Epitaph

“And he shone like a son of nature,
Playing with your eyes and mind,
It shone like waters sparkle in summer,
How the moon shines over the hill!”
From a poem by Nikolai Rubtsov dedicated to Tyutchev

Biography

He made a brilliant public career, which did not prevent him from becoming one of the greatest Russian poets of the 19th century and a master of lyrical landscape. The biography of Fyodor Tyutchev is the biography of a man who served his country faithfully and truly, and he also sincerely and talentedly served his other calling - poetry.

Tyutchev's father was a lieutenant of the guard, his mother came from an old noble family of Tolstoy. Little Fedor was given a good education at home - by the age of 13 he spoke Latin and Ancient Greek. The boy was destined for a good future - study at Moscow University, and then public service. The young and capable young man quickly moved up the career ladder - soon after graduation he was sent to Munich as part of the Russian diplomatic mission. In parallel with his service, Tyutchev was engaged in literary creativity. He began writing poetry as a child, and by the age of 20 his works began to be distinguished by their originality - Tyutchev managed to combine the traditions of Russian ode and European romanticism. During his service abroad, Tyutchev received the rank of chamberlain, then state councilor, and finally was appointed senior secretary of the embassy in Turin. A break from work had to be taken due to Tyutchev’s personal tragedy - his wife died, whose health was severely damaged by a shipwreck in which she and her children got into while heading to her husband. The loss of his wife, his faithful friend and mother of his children, was a shock for the poet. He lived abroad for some time, after which he returned to Russia, where he resumed his service in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A few years before his death, Tyutchev was promoted to Privy Councilor, which was considered a very high government post - he received this position thanks to his diplomacy and wisdom.

In the last years of his life, Tyutchev wrote a lot, creating a large number of poems on political and love themes. Six months before his death, Tyutchev was partially paralyzed, which led to severe headaches. Soon he was struck by a strong blow, paralyzing the entire left half of his body. A few months later, Tyutchev died; the cause of Tyutchev’s death was the consequences of a stroke he suffered. Tyutchev's funeral took place on July 18, 1873; Tyutchev's grave is located in the cemetery of the Novodevichy Convent.

Episodes of life

According to eyewitnesses, sitting at the coffin of his deceased first wife, Tyutchev turned gray overnight. But, evil tongues said, he turned gray not from grief, but from the fact that he repented of his love affair with his wife. A year after the death of his first wife, Tyutchev married his mistress, with whom he had a relationship during the last years of his first marriage. But this connection was not the last for the poet. So, his affair with Elena Deniseva lasted several years, until her death. Denisyeva gave birth to three children for the poet, two of whom died several years before Tyutchev’s death, which also became a serious tragedy for him.

And yet Tyutchev could hardly be called a cruel traitor - he loved both his wife and his mistress equally, and could not imagine life without each of them. Tyutchev once wrote to his wife, whom he considered a saint, already during his relationship with Deniseva: “How much dignity and seriousness there is in your love - and how petty and how pathetic I feel compared to you!.. The further, the more I am falling in my own opinion, and when everyone sees me as I see myself, my work will be over.”

Tyutchev outlived his mistress by nine years, and his second wife outlived her husband by more than twenty years. It is Ernestine Pfeffel that society today should be indebted to for having Tyutchev’s legacy. Tyutchev never took himself seriously as a writer; poetry was for him a way of sublimating his personal experiences, and journalistic articles were the result of his thoughts about the fate of Russia. After Tyutchev’s death, his wife collected and rewrote all her husband’s poems and articles, even those dedicated to Deniseva, thereby preserving them.

Condolences

“Tyutchev was a representative of true and refined culture: a type, rare in its value at that time, and non-existent in our days. In him, in his culture, there lived a deep heredity - next to the Slavic - Latin, Germanic heredity. Tyutchev, of course, is the most cultured of all our poets. Even in Pushkin I feel this less than in Tyutchev.”
Prince Sergei Volkonsky, theater figure, director, critic

“We have one less smart, characterful, original person. The loss is painful in our fatal desolation! Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev died at the age of 70, in Tsarskoye Selo, on July 15th, after several blows that befell him during recent times. Who did not know in St. Petersburg and Moscow, in the highest and educated circles, Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev?
Mikhail Pogodin, historian, collector

“Dear, smart as day Fyodor Ivanovich, forgive me - goodbye!”
Ivan Turgenev, Russian writer

Features of creativity
“Tyutchev was not prolific as a poet (his legacy is about 300 poems). Having started publishing early (from the age of 16), he was published rarely, in little-known almanacs, in the period 1837-47. wrote almost no poetry and generally cared little about his reputation as a poet.” (Mikhailovsky, 1939, p. 469.)
“Melancholy,” testified I.S. Aksakov, - constituted, as it were, the main tone of his poetry and his entire moral being... As often happens with poets, torment and pain became the strongest activators for Tyutchev. The poet, who had been silent for fourteen years, not only returned to literary activity, but it was after the death of E.A. Denisyeva, in his seventh decade, when poets finally run out of steam, created his best poems... He had no “creative ideas,” hours allotted for work, notebooks, drafts, preparations, in general, everything that is called creative work. He didn't pore over poetry. He wrote down his insights on invitations, napkins, postal sheets, in random notebooks, just on scraps of paper that came to hand. P.I. Kapnist testified: “Tyutchev, thoughtfully, wrote a sheet at a meeting of the censor board and left the meeting, leaving it on the table.” If Kapnist had not picked up what he wrote, they would never have known “No matter how difficult the last hour is...”. Unconsciousness, intuitiveness, improvisation are the key concepts for his work.” Garin, 1994, vol. 3, p. 324, 329, 336-337, 364.)

Although Tyutchev’s poetry is divided thematically into political, civil, landscape, love lyrics, it is often stipulated that this division is conditional: behind the different thematic layers there is a single principle of seeing the world - philosophical.

F. I. Tyutchev as a poet-philosopher

He has not only thinking poetry, but poetic thought; not a reasoning, thinking feeling - but a feeling and living thought. Because of this, the external artistic form is not put on his thought, like a glove on a hand, but has grown together with it, like a covering of skin with the body; it is the very flesh of thought. (I.S. Aksakov).

Each of his poems began with a thought, but a thought that, like a fiery point, flared up under the influence of a deep feeling or strong impression; as a result of this, Mr. Tyutchev’s thought never appears naked and abstract to the reader, but always merges with an image taken from the world of the soul or nature, is imbued with it, and itself penetrates it inseparably and inextricably. (I.S. Turgenev).

Political lyrics by F. I. Tyutchev

The poet, without whom, according to Leo Tolstoy, “one cannot live,” until the end of his days was and recognized himself as a politician, diplomat, and historian. He was constantly at the center of the political and social life of Europe, the world, Russia, even on his deathbed he asked: “What political news has arrived?” He was a contemporary of the War of 1812, the Decembrist uprising, the “dark seven years” in Russia, the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 years in the West. The politician Tyutchev observed and assessed events, the poet spoke of his time as a fatal era.

Blessed is he who visited this world in its fatal moments!
"Cicero", 1830

At the same time, Tyutchev the poet does not have poems about specific historical events. There is a philosophical response to them, a detachment, a supra-worldliness of their vision, the view not of a participant, but of a contemplator of events.

He was not a supporter of revolutions, any coups, and did not sympathize with the Decembrists:

O victims of reckless thought, You hoped, perhaps, That your blood would become scarce, To melt the eternal pole! Barely, smoking, she sparkled

On the centuries-old mass of ice, the iron winter died - and not a trace remained.

Perhaps the poet’s life itself, the eternal desire to combine opposite principles, determined his vision of the world. The idea of ​​duality, the dual existence of man and nature, the discord of the worlds lies at the heart of the philosophical lyrics and thoughts of Tyutchev the poet.

The feeling of a person being on the edge, on the border of two worlds, the expectation and feeling of catastrophe became the main theme of Tyutchev’s philosophical lyrics.

Landscape lyrics

Man and nature, Tyutchev believes, are united and inseparable, they live according to the general laws of existence.

Thought after thought; wave after wave -
Two manifestations of one element:
Whether in a cramped heart, or in a boundless sea,
Here - in captivity, there - in the open -
The same eternal surf and rebound,
The same ghost is still alarmingly empty.
“Wave and Thought”, 1851.

Man is a small part of nature, the universe, he is not free to live according to his own will, his freedom is an illusion, a ghost:

Only in our illusory freedom
We are aware of the discord.
“There is a melodiousness in the waves of the sea,” 1865.

Discord created by man himself leads to disharmony of his being, inner world, to discord between man and the outside world. Two opposing principles are created: one is the embodiment of darkness, chaos, night, abyss, death, the other is light, day, life. For example, in the poem “Day and Night,” the two-part composition correlates with the main motifs of the poem by alternating day and night, light and darkness, life and death.

But the day fades - night has come;
Came from the world of fate
Fabric of blessed cover,
Having torn it off, it throws it away
And the abyss is laid bare to us
With your fears and darkness,
And there are no barriers between her and us -
This is why the night is scary for us!
"Day and Night", 1839

Tyutchev's lyrical hero is constantly on the edge of worlds: day and night, light and darkness, life and death. He is afraid of the gloomy abyss, which at any moment can open before him and swallow him up.

And the man is like a homeless orphan,
Now he stands weak and naked,
Face to face before the dark abyss.
“The holy night has risen into the sky,” 1848-5s

During the day, even in the evening light, the world is calm, beautiful, harmonious. Many of Tyutchev’s landscape sketches are about this world. There are in the initial autumn
A short but wonderful time -
The whole day is like crystal,
And the evenings are radiant
1857
There are in the brightness of autumn evenings
Sweet, mysterious beauty
1830

At night the darkness comes and reveals itself

The horror of the abyss, death, tragedy

The vault of heaven, burning with the glory of the stars,
Looks mysteriously from the depths, -
And we are floating in a burning abyss
Surrounded on all sides.
“How the ocean envelops the globe,” 1830.

The theme of man as a small particle of the universe, which is unable to resist the power of universal darkness, fate, fate, originates from poetry

Lomonosov, Derzhavin, will be continued in the poems of poets of the early twentieth century..

Enchantress in winter
Bewitched, the forest stands -
And under the snow fringe,
motionless, mute
He shines with a wonderful life.
1852

Love lyrics. Addressees of love lyrics

Addressees of Tyutchev's love lyrics

The poet's first wife was Eleanor Peterson, née Countess Bothmer. From this marriage there were three daughters: Anna, Daria and Ekaterina.

Widowed, the poet married Ernestine Dernberg, née Baroness Pfeffel, in 1839. Maria and Dmitry were born to them in Munich, and their youngest son Ivan was born in Russia.

In 1851 (he was already familiar with Denisyeva), Tyutchev wrote to his wife Eleonora Fedorovna: “There is no creature in the world smarter than you. I have no one else to talk to... Me, who speaks to everyone.” And in another letter: "... although you love me four times less than before, you still love me ten times more than I am worth."

Two years after the death of her husband, Eleanor Fedorovna accidentally found in her album a piece of paper signed in French: “For you (to sort it out in private).” Next came the poems written in the same 1851:

I don’t know if grace will touch
My painfully sinful soul,
Will she be able to rise up and rebel,
Will the spiritual fainting pass?

But if the soul could
Find peace here on earth,
You would be a blessing to me -
You, you, my earthly providence!..

Tyutchev's love for Elena Denisyeva brought the poet both great happiness and greatest sorrow. Tyutchev's feeling was subject to the laws of his existence and creativity. Love united life and death, happiness and sorrow, and was a roll call of worlds.

The “double existence” of the split human soul is most clearly expressed in Tyutchev’s love lyrics.

In 1850, 47-year-old Tyutchev met twenty-four-year-old Elena Alexandrovna Denisyeva, a friend of his daughters. Their union lasted for fourteen years, until Deniseva’s death, and three children were born. Tyutchev left a confession of his love in poetry.

“No one had created such a deep female image, endowed with individual psychological traits, in lyric poetry before Tyutchev,” says Lev Ozerov. “In its nature, this image echoes Nastasya Filippovna from Dostoevsky’s “The Idiot” and Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina.”

For fourteen years Tyutchev led a double life. Loving Denisieva, he could not part with his family.

In moments of passionate feeling for Denisyeva, he writes to his wife: “There is no creature in the world smarter than you and I have no one else to talk to.”
The sudden loss of Elena Alexandrovna, the series of losses that followed her death, aggravated the feelings of a milestone, the boundaries of worlds. Love for Denisyeva is death for Tyutchev, but also the highest fullness of being, “bliss and hopelessness,” a “fatal duel” of life and death:

Here I am wandering along the high road
In the quiet light of the fading day
It's hard for my legs to freeze
My dear friend, do you see me?

It's getting darker, darker above the ground -
The last light of the day has flown away
This is the world where you and I lived,
My angel, can you see me?

Genre originality of F. I. Tyutchev’s lyrics

Literary critic Yu. Tynyanov was the first to notice, and many researchers agreed with him, that F. Tyutchev’s lyrics are not characterized by the division of poems into genres. And the genre-forming role for him is played by the fragment, “the genre of an almost extra-literary passage.”

A fragment is a thought, as if snatched from a stream of thoughts, a feeling - from a surging experience, from a continuous flow of feelings, an action, an action - from a series of human deeds: “Yes, you kept your word,” “So, I saw you again,” “The same thing happens in God’s world.”
The shape of the fragment emphasizes the endless flow, movement of thought, feeling, life, history. But all of Tyutchev’s poetics reflects the idea of ​​universal endless movement, the basis of the poem is often fleeting, instantaneous, fast-flowing in the life of man and nature:

And how, as a vision, the outside world left.
Century after century flew by.
How unexpected and bright
On the wet blue sky
Aerial arch erected
In your momentary triumph.

Features of the composition of lyrical poems

Tyutchev’s idea of ​​confrontation and, at the same time, the unity of the worlds of nature and man, the external and internal worlds, is often embodied in the two-part composition of his poems: “Predestination”, “Cicero”, “The earth still looks sad” and many others.

Another compositional technique of the poet is a direct depiction of feelings - this is Denisyev’s cycle, some landscape sketches.

Sand flowing up to your knees
We eat - it's late - the day is fading,
And pine trees, along the road, shadows
The shadows have already merged into one.
Blacker and more often deep boron -
What sad places!
The night is gloomy, like a stoic animal,
Looks out from every bush!

Lyric style

Tyutchev's lyrics are characterized by extreme compression of the space of the verse, hence its aphorism.

You can't understand Russia with your mind,
The general arshin cannot be measured:
She will become special -
You can only believe in Russia.

November 28, 1866 Under the influence of the classic poets of the 18th century, Tyutchev’s lyrics contain many rhetorical questions and exclamations:

Oh, how many sad moments
Love and joy killed!

Where and how did the discord arise?
And why in the general choir
The soul doesn’t sing like the sea,
And the thinking reed murmurs?

Perhaps, under the impression of his studies with S. Raich, in his poems Tyutchev often refers to mythological, ancient images: “unconsciousness, like

Atlas, crushing the land...", windy Hebe, feeding Zeus' eagle"

When speaking about Tyutchev’s poetic style, the term “pure poetry” will later be used.
(Philosophical lyricism is a rather conventional concept. This is the name given to deep reflections in poetry about the meaning of existence, about the fate of man, the world, the universe, about the place of man in the world. Poems by Tyutchev, Fet, Baratynsky, Zabolotsky are usually classified as philosophical lyricism...)

"Pure poetry"

In all poets, next to direct creativity, one hears doing, processing. Tyutchev has nothing done: everything is created. That is why some kind of external negligence is often visible in his poems: there are words that are outdated, out of use, there are incorrect rhymes, which, with the slightest external finishing, could easily be replaced by others.

This determines and partly limits his significance as a poet. But this also gives his poetry a special charm of sincerity and personal sincerity. Khomyakov - himself a lyric poet - said and, in our opinion, rightly, that he does not know any other poems, except Tyutchev's, that would serve as the best image of the purest poetry, which would be so thoroughly, durch und durch, imbued with poetry. I.S. Aksakov.

Characteristics of Tyutchev's creativity, Tyutchev's creativity, features of Tyutchev's creativity, Tyutchev's creativity

Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev is a nineteenth-century writer who left behind more than four hundred wonderful poems. This is a publicist and diplomat, a correspondent for the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, who had an interesting life, and in order to get to know Tyutchev better, we suggest studying his short story for children.

Biography of Tyutchev briefly the most important thing

Studying briefly the writer’s biography by date, let’s take a brief look at each stage of his life, including his childhood and youth, years of life abroad, as well as his legacy.

Childhood and youth

The writer's life begins in December 1803 with his birth. He was a calm and gifted child who was born into a noble family, where from birth much attention was paid to the child's education. At first it was home education. The teacher was the poet and translator Raich, who instilled in Fyodor a love of writing poetry. By the age of thirteen, the future writer knew Latin, science, and understood ancient Roman poetry.

Literary creativity of Tyutchev

If we talk about the writer’s literary work, then from his youth he wrote his poems, but they were not successful and only in 1836 did Tyutchev truly make his debut as a poet. This happened thanks to Pushkin, who noticed the aspiring poet and published several poems in his Contemporary. More and more collections will follow; there will even be a collection of poems that the writer will dedicate to his mistress.

Living abroad and returning to Russia

As mentioned above, after university, Tyutchev works at the College of Foreign Affairs and thus, in the role of a diplomat, ends up in Munich. He lived abroad for 22 years. There he met his first love, his wife with whom he had three girls. While in Munich, the writer became interested in German idealist philosophy. Carrying out the functions of a diplomat, he does not stop writing his works.

Then Tyutchev is transferred to Turin, where over time his wife dies. After her death, Tyutchev marries his mistress and, without the consent of the government, goes to Switzerland, thereby putting an end to his career as a diplomat. Later he will return to Munich again, try to regain his position, but after failure he will return to Russia.

In Russia, he works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a censor and continues to write. In the fifties, the writer mainly wrote on political topics.

Since 1864, Tyutchev began a black streak. The second wife dies, followed by their children, and then his mother. This was reflected in the poet’s biography by the deterioration of his health, and there was also a difficult period in his work, because the published collection did not become popular. All this did not have the best effect on the writer’s life, and in 1873 Tyutchev died in Tsarskoye Selo.

The poet's legacy

If we talk separately about the poet’s legacy, about his work and about what exactly Fyodor Ivanovich left behind, then these are more than 400 poems that were published in his collections. In his poems he wrote on various topics. There is a theme of nature, a theme of love, and works for children that we study at school, as well as political themes.

Tyutchev's biography briefly, the most important thing you will learn in this article.

Biography of Tyutchev, the most important things briefly

Fedor Ivanovich Tyutchev was born November 23, 1803 in the village of Ovstug, in the Oryol province. His parents were noble and educated people. He received an excellent education: teacher Semyon Raich taught him at home, who instilled in him a love of poetry. Already at the age of 12, Fyodor was translating the works of Horace and trying to write poems. At the age of 14 he was accepted into the staff of the Society of Lovers of Literature. And in 1816 Tyutchev became a volunteer student at Moscow University. In 1819 he entered the Faculty of Philology, which he graduated in just 2 years.

Having received a doctorate in literature, he got a job at the College of Foreign Affairs. In 1822, Tyutchev went to serve in Munich. He devoted three years to the diplomatic service. At this time I wrote poetry only for myself. He returned to his homeland only in 1825. Returning to Munich, he married Eleanor Peterson, taking custody of her 3 children from his first marriage. The couple also had their own children - 3 beautiful daughters. The city also gave him friendship with the philosopher Schelling and the poet Heine.

In the spring of 1836, Fyodor Ivanovich transferred his lyrical works to St. Petersburg, which were published in Pushkin’s magazine Sovremennik. In general, his German service lasted 15 years. In the spring of 1837, the poet and diplomat received leave and went to St. Petersburg for 3 months.

At the end of his vacation, he was redirected to Turin as first secretary and charge d'affaires of the Russian mission. His wife dies in Italy and a year later he marries Mrs. Ernestine Dernberg again. This was the beginning of the end of his diplomatic career, as he voluntarily went to Switzerland for a wedding.

Fyodor Ivanovich tried for 2 whole years to return to service, but in vain. He was permanently excluded from the list of Ministry officials. After his dismissal, Tyutchev lived for another 4 years in Munich, Germany.

Sings returned to Moscow in 1843. Soon he moved to St. Petersburg. In the spring of 1845, he was hired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

But the poet’s poems and journalistic articles brought him popularity only in 1854, when a separate collection of his poems was published.

Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev was born and spent his childhood on his father’s estate in the Oryol province. I studied at home. He knew Latin and Ancient Greek well. He learned early to understand nature. He himself wrote that he breathed the same life with nature. His first teacher was a widely educated man, poet, translator Semyon Egorovich Raich. Raich recalled that he quickly became attached to his student, because it was impossible not to love him.

He was a very affectionate, calm and very talented child. Raich awakened Tyutchev's love of poetry. He taught me to understand literature and encouraged the desire to write poetry. At the age of 15, Tyutchev entered Moscow University, and at the age of 17 he graduated and then went to serve in the Russian embassy abroad. He served as a diplomat for 22 years, first in Germany, then in Italy. And all these years he wrote poems about Russia. “I loved the Fatherland and poetry more than anything in the world,” he wrote in one of his letters from a foreign land. But Tyutchev almost never published his poems. His name as a poet was not known in Russia.

In 1826, Tyutchev married Eleanor Peterson, née Countess Bothmer. They had 3 daughters.

In 1836, Pushkin received a notebook with poems by an unknown poet. Pushkin really liked the poems. He published them in Sovremennik, but the name of the author was unknown, since the poems were signed with two letters F.T. And only in the 50s. Nekrasovsky’s contemporary had already published a selection of Tyutchev’s poems and his name immediately became famous.

His first collection was published in 1854, edited by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev. The poems were imbued with reverent, tender love for the Motherland and hidden pain for its fate. Tyutchev was an opponent of the revolution, a supporter of pan-Slavism (the idea of ​​​​unifying all Slavic peoples under the rule of the Russian autocracy). The main themes of the poems: Motherland, nature, love, reflections on the meaning of life

In philosophical lyrics, in love poetry, in landscape poetry there were always reflections on the fatal questions of existence and on the destiny of man. Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev does not have purely love poems, or about nature. Everything is intertwined with him. Each poem contains the human soul and the author himself. Therefore, Tyutchev was called a poet-thinker. Each of his poems is a reflection on something. Turgenev noted Tyutchev’s skill in depicting a person’s emotional experiences.

In December 1872, Fyodor's left half of his body was paralyzed, and his vision deteriorated sharply. Tyutchev died on July 15, 1873.
