Creativity Lermontov as critics have repeatedly noted, thoroughly permeated with motifs of protest and rebellion.The poet-rebel poet loner seeking peace in the storms, perceiving him on this earth forever persecuted stranger Lermontov not humbled nor tyranny kings of the earth, with no self-will of the rulers of heaven.Proud accommodating in his soul hell contradictions, sorrows and suffering demon - that's the true hero of Lermontov, here are a reflection of his inner "I".And more surprisingly common among the angry, fiery, sharp, ironic lines of the poet thin and soulful lyrical miniatures.Yes, he wrote several poems, which he called "Prayer".
Poems 1839
«Prayer" Lermontov, which will be discussed in this article has been written in recent years, the poet's life - more precisely, in 1839. Inspired by the beneficial influence it "angel of light" Lermontov - Masha Scherbatova (Princess Maria Alexeyevna), who loved seriously, understand Lermontov's creativity, high tsenivshey him as a poet and man.Moreover, Shcherbatova experienced a deep sense to Lermontov.In moments of intimate conversations, when a young man shared with the princess innermost thoughts, experiences, sorrows, Shcherbatova advised him to turn to God.Heavenly Father Bear your grief, resentment, indignation.And ask Him for help."Prayer" Lermontov - is embodied in the poetic form of the covenant of a young woman, the answer, addressed to her.
interpretation of the poetic text
How unlike most of the poem that the poet had to write!Soft and melodious intonation, reproduce, apparently, that the tone of the main talks.Calm, confidence the story of the most important, intimate, that can happen in the life of each of us."Prayer" Lermontov - a reproduction of such situations when a person ceases to rely only on themselves or others.When only a higher power can help, comfort, give hope.That's about it - the first stanza of the work.The author emphasizes: God, we remember when it becomes bad, hopeless, when the heart of the "Close sadness," and we do not see any lumen.What remains the man to the abyss?Prayer!Lermontov in the second stanza of the poem speaks about her "grace" the force that the words of the prayer "live", full of "holy charms."What does it mean?Fertile - t. E. To save, because in Christianity "grace" - the message to people about the possibility of salvation, forgiveness, eternal life.From here it extends the semantic logic chain to the epithet "living words".On the one hand, Lermontov's poem "Prayer" emphasize that the text of the reference to God, to the saints, there are no age, repeated thousands and thousands of people they barely know and learn to say the baby, and lived on the old man.They are alive, while faith is alive.On the other - poetic verses emphasize that ease the soul in prayer, a person feels better, like being reborn again.Lermontov - artist and as a creative person, feels the beauty of the world in a variety of its manifestations.He can not react to the aesthetic side of the divine word, their special poetics, "the beauty of the holy."So with another, unexpected side is revealed to us "Prayer" Lermontova.I third stanza - confidential description of what a man feels after talking with God.It is a catharsis, purification, rebirth, transformation.Thus, in a poem MYLermontov's "Prayer" is clearly traced three-part composition, it helps to understand the ideological and aesthetic level.
This is an amazing work of the poet.
