Nature in the poems of B. Pasternak: analysis of the poem "Spring in the Forest"
Autumn in Tyutchev’s lyrical works has an attractive charm, an extraordinary and somewhat tremulous breath, and an orphaned sadness inherent in human emotions. The author conveys picturesque descriptions of nature in such detail and interestingly that when reading the poems, the reader seems to be transported into a fictional, skillfully painted world.
Fyodor Tyutchev is rightfully considered an unsurpassed master landscape lyrics. Each word in his poems has a specific meaning. The description of nature and the autumn season appears before the reader in an original sketch, as if the poet did not simply write a poem, but painted in detail the pictures he saw. He did not highlight the ordinary, what everyone can see. Tyutchev looked deeply inside, into the very soul of nature, felt its state and mood, and he magnificently conveyed all these observations in rhyme.
Every person periodically admires the surrounding nature. Watching her life and the changing seasons is always interesting and instructive. The poet was also keen on studying natural phenomena, but unlike other people, he skillfully conveyed all the most interesting things, enticing the reader with melodic lines. Tyutchev's poems are studied with pleasure by people of all ages; there are many fans of his work among young children. Poems about autumn that are pleasant to read are easy to comprehend and memorize, leaving the most pleasant emotions in the reader’s soul.
Analysis of the poem “There is in the original autumn...”
In August 1857, Fyodor Tyutchev wrote one of the most wonderful poems about autumn time- “There is in the primordial autumn.” This verse was invented by the author completely by accident. Returning to Moscow from a long trip with his daughter, the author admired the surrounding autumn colors, which inspired the talented poet to create another literary masterpiece. Returning home, he immediately wrote a poem, which in the future was recognized by the world community as one of the best. This lyrical work belongs to the late work of Tyutchev. The publication of the poem occurred a year after it was written, in a well-known magazine called “Russian Conversation”.
The poem “There is in the original autumn” is an interesting sketch of natural landscapes at the beginning of autumn. Many people call this time “Indian summer”, when the sultry days are replaced by gentle warmth with a slight coolness, characteristic of the autumn season. The author managed to colorfully describe this glorious transition period, highlighting the thinnest line between the passing summer and the beginning of autumn.
Epithets play a leading role in this poem. With their help, Tyutchev masterfully revealed the image of early autumn. He called this time of year “marvelous,” emphasizing its unique beauty and extraordinary days. And with the word “crystal” the author was able to emphasize the transparency of the autumn sky and the play of light, conveying the sonority of autumn days and the fragility of beauty.
The breath of autumn is clearly felt in the poem, reminding everyone living on earth of the imminent arrival of winter. The poet talks about that pleasant ringing silence that gives peace and special peace. At this time of year, both man and nature itself need some rest, and after taking the inevitable pause, we manage to enjoy the autumn silence and harmony of this time of year. All these tremulous feelings and inherent excitement were masterfully conveyed in a poem by the famous and talented poet Fyodor Tyutchev!
“There is in the primordial autumn...”
There is in the initial autumn
A short but wonderful time -
The whole day is like crystal,
And the evenings are radiant...
Where the cheerful sickle walked and the ear fell,
Now everything is empty - space is everywhere, -
Only a web of thin hair
Glistens on the idle furrow.
The air is empty, the birds are no longer heard,
But the first winter storms are still far away -
And pure and warm azure flows
To the resting field...
Analysis of the poem “Autumn Evening”
Even in the early years of his work, Tyutchev was able to glorify the autumn season, picturesquely distributing the colors of autumn and its deceptive mood. As you know, the poet lived abroad from the age of eighteen, and during his next trip to Russia, which happened in 1830, Fyodor Ivanovich wrote a beautiful poem - “Autumn Evening”. It was created in a classical style, with subtle hints of romanticism. The main theme of the work is landscape lyricism. The autumn evening is presented by the poet as a phenomenon of natural life. The author gave this creation a special philosophical meaning, trying to find something similar between natural phenomena and the life of an ordinary person. The poet deeply expanded the metaphor, comparing the feelings of autumn with the prototypes of deep morality inherent in animate persons.
The poet wrote “Autumn Evening” in iambic 5 meter using cross rhyme. The twelve-line poem has a complex sentence that can be read loudly in just one breath.
“A gentle smile of withering” - this small phrase used by Tyutchev in a lyrical work was able to harmoniously unite everything important details conceived by the poet. This is how a charming image of nature withering in the autumn darkness was created.
In this poem, Fyodor Tyutchev described nature as multifaceted and rather changeable. It has rich colors and unusual sounds. The author managed to masterfully convey the beautiful charm of twilight on a cool autumn evening. And with the help of syntactic condensation, the poet was able to reunite the many-sided artistic expressiveness.
In the lyrical work “Autumn Evening” there are many epithets of various structures. Contrasting techniques allowed the author to quite expressively convey to the reader the transitional state of nature in autumn.
Tyutchev clearly comprehends the autumn landscape, conveys to her human qualities character and feelings. He perceives this time of year as nature’s farewell smile, signaling the imminent arrival of winter.
"Autumn evening"
There are in the brightness of autumn evenings
Touching, mysterious charm:
The ominous shine and diversity of trees,
Crimson leaves languid, light rustle,
Misty and quiet azure
Over the sad orphaned land,
And, like a premonition of descending storms,
Gusty, cold wind at times,
Damage, exhaustion - and everything
That gentle smile of fading,
What in a rational being we call
Divine modesty of suffering.
Analysis of the poem “Enveloped in a thing’s drowsiness”
The poem “Wrapped in a Thing’s Drowsiness” is recognized as a real pearl of landscape lyricism in the works of Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev. Many famous personalities spoke flatteringly about this poetic creation - Ivan Aksakov, Leo Tolstoy, popular critics at that time, and, of course, fans of the famous Russian poet who study Tyutchev’s lyrics.
The poem “Wreathed in a Thing Drowsiness” presents a picture of fading autumn in all its lovely colors. In this work, the author introduces non-standard thinking, presenting the true beauty of natural nature, hidden in external unattractiveness and even ugliness. As a starting point, the poet chooses chaos, which generates new life after a disastrous collapse. This view of Tyutchev on natural phenomena is somewhat comparable to the creative thoughts of the English poet W. Wordsword.
In this poem, as in other lyrical works of Tyutchev, one can see the inspiration of natural phenomena. Plants and the forest, covered with colored paints, experience slightly joyful and at the same time sad emotions inherent in humans.
Fyodor Tyutchev always considered nature to be alive, he saw its subtle soul, believed that it can show feelings of love, harmony, sadness... All these emotions of nature, invisible to the common human eye, were conveyed by the author in many ways in his poems, full of beautiful epithets and amazing rhyming.
Reading the poem “Wreathed in a Thing Drowsiness,” a skillful comparison of the cycles of nature with periods of human life is clearly visible. Fading autumn forest can be compared to human aging. The author sees this withering of nature in beautiful outlines, considering all the beauty of the last smile, once blooming and alive...
The poem is narrated in the first person, by the lyrical hero, who appears to the reader as a young man who has a somewhat contemptuous attitude towards inevitable old age. This opinion arises due to the fact that at such an early age, he does not try to consider his personality in the objective reality that awaits any person at a certain period life path. The author’s idea can be interpreted with other thoughts; each reader can show his imagination and independently summarize the main meaning of the magnificent lyrical work - “Wooded with the stuff of drowsiness.”
“Enveloped in a thing of drowsiness...”
Enveloped in a thing of drowsiness,
The half-naked forest is sad...
Of the summer leaves perhaps the hundredth,
Shining with autumn gilding,
There is still rustling on the branches.
I look with tender sympathy,
When, breaking through from behind the clouds,
Suddenly through the dotted trees,
With their old and weary leaves,
A lightning beam will burst forth!
How fadingly cute!
What a delight it is for us,
When, what bloomed and lived like this,
Now, so weak and frail,
Smile for the last time!..
Let me start with the fact that the second part of the question is related to the poem by Sergei Yesenin, where he so poetically describes a blizzard, and a little further on a blizzard that raged in earnest. The blizzard rages so zealously that to enhance perception, the poet resorts to verbs that emphasize the full power of this natural phenomenon. Yesenin uses verbs in his lines that are more characteristic of a person: he lulls, he calls, he sings, but it is precisely this technique used by the poet that “revitalizes” the blizzard, making it the main character of the poem.
After analyzing the poem with your child, you can begin to complete the first part of the task, namely, writing a short story based on personal observations. In our case, the story turned out to be as follows:
- I really love winter. I like snow where you can ski and sled. I love the light frost that freezes the puddles and turns them into little skating rinks for me to skate on. I like snowflakes that tickle my nose as they slowly fall from the sky. But, I don’t like it, because... Because of the strong wind, I have to sit at home so as not to hurt my cheeks in the snowy wind and just look out the window at how the trees are gradually dressed in shaggy snow coats with which the winter blizzard wraps them.
Winter sings and echoes...Physical phenomena
Winter sings and echoes,
The shaggy forest lulls
The ringing sound of a pine forest.
All around with deep melancholy
Sailing to a distant land
Gray clouds.
And there's a snowstorm in the yard
Spreads a silk carpet,
But it's painfully cold.
Sparrows are playful,
Like lonely children,
Huddled by the window.
The little birds are cold,
Hungry, tired,
And they huddle tighter.
And the blizzard roars madly
Knocks on the hanging shutters
And he gets angrier.
And the tender birds are dozing
Under these snowy whirlwinds
At the frozen window.
And they dream of a beautiful
In the smiles of the sun is clear
Beautiful spring.

The study of physical phenomena and laws in connection with the consideration of their reflection in works of fiction: writers and poets sing vividly and figuratively native nature, talk about characteristic natural phenomena.
Natural sources of light (their glow does not depend on human will) have long attracted the attention of people; they inspired poets, artists, composers, thinkers. This is how our great compatriot M.V. wrote about the star. Lomonosov:
... An abyss full of stars has opened.
The stars have no number, the abyss has no bottom.
And here is a poem by V. Lugovsky:
Star, star, cold star.
You are sinking lower and lower towards the cold needles.
At dawn you will disappear without a trace
And at dawn you will emerge from the void.
Your distant world is a winged whirlwind of fire,
Where the nuclei of atoms are fused by heat.
Why are you looking at me so icy?
A grain of sand on the crust of the globe.
A F.I. Tyutchev dedicated one of his poems to the rainbow:
How unexpected and bright
In the damp blue sky,
Aerial arch erected
In your momentary celebration!
One end stuck into the forests,
Gone behind the clouds for others -
She took away half the sky
And she became exhausted at the height.
Oh, in this rainbow vision
What a treat for the eyes!
It is long ago for us for a moment,
Catch him - catch him quickly!
The light and warmth of a fire always attract people and create a lyrical mood, as described, for example, in a poem
I.S. Nikitina:
Brightly twinkling stars
In the blue of the sky;
Moon's radiance
Falls on the forest.
Heard between the bushes
Laughter and conversation;
It's hot with mowers
A fire has been lit.
Stars over the fields
Wilderness and reeds...
So they pour on their own
Sounds from the soul.
A candle plays a special role among artificial light sources: it has become a symbol of life, knowledge, as well as the memory of the dead, a symbol of the immortality of human souls. Thanks to this, in B. Pasternak’s poem the image of a candle creates an appropriate lyrical and philosophical subtext:
Chalk, chalk all over the earth
To all limits.
The candle was burning on the table,
The candle was burning.
Like a swarm of midges in summer
Flies into the flames
Flakes flew from the yard
To the window frame.
A snowstorm sculpted on the glass
Circles and arrows,
The candle was burning on the table,
The candle was burning.
It was the candle that served as the “starting point” for the Russian electrical engineer P.N. Yablochkov when creating a lamp with an electric arc -
"Yablochkov's candles"
Everywhere, constantly on earth, the water cycle takes place in nature.
All inhabitants of our planet are its witnesses, witnesses of evaporation, boiling and condensation of moisture. Let us turn to fiction, where there are descriptions of these phenomena.
Let us now answer several physical questions related to fragments from poetic works.

M.Yu. Lermontov “Two Brothers”:
The low valleys are smoking,
Where are the heaps of small huts
With dirty yards...
Question: Why does fog most often form in lowlands?
(Answer: Cold air stagnates in low places.)
Russian writer Ivan Alekseevich Bunin.
"Cold Spring":
Among crooked trunks, among gnarled branches
Milky smoke creeps in: the garden is being fumigated.
All the apple trees are in bloom - and behold, in the green grass
The lights, like tongues, turn red and tremble.
The colorless smell is pure - expect frost at midnight.
And the nightingales sing all night from their warm nests
In the blue dope of smoking manure,
In the silver dust of misty-bright stars.
Questions: Why are flowering apple trees fumigated in anticipation of frost?
Why in early spring Can frost be expected with a cloudless sky?
(Answers. Fumigation garden trees saturates the air with the smallest particles of combustion products, and steam from the air condenses on them, releasing heat that warms the flowers. When the sky is cloudless, the earth is greatly cooled by radiation; smoke blocks this radiation.)
Russian writer Nikolai Nosov.
"Dunno on the Moon":
Vintik and Shpuntik, being in a state of weightlessness, wanted to boil the kettle. “At first everything went well, but after a few minutes Vintik and Shpuntik saw water begin to bubble up from the spout of the kettle, as if someone was pushing it out from the inside. Shpuntik quickly plugged the spout of the kettle with his finger, but water immediately began to bubble out from under the lid.
This bubble grew larger and larger, finally came off the lid and, shaking as if it were made of liquid jelly, floated through the air.”
Questions: how to explain what happened?
Why couldn't Vintik and Shpuntik boil water in the kettle?
(Answers: Zero gravity. In zero gravity, convection is impossible.
The bottom layer of water in the kettle heats up and turns into steam.
The steam expands and displaces cold water from the teapot.)
From a poem by a Russian poet F. Tyutcheva “Clouds are melting in the sky...”:
The clouds are melting in the sky,
And, radiant in the heat,
A river rolls in sparks...
Questions
:
did you recognize the physical phenomenon discussed here? Name it. Why does the surface of the water sparkle?
(Answers. The described phenomenon is associated with the reflection of light. There are always ripples and small whirlpools on the surface of the water; it can be represented as a set of concave and convex mirrors. Concave “mirrors” focus the sun’s rays, so bright sparkles appear on the water. Since the surface “mirror” waves are constantly moving, the sparks seem to flash on and off.)
Poetic images of various natural light sources.
Rainbow: Spring sun with rain
Build a rainbow together -
Seven-color semicircle
Of seven wide arcs.
No sun and no rain
Not a single nail
And they built it in no time
Celestial Gate.
S.Ya.Marshak
Stars: So many stars crowded into the frame
Between the window sashes.
They sparkle in the evenings
Like golden letters.
In the window's close semicircle
By remembering, you recognize
Polygons and arcs-
Universe fire drawing.
S.Ya.Marshak
Lightning: And then summer said goodbye
With a stop. Taking off my hat,
One hundred blinding photographs
At night I photographed the thunder as a souvenir.
The lilac brush has faded. In it
Time he picked up an armful
Lightning, they trawl from the field
Light up the executive house.
B.L.Pasternak
Fire: There is nothing sadder than the night
A fire forgotten in the forest.
Oh, how he trembles as he goes out
And flaring up in the wind!
Cold night wind from the sea
Suddenly flies into the forest:
He, spinning wildly, throws
Decayed pine weeds into the fire
And the flame flares up greedily,
And the darkness hanging like a tent,
Suddenly it trembles, opening
Trunks and branches over the fire.
I.A.Bunin
Riddle competition:
1. Once they asked the rose, why, enchanting the eye, do you cruelly scratch us with prickly thorns?
(the points of the spike have a very small cross-sectional area).
2. Have you ever walked through a swamp? Was it easy for you? That's it! Then why does the huge elk run so easily through the swamp?
(The moose’s hooves are forked. There is a membrane between them. Therefore, the area of support for the moose’s leg is quite large, and the pressure is relatively small).
3. The flight attendant very nicely asked me to empty all the ink from my pens before departure. Why did she need this?
(At high altitudes, the ambient air pressure is low, and the pressure in the pen is equal to the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the earth. Excessive pressure may cause ink to flow out of the pen.)
4. What mistake was made in the poet’s poem:
She lived and flowed along the glass, but suddenly she was shackled with frost, and the drop became a motionless piece of ice, and the warmth in the world decreased?
(When water turns into ice, heat is released rather than lost.)
5. It was winter. Sherlock Holmes entered the room from the street. Through the frozen windows, only the edge of the road was visible. “The landlady is lazy,” he thought. Why did he come to this conclusion?
(Answer: The windows in the owner's apartment were frozen. This means that warm, moist air from the room penetrated into the space between the frames and, coming into contact with the cold glass, froze on it. Consequently, the windows are poorly insulated.)
6. Having come to visit, Sherlock Holmes went to the window and looked out of it. “Your house is stone and cold,” he remarked. What allowed him to say that?
(Answer: Through the window he saw that the house was made of stone and its walls were thin; brick is not a very good heat insulator.)
7. “Would you like some tea?” - asked the owner of the house Sherlock Holmes. “Yes,” answered the guest. “That’s good,” said the owner. “But I love hot tea, that’s why I put a piece of sugar in it just before drinking it.” “It’s wiser to do this earlier, as soon as it’s poured for you,” advised Sherlock Holmes. Is he right?
(Answer: Right. If you put sugar directly into hot tea, its temperature will immediately drop, and the lower it is, i.e., the less different from room temperature, the slower the tea cools.)
8. “Pancakes are delicious when they are hot,” said the hostess, inviting Sherlock Holmes to the table. “To keep them hot longer,” she continued, “I place a plate of pancakes on a woven wire tray. I ask you to." “It’s better to put them on a wooden stand,” Holmes advised. What is this advice based on?
(Answer: The thermal conductivity of wood is less than that of metal, so the plate cools down more slowly on a wooden stand.)
9. The owner of the house where Holmes was, came to the door and let the cat into the room. Looking at the cat, Sherlock Holmes said: “The weather outside is cold.” How did he determine this?
(Answer: Obviously, from the cat's fur. In cold weather, the wool becomes especially fluffy so that there is more air in the space between the fibers - a poor conductor of heat.)
Riddles on the topic “Nature and phenomena in it.”
Each answer is accompanied by a physical question.
It does not sink in water and does not burn in fire. What it is?
Question: When will a kettle with boiling water cool down faster: if you put it on ice or if you put ice on the lid?
(Answer: when ice is placed on the lid of the kettle; in this case, a cold layer of water will form around the ice, which is heavier than the rest, and it will sink down; convection currents will arise)
Without arms, without legs, but he climbs into the hut. What are we talking about?
Question: Why do many animals sleep curled up in a ball in cold weather?
(Answer: A curled up animal has less body surface area, so it cools less. Due to less contact with cold air and less convection)
You are behind her, she is from you, you are from her, she is behind you. What it is?
Question: How to get shadows of different lengths from one stick?
(Answer: you need to tilt the stick under different angles towards the sun)
I eat coal, I drink water,
I’m carrying a train of one hundred wheels.
And I call myself... (Locomotive)
Question: What serves as the working fluid of a steam locomotive engine?
(Answer: steam)

5. What goes on without moving? (Answer: time)
Question: Does time always “go” at the same speed?
(Answer: No; its progress depends on the speed of the reference frame)
“The main advantage of Mr. F. Tyutchev’s poems lies in their lively, graceful, plastically correct depiction of nature. He loves her passionately, understands her perfectly, the most subtle, elusive features and shades of her are accessible to him, and all this is excellently reflected in his poems,” wrote N. A. Nekrasov, highly appreciating Tyutchev’s lyrics of nature and calling the poet's talent is “primary poetic talent.”
F.I. Tyutchev especially loved spring and autumn nature, symbolizing rebirth and withering. He created unique images: thunderstorms, spring waters, the night sea, etc.
Tyutchev’s poem “Autumn Evening” is remarkable - a kind of lyrical reflection evoked by the beauty of nature falling asleep. In it, nature appears in its magnificent festive decoration, the author emphasizes its “touching, mysterious charm.” The poet paints images of the sky, wind, trees, leaves, clear evening. The intonation of the entire poem is soft, soothing, creating a feeling of peace and harmony. Only the “ominous shine and variegation of the trees” and the “gusty, cold wind” foreshadow the approach of late autumn, which is not so calm and sweet. In the poem, Tyutchev humanizes nature, speaks about it in the language of metaphors. This landscape is clear autumn evening truly captivating.
A striking contrast to this poem is Tyutchev’s famous hymn to the thunderstorm (“Spring Thunderstorm”). The thunderstorm rumbles, plays, frolics, joyfully proclaiming the awakening of spring nature. By pumping up a trembling sound, Tyutchev conveys the strength and power of a natural phenomenon: “Young peals are thundering...”.
Metaphors help the poet to bring the picture to life: “rain pearls”, “the sun gilds the threads”.
The thunderstorm makes us remember the gods - Tyutchev introduces the image of the goddess Hebe, spilling her “thundering cup” onto the earth.
Distinctive feature Tyutchev's lyrics - a comparison of natural phenomena with human experiences. The poet compares the inexhaustible strength and vitality of the key (“The stream has thickened and dimmed ...”) with the spark of life that always flickers in the “orphaned chest”, happy love with northern summer, the breath of spring in the middle of autumn with memories talk about youth...
The image of the sea appears more than once in the poet’s lyrics. Contemplation of the sea was truly exciting for Tyutchev. Vivid evidence of this is the poem “How good you are, O night sea...”, of which the great poet left five versions.
Tyutchev also dedicated the poem “You, my sea wave...” to the sea. The poet is captivated by the willfulness and love of life of the wave, its secret charm, he trusts his soul to it. The wave either laughs, “reflecting the vault of the sky,” then furiously beats against the shore, then whispers affectionately, then murmurs violently, it is “now gloomy, now bright.” She appears as a living, animated being in this poem.
According to V. Ya. Bryusov, “Tyutchev’s poems about nature are almost always a passionate declaration of love. It seems to Tyutchev that the highest bliss available to man is to admire the diverse manifestations of the life of nature.”

All that remains is to put everything into one text, using the plan.
Chapter 2. Poem analysis plan.
We looked at several essay plans for analyzing a poem. Some were too voluminous, containing 17 points, many of which are incomprehensible to a student in grades 5-6, because were not studied according to the program. We found one plan for elementary school students, but it did not contain the concepts that are studied in grades 5-6 (visual and expressive means). We settled on one plan proposed by Natalya Valentinovna Prokina, teacher of Russian language and literature at Municipal Educational Institution Secondary School No. 2, r.p. Kolyshley, Penza region.
Sample plan for analyzing a poem for grade 5.
1. Expressive reading of a poem (teacher).
2. Emotional perception of the text.
3. Verbal drawing (landscape lyrics).
4. Work at the lexical level: what visual and expressive means helped to experience these feelings.
5. Determining the theme of the poem, the main idea.
However, this plan is not suitable for writing an essay. Therefore, we decided to take the plan proposed in thematic notebooks on literature, reworking it, removing what was unknown to sixth-graders, adding points from the plan proposed above. We decided to provide each point of the plan with detailed questions that, in our opinion, will help the student in analyzing the poem. We have combined some details of the plan, considered in other sources as separate points of analysis, into one point for convenience (one point - one paragraph), especially since in the sixth grade a student cannot yet fully and voluminously reveal the images, the main idea of the poem, and he is not able to do this a separate paragraph will be required.
Plan for writing and analyzing a poem.
2 . What picture does he paint in his poem? (Describe. Pay attention to the details of drawing the paintings, their color scheme. What words in the poem suggested the named features of the image to you?) The mood, feelings conveyed by the author. How do feelings change from the beginning to the end of the poem?
3. The main images of the poem. Expressive means (epithets, metaphors, comparisons) Syntactic figures: antithesis, appeal and exclamation.
4 . Your own attitude towards what you read. What feelings does the poem evoke?
Based on the materials collected for the essay, the following essay may be obtained.
Tyutchev F.I. – master of landscape and philosophical lyrics. The poet's pictures of nature are shown through lyrical experiences and are associated with philosophical thoughts about life and death, about man's place in the world, about his connection with nature. Landscapes delight with their emotionality and expressiveness. This can be seen in the poem by F.I. Tyutchev"Reluctantly and timidly..." , which talks about spring rain. The poet shows how nature changes when it starts to rain.
In his work, F.I. Tyutchev paints a picture of spring nature. The sun still illuminates the earth, but a thunderstorm is already approaching. Lightning flashed. It starts to rain and the wind has picked up. Thunder is heard more often. The sun, having illuminated the earth, hides behind the clouds. The poet admires the lively nature, admires the approaching thunderstorm.
The main images of the poem are images of the sun and earth, lightning and thunderstorms, which seem to prevent the sun from connecting with the earth. Personifications help make the picture lively and spiritual: “the sun looks at the fields”, “the sun once again looked / From under his brows at the fields...”.Using the epithets “reluctantly and timidly”, “greening”, “white and flying”, “angry and bolder”, “confused”, the poet creates images of nature. The abundance of verbs helps to convey movements and changes in nature.
I liked Tyutchev's poem"Reluctantly and timidly..." because rain is a cleanser for nature. A thunderstorm is alarming and attractive at the same time. I think I smell the rain.
