COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LYRICS A.A. FET AND DU FU

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the consideration of certain aspects of the work of A. Fet and the Chinese poet of the Tang – Du Fu, the general features of oriental motives in the work of poets. The subject is poems by A.A. Feta and Du Fu. It is concluded that each natural reality is a certain symbol, a figurative association of the main subject of the image in the poem; objects and natural phenomena are not appreciated as such, they were not emphasized on their aesthetic value. The specificity of Du Fu’s lyrics is determined: the general imagery of lyric works is due to the peculiarities of their construction, the gradual development of the figurative picture. Basically, the poem begins with a description of nature, which creates a certain mood, and further description takes place either in the mainstream of the beginning, or, conversely, in contrast to it. In the work of A. Fet in the 1940s–1950s, a significant place is occupied by poems that are firmly associated with the Pushkin-Lermontov tradition of landscape poetry. Descriptions of natural phenomena are more aimed at complementing lyrics and imagery. Having considered features of the lyrics of A. Fet and Du Fu, it is concluded that through creativity and writing poetry, the authors convey the essence of being, as an act of personal existence.
