even immortality. Not a single tree has enjoyed such love and honor among the peoples of Europe. It was believed that the oak was given by the gods to people as a great gift. Oak symbolizes strength, strength and masculinity.

Mikhalev also noted this power and strength of the tree in his poems. In the most difficult times for the country, this tree also goes through trials. Moans, but doesn't break. It symbolizes independence and inflexibility. So in the poem “Shard” the poet writes:

Fought brutally

wrong and right.

The hills shook

Very often in Mikhalev’s poems a strong, mighty oak tree stands next to the gentle image of a birch tree. Mikhalev caught the mutual attraction of these trees. They are so different, but they complement each other so much. It can be "he" or "she". This is a combination of tenderness and courage, meekness and courage in each of us. It is these trees that the author depicts when he is waiting for the arrival of spring:

Still squeezed in the bronze buds,

Lightly covered with glue,

And the chime of birch leaves,

And the proud whisper of the oak tree

Each tree has its own face, its own character. And Mikhalev understands and feels this like no one else. And pine is a special tree for him. And if the birch is a beautiful maiden, a sister, then the pine is a close friend. And in the swaying of its branches the hero imagines a friendly waving:

The pine tree will wave its paw at me,

The haystacks will smell green...

Pine, birch, and oak are very often present nearby in Mikhalev’s poems. The poet watches these trees with tender love and sees everything down to the smallest detail:

Light on a pine needle

And through the bark -

Resin like honey...

And the whiteness is ivory! –

Birch trees stand in the clearings...

Conclusion

So, as we have discovered, the theme of nature in the poetry of S. Yesenin, N. Rubtsov, F. Vostrikov, V. Mikhalev is the leading one. The poets' poems present all the main types of trees in our Motherland: birch, oak, pine, maple, willow. Each tree appears before us in a beautiful artistic image. Poets personify trees, endow them with their own character, and use traditional folklore images. The authors have special words of love for each tree.

Having analyzed more than 100 poems by these authors, we came to the conclusion that S. Yesenin and V. Mikhalev more often turn to images of trees in their work. So, among these poems with images of trees, the image of birch is most often found, in second place are maple and oak, and in third place are spruce and pine. This study once again confirms that the permanent symbol of Russia is the birch tree.

The fate of the tree is inextricably linked with the life and fate of the Motherland. All poems of Russian poets emphasize the unity of man and nature; the state of nature is reflected in the state of man.

The survey showed that students in grades 8-9 mostly read poems as part of the school curriculum; Of the poems read, they give preference to lyrics. Among the poets who turn to the image of trees, S. Yesenin is more often named and, recalling the poems, they call “Birch” by S. Yesenin.

We believe that the material from this work can be used in lessons, extracurricular activities with junior and intermediate students in order to increase the level of interest in the position.

Introduction

Music, nature, poetry - it makes everyone happy. Nature has its own enchanting beauty that heals the soul and introduces a person to beauty. Nature in the paintings of talented artists, poets, and writers reveals to us new world, excites with its uniqueness, with its reminder - do not ruin the beauty around you. Love for the homeland has always been a national trait of Russian poets; they were able to find deep meaning in the inconspicuous, outwardly shy Russian nature.

Slide 4

Each national literature has its own system of favorite, stable motifs that characterize its aesthetic originality. There are entire studies of the image of the forest - in German literature, stream - in French. Russian literature in this regard has not been sufficiently studied. .

Slide 5

Our theme scientific work: “Features of revealing the image of the forest in the poems of Russian poets.” To analyze the ideological concept, poems by I. Bunin, K. Balmont, N. Razgon, S. Ya. Marshak are used. The relevance of the topic of this work is determined by its insufficient knowledge and novelty, as well as the need to educate students in respect of nature.

Slide 6

The purpose of the work is to identify general patterns in the disclosure of the image of the forest by different poets, as well as their originality. Objectives of the work: 1. Determine the aesthetic role of the landscape and the image of the forest in the lyrics. 2.Learn about a systematic approach to the study of landscape and apply the classification to the consideration of the image of the forest. 3. Clarify the possible symbolic meanings of the forest image. 4. Identify the ideological intent of the poems by I. Bunin, K. Balmont, N. Razgon, S. Ya. Marshak. 5. Find out what type of landscape the poem belongs to. 6.Decipher the symbolic meaning of the image of the forest in the work.

Slide 7

Varieties of landscapes

Ideal landscape: 1) a soft breeze, blowing, tender, carrying pleasant smells; 2) an eternal source, a cool stream that quenches thirst; 3) flowers covering the ground with a wide carpet; 4) trees spread out in a wide tent, providing shade; 5) birds singing on the branches.

Slide 8

A dull landscape: 1. A special hour of the day: evening, night or a special time of year - which is determined by the distance from the sun, the source of life. 2. Impermeability to sight and hearing, a kind of veil that obscures perception: fog and silence. 3.Moonlight, whimsical, mysterious, eerie. 4. A picture of dilapidation, decay, ruins. 5.Images of northern nature.

Slide 9

Stormy landscape: 1. Thunderstorm 2. Storm 3. Blizzard 4. Rain

Slide 10

The aesthetic role of the forest

The aesthetic role of the forest is manifested in the creation of colorful landscape elements, marvelous landscapes “assembled” from gray stones, transparent springs, quiet creeks, and the insinuating noise of silvery streams. It is this hypostasis of the forest that the most subtle and elegant lines of talented prose and high poetry are dedicated to.

Slide 11

Forest as a symbol

Forest - in psychological tests, fortune telling - this is the soul, the inner world of a person. The complex symbolism of the forest is connected at all levels with the symbolism of the feminine principle or the Great Mother. The forest is a widespread symbol outside world. In legends and fairy tales, the forest represents various dangers. For spiritual people it can become a place of solitude from the bustle of life. In literature and fine arts ancient world the image of the forest appears as a “sacred grove” or a heavenly beautiful “forest garden”. The Christian tradition combines the understanding of the forest as an ominous “thicket-refuge of animals and dragons” with the motifs of “forest silence” - a fertile environment for solitary prayers. There are images of the forest as a “temple of nature” in poetry. In the literature of the 20th century, the forest is the embodiment of the arduous paths of human knowledge, a visual image of the homeland, and a school of “ecological wisdom.”

Slide 12

Ivan Bunin “The leaves rustled as they flew around”

The leaves rustled as they flew around, the forest began to howl in autumn... A flock of some gray birds swirled in the wind with the leaves. And I was little, - their confusion seemed to me like a careless joke: Under the hum and rustle of the terrible dance, I had doubly fun. I wanted to join the noisy whirlwind, spin through the forest, scream - And greet each copper sheet with joyfully - crazy delight! The image of the forest in the poem 1) refers to a “stormy landscape”; 2) reflects the inner world of the lyrical hero; 3) is a symbol of the outside world, filled with life and dangers.

Slide 13

K. Balmont “Fantasy”

Like living sculptures, in the sparkles of the moonlight, the outlines of pines, spruces and birches tremble slightly; The prophetic forest calmly slumbers, accepts the bright shine of the moon and listens to the murmur of the wind, all filled with secret dreams. Hearing the quiet groan of the blizzard, the pine trees whisper, the spruce trees whisper, It is pleasant for them to rest in a soft velvet bed, Remembering nothing, cursing nothing, Bowing their slender branches, listening to the sounds of midnight. The poem can be classified as an elegiac landscape. The forest reflects the internal state of the lyrical hero. The work reflects mythological motifs - “spirits of the night”. The forest symbolizes the outer world of nature and the inner world of man.

Slide 14

Natalya Razgon “My Wonderful Forest” The days of blizzard and cold are in the past, March is coming into its own. And so I wait for the puddles to dry up and the first grass to appear. Then I am in the forest, transparent, hidden, Colored only by the ocher of pine, I am here - queen! The forest is my domain, the eternal heritage of the soul! My wonderful forest... Of course, everything is different... After all, I am its random line! And for nature, perhaps, it is equivalent to the Birth of a man and a leaf?...

The image of the forest in this poem can be classified as an ideal landscape, because... it highlights the beauty of nature. The forest symbolizes the eternity of the soul. The poem reflects the enthusiastic mood of the lyrical hero.

Slide 15

S.Ya. Marshak “Forest” This multi-storey house does not know idle idleness. He is busy working hard From the dome to the dungeon. Here the mirrors catch the sun in the high laboratory. And the juices extracted by the roots move inside the trunk. The leaves mutter in half sleep, But this is an imaginary slumber. In the wilderness, in peace, in silence, invisible work is going on.

In the poem, one can identify the signs of a dull landscape: wilderness, peace, silence, but this is a deceptive “slumber”, because life is in full swing in the forest. Which means this is an ideal landscape. The forest symbolizes the outside world and at the same time resembles the intense life of the soul, the creative process.

Slide 16

Conclusions 1. The image of the forest is present in many poems of Russian poets and helps the authors express their feelings and experiences.2. The authors also show the beauty of the forest, its mystery3. Most often, the forest appears to us as a symbol of the external world and the inner experiences of a person. 4. Mythological motifs of the forest are also found in the poems of Russian poets.

Slide 17

The practical benefit of this research is that we have proven, using examples, the possibility systematic approach to the analysis of poems that describe the forest. And this greatly facilitates the task of determining the idea of the poem, its motives, the symbolic meaning of the images and the mood of the lyrical hero. In addition, the question of the aesthetic role of the forest makes us think once again about the need to protect our native nature and green spaces.

Pine, birch, and oak are very often present nearby in Mikhalev’s poems. The poet watches these trees with tender love and sees everything down to the smallest detail:

Light on a pine needle

And through the bark -

Resin like honey...

And the whiteness is ivory! –

Birch trees stand in the clearings...

The image of a tree in the poetry of A.S. Tarkhanova

The territory of our multinational Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug is the historical homeland of the Khanty and Mansi peoples. Currently, literature as a layer of national culture is represented by the works of such famous authors as Yuvan Shestalov, Eremey Aipin, Maria Vagatova, Andrei Tarkhanov.

A.S. Tarkhanov is a famous poet of our district, whose childhood and youth were spent in the village of Amanya, Kondinsky district, and since 2004 he has been an Honorary Resident of the city of Khanty-Mansiysk. Awarded the Order Friendship of Peoples, and is a laureate of the Governor of the Autonomous Okrug Prize in the field of literature for the book of poems “Snow Symphony”. His poems have been translated into Bulgarian, Hungarian, Kyrgyz, Czech, and Finnish languages. A.S. Tarkhanov is a phenomenon not only of Mansi culture, but also of national culture. The theme of man and nature is widely represented in the works of A.S. Tarkhanov.

As Konstantin Yakovlev notes: “The poetic world of Tarkhanov is the world of a person who has not separated himself from nature and does not feel himself to be anything different from it. The harmony is so complete that it is not enough for Tarkhanov to love nature himself. He lives in his native land, “we love both the forest and the sky.” This is mutual love."

When you read the poems of A. Tarkhanov, you imagine: royally proud, majestic, sacred cedars, blue lakes and blue rivers, a slope strewn with lingonberries, blue cones swaying on the branches, extraordinary rain. The poet depicted beauty in his works native land. Based on his works, we can study the life and culture of the Mansi peoples.

And here is what the poet himself thinks about the nature of his creativity. It all started in early childhood. The fact is that the Mansi treat nature with special reverence and attach special importance to trees. And the Mansi larch is considered a sacred tree. There was such a tree in the life of little Andrey. From generation to generation, a reverent attitude towards larch was passed on: it was impossible to come close, many passed by with their eyes downcast, and there was no question of hitting the tree and causing it pain. Knew about this and future poet, but he could not overcome the desire to touch the sacred tree, and one day it happened: he went up to the larch, stroked the trunk, felt the warmth and then, in fear, withdrew his hand and began to wait for punishment. But nothing happened. Then Andrei looked up, saw the greatness and beauty of the tree and he wanted to find out what it was saying, to try to hear its voice: “And then,” Andrei Semyonovich is sure, “I felt that the poet had awakened in me.”

The attentive and interested reader will find in literary work the answer to many questions will trace how the poet’s worldview changed, his perception of the surrounding reality, his attitude to certain events.

The images of trees in the poetry of A. Tarkhanov are directly related to the image of nature, which for the poet is his own, beloved world.

In Tarkhanov’s poems, the image of a tree plays a different role and has different meaning. For example, in the poem “Berezonka”, a girl in a white shawl appears before us, he takes pity on her - the white beauty, because she is chilly and consoles her that spring will come soon:

Blue blizzards swirl

Above my birch tree.

The half shawl is thin.

Don't you feel chilly in it?

White beauty?

The finches ask for the sun,

They are trying for you.

There are also poems where the image of a sacred tree appears. We meet the image of a sacred birch, pine tree:

In the poem “sacred birch tree” after the ritual, “it seems to be spinning in a dance in an elegant Khanty scarf.”

In the poem “Sacred Pine” we see the image of old friends who met after a long separation, the poet is overwhelmed by memories: nature tree Tarkhanov image

Do you remember evening?

Blue fog

Embraced the taiga road.

But the poet left, and lightning burned the top, and in the morning the pine tree becomes sacred:

You became sacred in the morning.

Your fellow countrymen idolized you,

You have become like a memory in the world,

Our relatives loved us together.

Tarkhanov’s perception of nature is unconventional and unusual. For the poet, the forest is the second world of his life, he lives in harmony with nature, for him it is both a healer and a reliable guardian friend.

Hello forest -

my healer

My reliable friend is a keeper,

And the sculptor of my soul,

And then her savior.

In Tarkhanov’s poem “ My trees» lyrical hero shows his attitude towards each tree. When he sees a cedar, he slows down his pace, the cedar is the kindest soul for him, it is always sacred to him:

At the cedar I slow down -

He is always sacred to me

His kindest soul

Has an impulse of insight.

Birch is trembling and tender.

Sometimes it’s a mother, sometimes it’s a playdate.

But as far as I remember, she

She looked at me lovingly.

Pine is the favorite of heaven,

Soaring above the golden slope.

And the spruce is a shelter for him, as it hides him from the rain and saves him from the blizzard.

Aspen is a symbol of grief; it evokes in the hero a feeling of sadness and melancholy.

And, leaning against its bark,

I see off flocks of birds.

The sacred cedar always has miracles, miracles.

A yellow tambourine - the moon hangs over the top of a cedar.

And invitingly, rhythmically, someone quietly knocks on it,

Yucha - the taiga fairy silently walks in a white parka

And she waved her hands - there was already a round dance at the cedar.

When you read such lines, sadness involuntarily pricks your heart, that somewhere there is a miracle you have not seen, which you may have run past but did not notice. Andrei Tarkhanov noticed it and told us. After lines like these, I want to stand under the fir trees and be silent...

If we turn to the poem “Berezovsky larches”, we see how Andrei Tarkhanov compares larches with warriors, he probably means warriors who protect their people, calls them age-old friends, he also emphasizes that these trees contain the resilience of taiga people, these trees give us strength, cleanse us from sins, says that Menshikov stroked with his hand, Vauli caressed with his gaze. These sacred trees also attract the author himself.

Reading the poem “Saving Cedars” Andrei Tarkhanov already calls cedars warriors - broad-shouldered and slender, and in this poem the author reveals the beauty of the tree:

And in June the trees are green

The crowns bloom and turn red.

The boys are my noisy friends -

They admire the beautiful cones.

Blue, swinging on the branches

And they fill it with healing juice.

All living things around are a joy.

People rejoice, red squirrels,

Ronji, sables, sturdy bears.

And most importantly, he mentions cedars:

Cedars are sacred for the people of the taiga,

Intimate doubts are brought to them.

Having examined several poems where trees are found, we can conclude that trees are sacred for A. Tarkhanov, he has a special, reverent attitude towards them. In the poems of Andrei Tarkhanov, images of cedar, larch, pine, and birch constantly appear. All his work is imbued with a sense of inextricable connection with the life of nature. He lives in harmony with nature, the forest is a healer and guardian friend for him.

Tree images

in Russian poetry.

Completed by 7a grade student Anastasia Loschilova. Teacher Lyudmila Viktorovna Marakhovskaya.

2011

Purpose of the work:

Determine the uniqueness of each type of tree, its generalized meaning, steadily passing through the works of various poets of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Identify traditions and innovations in the use of tree symbols by various poets of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Introduction.

How is the uniqueness of each type of tree revealed in poetry, its generalized meaning, which steadily passes through the works of different poets?

First, some statistics. Which trees are considered the most poetic in Russia, based on quantitative characteristics? In the first place, of course, is the birch tree, the image of which is revealed in 84 poetic works (of the approximately 3,700 works of Russian poetry of the 18th–20th centuries dedicated to nature that we examined). Further, in descending order of frequency, follow: pine - 51, oak - 48, willow - 42, spruce and rowan - 40 each, poplar - 36, maple and linden - 30 each. Other trees are described much less frequently: aspen and palm - 7 , cypress - 6, willow, elderberry, elm, cedar - 5 each. Images of flowering and fruit-bearing trees and shrubs are often found: lilac - 29, bird cherry - 25, grapes - 18, apple tree - 15, cherry - 10, walnut - 8, pear, plum, lemon, orange - 4–5 each.

The quantitative ratio of different “breeds” changed from era to era. Poets of the first half of the 19th century century, for example, Pushkin, more often turned to oak and pine, and only in the second half of the century did the poetic cult of birch begin, which reached its culmination with S. Yesenin. The 20th century unexpectedly revealed the figurative possibilities of poplar, which previously attracted almost no attention.

“Male” trees.

Oak.

Everything that makes a tree stand out among other forms of vegetation (strength of the trunk, powerful crown) sets the oak apart from other trees, making it, as it were, the king of the tree kingdom. He personifies highest degree firmness, courage, strength, greatness.

Tall, mighty, blooming - these are the characteristic epithets of the oak, which in other poets of the first half of the 19th century appears as an image of vital power.
From A. Pushkin:

I look at the solitary oak tree,
I think: patriarch of the forests
Will outlive my forgotten age,
How he survived the age of his fathers.
(“Do I wander along the noisy streets...”)

But it is precisely the durability of oak that poets later begin to perceive as old age.

Far from the dark forest,
On barren and dry soil,
The old oak tree stands alone
Like a deaf desert watchman.

(I. Nikitin. “Oak”)

In 20th-century poetry, oak lost some of its popularity. For N. Zabolotsky, the oak is the embodiment not even of courage, but of the battle itself, when it resists the wind:

Look at him: he is important and calm
Among its lifeless plains.
Who says that in the field he is not a warrior?
He is a warrior in the field, even alone.

Maple.

The image of the maple is most formed in the poetry of S. Yesenin, where it appears as a kind of lyrical hero of a “tree novel”. The image of the maple tree as a country boy, a reveler, and a suitor is most clearly captured in the poem, which became a famous song:

You are my fallen maple, icy maple,
Why are you standing bent over under a white snowstorm?
.............................................
I seemed to myself to be the same maple tree,
Only not fallen, but completely green.
And, having lost modesty, having become stupefied,
Like someone else's wife, he hugged the birch tree.

The maple stands out among other trees with its round crown, similar to a mop of hair or a winter lamb's cap.

Guards blue Rus'
An old maple tree on one leg...

And I know there is joy in it
To those who kiss the leaves of the rain,
Because that old maple
The head looks like me.

The crimson color of the maple leaf increases its resemblance to the heart. Let us remember A. Akhmatova:

But the stars turn blue, but the frost is fluffy,
And every meeting is more wonderful, -
And in the Bible there is a red maple leaf
Laid down to the Song of Songs.
(“Under the roof of the frozen empty
housing...")

The concept of purity is often associated with maple. For Blok - “fresh”, for Pasternak - “not a speck in the new maples...”.

Poplar.

Topol did not create for himself in Russian poetry such a lyrical novel as Yesenin’s maple.

The pointedness of the poplar and its direction towards the sky are revealed in Fet’s poems:

And the pond dreams, and the sleepy poplar slumbers,
Sliding along the clouds with a pointed top...

(“A friend from the south”)

Poplar trees have a spicy smell during spring flowering - sticky buds carry a bitter fragrance everywhere. This is best conveyed by B. Pasternak in the poem “After the Rain”: the air is purified by a thunderstorm, and all the smells are especially sharp and primordial:

Now you won’t be able to inhale the thick crepe.
And the fact that the veins of the poplar burst -
So the garden air is like an infusion of soda,
It sparkles with poplar bitterness.

The slender poplar has a princely, royal bearing, and the fact that it grows along the roads allows you to see in it a barefoot wanderer. . B. Okudzhava:

And poplars alternately
bare feet put in the snow, sliding,
they walk like great princes -
as if hopeless, but arrogant.

"Female" trees.

BIRCH.

In the poetry of the first half of the last century we find brief and not particularly expressive references to this tree.

For many poets, the birch with its bent branches, called “weeping”, personifies bitterness and suffering. A. Fet associates the birch with the suffering share of his native country:

The birches of the north are dear to me, -
Their sad, downcast appearance,
Like the silent speech of the grave,
It cools the fever of the heart.
.............................
Leah mysterious tears
Through native groves and meadows,
Birch trees whisper about grief
Only with the north wind alone.

(“Willows and birches”)

If the birch appeared only in a weeping form, it would differ little from the willow. But the birch also has another emotional and symbolic significance - spring, jubilant. In ancient pagan rituals, the birch often served as a “Maypole” (just as the spruce served as a “December”, “New Year’s tree”): round dances were held around the birch during the spring holiday, which was called Semik, or green Christmastide, and decorated with multi-colored ribbons. No wonder, as V. Dahl notes, the white birch is called “veselka”. They wove branches into braids on it, likening it to a young girl, and put on wreaths. These rituals were for girls, men were not allowed to participate in them. “Actions with a birch tree were not always limited to curling it. They cut down the birch tree, decorated it with ribbons, beads, scarves, etc., and walked around the village with it.<...>When the birch tree was fully dressed, the girl crawled under its skirt, took it by the trunk and moved in front of the round dance; it seemed as if the birch was walking and dancing on its own.” The birch tree was often dressed up in a girl’s dress: they put on a jacket, a skirt, an apron, a scarf or a kokoshnik on the head, and such a braided tree was called “maiden beauty.” Hence the famous songs:

There was a birch tree in the field,
There was a curly girl standing in the field...
I, a young girl, went on a spree,
I broke a white birch...

...I myself am a birch tree,
I'll dress myself...
I'll put on a dress
Everything is green...
Everything is silk...

If the geographical, so to speak, representativeness of the birch was felt in the second half of the 19th century, then its connection with historical roots, with ancient customs, which, however, have survived to this day, was perceived by poetry only at the beginning of the 20th century, when it was actively revived in public consciousness and artistic creativity interest in ancient, pre-Christian, pagan Rus'. One of the first manifestations of this interest were the poetry collections of S. Gorodetsky “Yar” and “Rus”, which also contain poems about birch:

And Yaril himself magnificently crowned
The ends of the hair with a green crown
And, braiding, scattered
In azure color the color is green.

("Birch")

Yarila is the deity of spring fertility among the ancient Slavs. By curling and twisting the birch tree, which embodied the female fruit-bearing principle, the Slavs awakened the fruit-bearing power of the earth itself during the green holidays. This humanization, “feminization” of the appearance of the birch in Yesenin’s work reaches full development. If the maple is the hero of his “plant novel,” then the birch is the heroine.

Green hairstyle,
Girlish breasts,
O thin birch tree,
Why did you look into the pond?
(“Green hairstyle...”)

I returned to my home.
Green-haired,
In a white skirt
There is a birch tree over the pond.

The image of a birch in Russian poetry is multi-valued: it contains both the sadness of drooping branches and the light emanating from the trunk - the bright sadness that covers this northern tree.

The willow as a poetic image has many similarities with the birch.

These lines already outline much of what will later determine the poetic appearance of the willow: flexibility, trepidation, drowsiness, thoughtfulness, sorrow, inclination.

Without any connection with the landscape, A. Akhmatova uses the image of a willow tree. Her willow is the embodiment of loneliness, sad separation, rupture.

The willow spread out in the empty sky
The fan is through.
Maybe it's better that I didn't
Your wife.
(“The memory of the sun in the heart is weakening...”)

Willow in Russian poetry means not only love, but also any separation, the grief of mothers parting with their sons. There is something maternal in the appearance of the willow - silvery strands, it is not for nothing that the willow is called “gray-haired”. Nekrasov’s poem “Hearing the Horrors of War...” ends in the spirit of folk poetry:

...Those are the tears of poor mothers!
They will not forget their children,
Those who died in the bloody field,
How not to pick up a weeping willow
Of its drooping branches...

ROWAN

This is the brightest of trees, glowing with all shades of crimson. At the same time, the mountain ash reveals the bitterness and sadness that are generally inseparable from Russian nature. Often, red rowan berries, associated with blood, sacrifice, suffering, convey not melancholy, but audacity, challenge, fury, and rage.

However, the rowan berries ripen in the fall, and they have a reflection of some kind of cold, withering. Hence Yesenin’s image of the mountain ash - a fire that does not burn:

There is a fire of red rowan burning in the garden,
But he can't warm anyone.
Rowan berry brushes will not get burned,
Yellowness will not make the grass disappear.

(“The golden grove dissuaded me...”)

After the birch, there is no other tree in whose image Russia is so often personified. And if the birch found its singer in Yesenin, then the rowan - in Tsvetaeva:

Red brush
The rowan tree lit up
Leaves were falling.
I was born.
..................
To this day I
I want to gnaw
Roast rowan
Bitter brush.

(“Poems about Moscow”)

Every house is foreign to me, every temple is empty to me,
And everything is the same, and everything is one,
But if there is a bush along the way
The rowan tree especially stands up...

Evergreen trees.

PINE AND FIR.

The role of the Christmas tree in the New Year ritual is a special topic reflected in poetry last decades. Spruce as a New Year tree came to Russia relatively late - in late XVIII centuries from Germany, but gradually, with the abolition of many traditional rituals, this custom of decorating a spruce tree is becoming perhaps the most widespread. A spruce tree, decorated with candles, sweets, shiny toys, silver threads, firecrackers, apples and tangerines, becomes a symbol of future, expected splendor, a kind of heavenly tree of life. I. Nikitin also has a Christmas tree, decorated in a New Year’s style, to mark some special occasion, better world, happy transformation:
