How often do people, when they say the word “home,” do not separate it from the perception of their native village, their small Motherland. The daughters and sons who left him come to their parents’ house to rest their tormented souls here. So it was with the great poet S. A. Yesenin.
Yesenin’s homeland is women and men working on the currents, a “raspberry field”, “spirited oak forests”, “birch thickets”, “scarlet dawns”, “yellow nettles”, “an old mill - a nurse”, and, of course, the poet’s house , who was for Yesenin support and support in life. In one of the poems
the author says: “We are all homeless, how much do we need.” It turns out that not much: to have somewhere a father’s house, an “old mother”, “parents’ dinner” and “warmth of family”. In difficult moments of testing, the poet only had to “close his eyes” to see his parents’ house, “his native outskirts, through the snowstorm a light at the window.”
Pieces from the poet’s many poems can be collected and imagined what Yesenin’s home was like. Undoubtedly, this is a “low house with blue shutters”, next to it is a “dry wattle fence”, a little further away is an “old maple tree on one leg”. And you open the door to the hut and see a modest
peasant housing. In the corner is an icon of the Mother of God with a towel embroidered with “red threads”; a little further away there is a cradle with a “baby” lying in it and a stove!
What Russian hut could do without a huge, clean white stove, which “howled somehow wildly and strangely on a rainy night.” What did a Russian stove mean to a person of that era? This is an opportunity to warm up on frosty days, and “to get rid of the disease by sweating a fair amount.” What could be more fragrant and tastier than pies with a slightly burnt crust, which were prepared with love by an old mother! How many fairy tales have been told, how many songs have been sung on a hot bed! It is no coincidence that, being separated from his home, Yesenin asks his sister Shura:
You sing me that song from before
The old mother sang to us.
Without regretting the lost hope,
I can sing along with you.
Sing to me. After all, my joy is
That I have never loved alone
And the gate of the autumn garden,
And fallen rowan leaves.
“Wicket of the autumn garden”, “rowan leaves” - this is also Yesenin’s birthplace. The house, the garden, the “old cat”, “restless cackling hens”, “shaggy puppies”, “decrepit cow” and even the smell of “fresh milk” in the hut - all this is so close and dear to the poet’s heart. Yesenin doesn’t need the other side:
Oh, and I know these countries -
I myself have walked a long way there,
Only closer to my native land
I would like to turn around now.
But that tender slumber faded away,
Everything decayed in blue smoke.
Peace be with you - straw of the field!
Peace to you - wooden house!

How often do people, when they say the word “home,” do not separate it from the perception of their native village, their small Motherland. The daughters and sons who left him come to their parents’ house to rest their tormented souls here. So it was with the great poet S.A. Yesenin.
Yesenin’s homeland is women and men working on the currents, a “raspberry field”, “spirited oak forests”, “birch thickets”, “scarlet dawns”, “yellow nettles”, “an old mill-nurse”, and, of course, the poet’s house , who was for Yesenin support and support in life.

Pieces from the poet’s many poems can be collected and imagined what Yesenin’s home was like.

What Russian hut could do without a huge, clean white stove, which “howled somehow wildly and strangely on a rainy night.” What did a Russian stove mean to a person of that era? This is an opportunity to warm up on frosty days, and “to get rid of the disease by sweating a fair amount.” And what could be more aromatic and tastier than pies with a slightly burnt crust, which the old mother lovingly prepared! How many fairy tales have been told, how many songs have been sung on a hot bed! It is no coincidence that, being separated from his home, Yesenin asks his sister Shura:

“The gate of the autumn garden”, “the leaves of rowan trees” - this is also Yesenin’s birthplace. The house, the garden, the “old cat”, “restless clucking chickens”, “shaggy puppies”, “decrepit cow” and even the smell of “fresh milk” in the hut - all this is so close and dear to the poet’s heart. Yesenin doesn’t need the other side:
Oh, and I know these countries -
I myself have walked a long way there,
Only closer to my native land
I would like to turn around now.
But that tender slumber faded away,
Everything decayed in blue smoke.

LOVE
"I love and that means I live!" (V.S. Vysotsky)
I love and that means I live!
I will make a bed for lovers,
Let them sing in their dreams and in reality!
I breathe - and that means I love!
I love - and that means I live!
V. S. Vysotsky
L.N. Tolstoy has a story “How People Live.” Throughout the entire work of the great humanist there are thoughts that people live not by caring for themselves, but by “love alone.” He who is in love is in God and God is in him, because God is love.” What did the author mean by repeating this phrase? I think I was thinking not only about love for God, for the Motherland, for my family. L.N. Tolstoy, but also about the love of a man for a woman...
Vivid examples of true love, without which life is impossible, were painted by Russian classics in their works. Let us remember the desperate Katerina Kabanova, a married woman who dared to fall in love, Andrei Bolkonsky and Pierre Bezukhov, who idolized Natasha Rostova, the little official Zheltkov, like an oath, pronouncing a hymn to his beloved woman: “Hallowed be your name!”
I. Turgenev’s hero also loves the rebellious Bazarov, who before meeting A.S. Odintsova cynically reasoned that love does not exist at all, did not accept women as equals, and believed that only freaks think freely between them. And now he meets Anna Sergeevna, whom he also initially looks at as some kind of mammal. But these are all words! From the first minute, noting her amazing shoulders and the fact that she was not like other women, the nihilist felt the originality of this woman. Having met her at the hotel, Bazarov is embarrassed, embarrassed, for which he is annoyed with himself that “he was scared of the women!” During the day, he more than once surprised Arkady with his verbosity, so unusual for him, with the topic of his chosen conversation, with the fact that he was clearly trying to keep his interlocutor busy... Everything indicated that Bazarov was fascinated by the provincial landowner. His assessment of this woman sounds rude - “first class.” “, but one can hear frank admiration in her.
I love reading and re-reading the chapter in which I.S. Turgenev describes how Bazarov’s great true love is born. He, who was not afraid of anything or anyone, is timid in the living room of Odintsova’s house, laughing at himself for becoming meek, trying to be near her more often, amazed at how much this “woman with a brain” wants to know. While visiting Odintsova, Bazarov is constantly irritated, grumbling about the measured, solemn correctness of daily life. Indignant against life according to a schedule, which seemed to roll on rails, he did not yet realize that his discontent had another reason. The hero was irritated by the anxiety that appeared in his soul, which “tormented and enraged him.” As soon as he remembered Odintsov, his blood burned. But Bazarov, a strong man, could easily cope with his blood. Irritation arose because, left alone, he was indignantly aware of the romanticism in himself. Romantic in love! What does Bazarov not do to suppress his love for this woman: he walks with long strides through the forest, breaks branches, scolds in a low voice, climbs into the hayloft, stubbornly closing his eyes, forces himself to fall asleep... But through his closed eyelids he sees her, feels those chaste hands someday they will wrap themselves around his neck, that these proud lips will respond to his kisses... And how sincere our hero is in moments of explanation with Odintsova: “So know that I love you, stupidly, madly...” Here it is, love, without which man cannot live! Love given to an atheist by God!
Thus, most people cannot live without love, this wonderful feeling that gives lovers not only happiness, but also life!
“Love is like lightning, it flashed and went out.” (I. Bunin.)
M. Lermontov has wonderful lines:
I can't define love
But this is the strongest passion! - be in love
I need...
Many famous philosophers, writers, and poets could not define what love is. They couldn’t because “love, according to K. Paustovsky, has thousands of aspects, and each of them has its own light, its own sadness, its own happiness and its own fragrance.”
The Russian writer I. Bunin has a unique view of this most beautiful feeling. In the collection “Dark Alleys” he talks about a bright and unusual love that flared up and went out. It is no coincidence that the author of these short stories wrote the words: “Love is like lightning, it flashed and went out.” I don’t think that by the word “extinguished” Bunin meant the episodic nature of the feeling, its inconstancy. No, it's something else. “It went out”, which means it did not illuminate the lovers with happiness, but only illuminated them with memory... Let’s take any Bunin story and make sure that at least one of the heroes continues to love and remember after the breakup.
Here is Nadezhda, the heroine of the short story “Dark Alleys,” who has been faithful to the man who abandoned her for thirty years. She is faithful because she loves and... cannot forgive. Here it is, lightning, flashing instantly and illuminating, if not with happiness, but with sadness, the whole life of this strong woman.
The heroes of the story “Natalie”, who have been walking for decades towards happiness, happiness together, conquering separation, distance and even time. But, alas, you can’t escape fate... Having found each other, suffocating with happiness, they lose it: death destroys their union...
Or the hero of the story “Clean Monday”, madly in love with a beautiful, mysterious Muscovite. In his eyes, his beloved is perfect, and not only in his! The famous actor-womanizer Kachalov, admiring the charming girl, calls her “The Tsar Maiden, the Shamakhan Queen...” The young man loves his chosen one not only for her beauty, but also for her intelligence, erudition, decency, and honesty. He loves, but does not find happiness. The girl chooses a different path for herself: having abandoned worldly life, she, without saying a word to him, goes to the monastery for great tonsure. And the man rushes around Moscow in melancholy, trying to drown his grief, his unrequited feeling in wine...
All the examples I have given indicate that I. Bunin believed in love, bowed to it, and sang of it! But, alas, he sang of unrequited, unhappy, lost love... (329 words)
Yesenin briefly described the creative path that he had traveled - for him, the main thing was always the feeling of the Motherland. First of all, the Motherland was the poet’s home. His work is associated with the expression “Village Rus'”, and with boundless love for the countryside, open spaces, nature, and Russian life. According to Yesenin, this love originated in Sergei Yesenin’s native village of Konstantinovo, with which the poet always felt a close connection, even if he was very far from these places.

The image of one’s home plays a significant role in Yesenin’s lyrical poems.
The most iconic work was the small poem “Rus”. S. Yesenin creates an image in it native land generally. He is puzzled by the question concerning her fate, describes the suffering and hopes of his own people, and attempts to find an answer to the question of why he experiences a feeling of love for his homeland.
The poet endlessly cherishes all the signs of his native land. Most of all, he values its great people, who cope with great troubles and suffering without complaint, and live with faith in the bright future of the Fatherland. The poet called one of his nostalgic poems “Letter to Mother.” From the side of S. Yesenin, an appeal to his beloved and dearest woman sounds like an attempt to hide from melancholy. The hero was flooded with memories of his old mother and his home. The main joy for his soul is love for his mother and the house in which he lived. Two inseparable images personifying peace and tranquility, which the poet strives to regain.
Almost all his life S. Yesenin was concerned about the fate of the Russian village. The poet in his early poems depicts the Russian village, first of all, showing the beauty of nature. But having reached mature age, S. Yesenin begins to think about what future awaits Russia and the Russian village. Of course, he has faith in the renewal of Russia, but he bitterly admits the fact that “what is happening is not the kind of socialism” on which he pinned his hopes. The poet begins to feel sad “for the passing, ... native”, to fear that the old Russian village will be crushed by the force of the dead mechanical city. Yesenin, as a patriot, wanted to see the Motherland strong. Although he always remembered the “log hut” as a symbol of his small homeland for him.

The theme of the homeland and love for it is an integral feature of Sergei Yesenin’s lyrics. This poet is very sensitive to the places where he grew up and where his parents stayed. In his poems he glorifies the nature of Russia and ordinary people living in this country. The image of one’s home and motherland is present in such works as: “I left my native home...”, “The feather grass is sleeping. The dear plain...” and “Returning to the Motherland.”
The poem “The feather grass is sleeping. The dear plain...” consists of several landscape sketches demonstrating the nature of Russia, which the poet likes so much: “The light of the moon, mysterious and long, The willows are crying, the poplars are whispering.” Yesenin tends not only to praise his homeland, but also to point out to its shortcomings, for example, to the difficult living conditions: “rejoicing, raging and suffering” - people live in Rus', however, in the opinion of the lyrical hero, “no one will stop loving their father’s fields under the cry of a crane.”

The poet ends the poem with the following lines: “Give me in my beloved homeland, loving everything, to die in peace” - this suggests that his native place for Sergei Alexandrovich is both the place where he grew up and was brought up and the last refuge, and he has no other path for himself does not see.
In the work “Return to the Homeland,” the poet, on behalf of the lyrical hero, talks about his return to his native land and the changes that have occurred there. “I couldn’t recognize my father’s house,” says the lyrical hero - this shows the reader that Yesenin only has memories of the old days. It is symbolic that only the cemetery near the mountain remained recognizable - as if everything that Sergei Alexandrovich could not find in the village was buried there. The author does not forget to express his position on communism and the events that took place in the country in general: “Are you a communist? No!...Such disgusting! Just hang yourself!” - he believes that the ideology spread by the authorities harms the people and the younger generation ceases to respect the older ones: “The sadder and more hopeless the mother and grandfather are, the more merrily the sister’s mouth laughs.” In this poem, Sergei Yesenin ironically talks about the problems of society at the intersection of beliefs: “ And it’s funny to me how the nimble girl grabs me by the scruff of the neck in everything..."
The lyrical work “I left my birthplace...” talks about nostalgia for home and relatives. Sergei Alexandrovich sees his mother missing him against the backdrop of a rural landscape: “The three-star birch tree above the pond warms the sadness of the old mother” - and the already gray-haired father “ Like an apple blossom, gray hair flowed through my father’s beard.” Comparing himself with an old maple tree, the poet shows that a piece of his soul still lives in his native land, like this tree: “There is joy in it for those who kiss the leaves of the rain, because the old maple’s head resembles me.”
The image of a house in Sergei Yesenin’s lyrics represents beautiful village landscapes, portraits of aged parents and nostalgia for childhood times, when much was different: “Oh, dear land! You are not the same, not the same.”

During the classes.
1.Introduction.
You are finishing your school literature course, and very soon you will have to write an exam essay. Of the nine topics proposed this year, one (on the twentieth century) will be so-called “cross-cutting”, i.e. traditional. It's about about spiritual, moral categories: a person in search of the meaning of life, the theme of the homeland, nature, love, mercy, honor and duty, etc. Today I propose to reflect on the theme of the House, which sounds especially alarming to every writer and poet of the twentieth century. We will look at how the image of the House develops, family hearth in the lyrics of S. Yesenin and what ideological content it is filled with. I deliberately chose Yesenin, his most famous poems. Not long ago I had the opportunity to communicate with someone your age, a Cheboksary schoolgirl. The girl is smart, loves literature, and is going to the philology department. And in a conversation she asked who my favorite poet is. - ...It’s hard to name one... - And I adore Mayakovsky! - Mayakovsky has many wonderful poems. But, you must admit, he is a special poet, very loud. How do you like Yesenin? “Yesenin...” she drawled in disappointment. - This is such a primitive thing. This is such a harsh sentence. Primitive is superficial, shallow, momentary. Maybe not primitive, but simple? And these are different things. Pushkin is great in his exquisite simplicity. And every good poet writes more simply in maturity. So let's figure out what is hidden behind Yesenin's simplicity, primitiveness or wisdom. During the discussion of the problem, we will turn to the analysis of poems, and this is also necessary for you, since two topics in the exam will be related to the interpretation of lyrical works. But if you not only understand the topic lesson, but you will also experience moments of special excitement, if the poems touch you to the quick, and someone, perhaps, will rediscover Yesenin - that means our lesson has taken place.
2.Analysis of the poem “Go, my dear Rus'!” (1914)
The language of music will help us in the perception of poetry. Against the background of music (an orchestra of folk instruments), I recite a poem by heart. After reading, we talk: - What mood is the poem permeated with? It sparkles with happiness, joy, love for the native land. - What size is the poem written in? (Chant, show the diagram). Indeed, the poet uses trochee. This size, as well as the active use of verbs (run, ring, buzz) emphasize the festive mood of the poem.
Who does the lyrical hero feel like?
A visiting pilgrim.
But pilgrim pilgrims went to holy places, monasteries, and prayed to miraculous icons. And what does the lyrical hero worship? Fields, poplars, huts. - In the first stanza, an amazing image of a peasant hut is born - “a hut - in the vestments of an image.” What is an image? (icons) And the chasuble? (gilded frame, icon frame).
What color image is adjacent to the “hut-image” metaphor?
“Only blue sucks eyes.” Let's listen to the line. (I read, highlighting consonant sounds). What did you notice about the sound of the line? The poet uses sound notation and alliteration on whistling consonants. And for what? What sensation is born? A blinding, eye-corroding blue. Do you know the feeling of the piercing blue spaces, when you involuntarily squint your eyes? - But Yesenin’s color painting is symbolic. What does blue mean in early lyrics? It is heavenly, heavenly, sublime. Yesenin even heard “something blue” in the word “Russia”. It turns out that an elegant peasant hut is not just a dwelling, it is something sacred, a manifestation of the divine on earth. Home is truly the embodiment of love.
Let's see what sounds fill the artistic space
poems?
Girlish laughter, dancing in the meadow.
Major sounds.
And although there are no people in the poem, they are invisibly present in the sounds of folk festivities. The poet is not alone, he feels like a part of his people. - What smells does the poet convey? With which Orthodox holiday are they connected? The smell of apples and honey are associated with the Savior. - Why do churches on Savior smell not of incense, but of apples and honey? A wonderful tradition is to bring the first harvest of apples, the first harvest of honey to the temple. Our ancestors subtly felt their connection with nature; They felt themselves not masters, not conquerors, but children of nature and “meekly” thanked the Creator for his generosity - maybe that’s why Yesenin called Spas “meek.” The poet respected folk customs, and when the Soviet government mercilessly destroys churches and spirituality, Yesenin will experience this painfully. So, biblical, sound images, color painting and even the finely chosen ancient Russian word “Rus” instead of “Russia” affirm the indissoluble connection of times, the unity of man and nature. Such depth in 20 lines of a youthful poem! Researchers say that Yesenin had practically no student period - he immediately declared himself as a great, original poet.
Let us summarize the analysis. I'll start the sentence and you finish it.
The image of a peasant hut in Yesenin’s early lyrics is the personification of... (Motherland, nature, historical traditions of the people).
3. The teacher’s word with reference to the collage drawing.
The image of the hut, along with the birch tree and the moon, wanders from one poem to another.
Hut-old woman jaw threshold
Chewing the fragrant crumb of silence...
Where are you, where are you, father's house,
Warming your back under a hill?..
I left my home
Rus' left blue...
Do you hear how notes of sadness creep into the poems? And in the twenties, the mood of the poems will change sharply, and the romantic image of the hut will be replaced by the eerie image of “skeleton houses.” In the twenties, the motif of returning to one’s home sounds more and more insistently. (“Soviet Rus'”, “Leaving Rus'”). In the poem “Return to the Homeland,” Yesenin does not recognize his home, in which on the wall instead of an icon there is “calendar Lenin,” “exactly like in the city.” The city is advancing on the village, strangling it " with stone hands highway". And Yesenin’s city is not only the embodiment of technical civilization, it is a new ideology, a cruel system of suppression. Yesenin sensed the death of the village before anyone else. And although the icon was replaced by “calendar Lenin”, and instead of the Bible in the hut, “Capital” by Marx, Yesenin admits:
But for some reason, still with a bow
I sit down on a wooden bench.
And in another poem, “The feather grass sleeps, the dear plain...” the poet rebels against the new life:
I still remain a poet
Golden log hut.
... Yesenin was very homesick, for his mother, and often visited Konstantinovo. In 1925 (What is this date in Yesenin’s life?), in Last year Yesenin was home five times in his life. At this time, he writes poems and messages to his grandfather and sister; the poet devotes three poems to his mother, Tatyana Fedorovna.
4. I read the poem “Letter to Mother.” The music comes in with the house theme.
Such a simple poem, and every time you hear it, your heart sank. From what?
It concerns each of us. We all feel guilty about our mother. We offend and worry mothers, but they forgive everything, wait for the “return of the prodigal son,” regardless of whether he is famous or modest, poor or rich, healthy or sick. The poet found achingly tender words for his mother. By the way, he did not devote poems of such lyrical power to any of his many lovers.
Let's try to unravel the secret of the emotional impact of the poem.
What style of words predominates in the poem?
Colloquial, colloquial (very, bitter drunkard, sadanet). Low style conveys vulgarity and dirt of everyday life. The more disgusting the scenes of this life (a drunken fight), the higher the meaning is filled with the artistic image with which the poet begins and ends the poem.
Yesenin resorts to high style twice. Have you found this expression yet? Of course, this is the image of the “evening unspeakable light.” - What does “unspeakable” mean? Ineffable, which cannot be expressed in words.
And the evening light - how do you visually imagine it? Blue, starry, lunar - emanating from the sky, celestial bodies. The pronoun “that” also indicates the higher origin of this light. (not from this world). Like a halo, a radiance flows over the hut (for this is not just a hut, but a father’s house), over a simple woman in an “old-fashioned, dilapidated shushun” (for she is the Mother, the guardian angel). - It seemed to me that the poem and painting by K. Petrov-Vodkin, a contemporary of Yesenin, are very consonant. Is not it? Find the similarities. Both the poet and the artist sing of maternal love. Both women are associated with the hut. The same log walls, wooden table, milk pot. But in simplicity lies the poetry of life.
Pay attention to the icon case - a place for icons. Kyoto is ruined. And from Yesenin:
And don’t teach me how to pray, don’t…
But the Mother of God did not leave the house; in the artist, as in the poet, she took on the appearance of a woman-mother, the only difference is that in the picture she is a young mother. The same blue light as in the poem streams through the window into the upper room. The window occupies an important place in the composition of the picture; it seems to connect the small cozy world home with a huge world. It’s as if the artist wants to say that only the mother, with her all-forgiving love, will save the world, mired in endless wars and enmity. - Let’s return to the poem. Finish the sentence: Yesenin’s house in his later poems is the embodiment of... (holy maternal love).
5. Poem “The golden grove dissuaded”
And the last poem today will be read in class, which also became a song - “The golden grove dissuaded me.” But we won’t listen to the song, although G. Ponomorenko composed a beautiful melody. Let's try to hear the poems themselves and, perhaps, understand them differently. (Reading the poem by heart).- You have heard these lines many times. What is the poem about? Not a landscape sketch, but philosophical understanding the transience of life.
Look at the date the poem was created.
The poet will soon be 30, and besides, like all poets, Yesenin prophetically foresaw his imminent death. And here he sums it up - a farewell poem. - Who does the poet feel like? A wanderer who has stopped on the road of life. And also an autumn grove. The poet and the grove are twins, as if growing into each other. Humanize the world All poets can do this; this technique is called personification. And Yesenin felt like a tree, grass, a month. This is a unique phenomenon in poetry; researchers called this innovative technique “reverse personification.” Only Yesenin could say:
My head flies around
The bush of golden hair withers...
Yesenin even joked about his last name: “Autumn and ash live in me.” And that’s when we realized main image poem, it becomes clear why “the golden grove dissuaded me with a birch, cheerful language.” The meaning of the last lines is revealed:
...Like a tree quietly drops its leaves,
So I drop sad words.
And if time, scattered by the wind,
Sweeps them all into one unnecessary lump,
(What will it sweep away? Poems, of course. But there were decades when Yesenin was banned, considered a decadent poet).
Say that the grove is golden
She answered with sweet language.
If in the first stanza the logical emphasis fell on “dissuaded,” then in the last stanza it is emphasized with “sweet language.” The poet wanted us to call his language sweet. Can you call his poems “sweet”? Of course, they teach love for all living things. Guys, the ending in Yesenin’s poem is Pushkin’s. A year before his death, Pushkin writes in the famous “Monument”:
And for a long time I will be so kind to the people,
That I awakened good feelings with my lyre...
And from Yesenin:
...Say that the grove is golden
She talked me out of it in a sweet way.
So, the poem is philosophical. And what meaning is the image filled with?
at home in this poem? Who do you feel sorry for? After all, every wanderer in the world will pass, enter and leave home again... Home is the whole world, earthly life, eternal nature. “The rowan tassels will not get burned,” and the grass will turn green, and the cranes will return. Nature inspires optimism in the poet. - In what size is the poem written? (We chant, showing a rhythmic pattern). In the farewell poem, the sadness is bright, solemn, and this intonation is emphasized by iambic pentameter. The poet leaves, but the House remains. What House does Yesenin bequeath to us? Let's make a summary of the entire lesson.
After the children’s answers, we turn to the board, open the recording, and compare the students’ conclusions with the thesis they should have arrived at.
Write on the board:
