He sits under a tree.
Come to him for treatment
Both the cow and the she-wolf,
Both a bug and a worm,
And the bear!
Heal everyone, heal
Good doctor Aibolit!

Remember, Murochka, in the country
In our puddle hot
The tadpoles were dancing
The tadpoles splashed
The tadpoles were diving
They dabbled, tumbled.

Sat on a bump
Knitted stockings

Great about poetry:
Poetry is like painting: another work will captivate you more if you look at it up close, and another if you go further away.
Small cutesy poems irritate the nerves more than the creak of greasy wheels.
The most valuable thing in life and in poetry is that which fell through.
Marina Tsvetaeva
Of all the arts, poetry is the most tempted to replace its own peculiar beauty with stolen sparkles.
Humboldt W.
Poems work well if they are created with spiritual clarity.
Writing poetry is closer to worship than is commonly believed.
If only you knew from what rubbish poetry grows without knowing shame ... Like a dandelion by the fence, Like burdocks and quinoa.
A. A. Akhmatova
Poetry is not in verses alone: it is poured everywhere, it is around us. Look at these trees, this sky - beauty and life blows from everywhere, and where there is beauty and life, there is poetry.
I. S. Turgenev
For many people, writing poetry is a mental growth disease.
G. Lichtenberg
A beautiful verse is like a bow drawn along the sonorous fibers of our being. Not our own - our thoughts make the poet sing within us. As he tells us about the woman he loves, he delightfully awakens our love and our sorrow in our souls. He's a magician. By understanding him, we become poets like him.
Where graceful verses flow, there is no room for quibbling.
Murasaki Shikibu
I am turning to Russian versification. I think that over time we will turn to blank verse. There are too few rhymes in Russian. One calls the other. The flame inevitably drags a stone behind it. Because of the feeling, art certainly peeps out. Who is not tired of love and blood, difficult and wonderful, faithful and hypocritical, and so on.
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin
- ... Are your poems good, tell yourself?
- Monstrous! Ivan suddenly said boldly and frankly.
- Do not write anymore! - asked the visitor pleadingly.
- I promise and I swear! - Ivan said solemnly ...
Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov. "The Master and Margarita"
We all write poetry; poets differ from others only in that they write them in words.
John Fowles. "The mistress of the French lieutenant"
Every poem is a blanket stretched out over the edges of a few words. These words shine like stars, because of them the poem exists.
Alexander Alexandrovich Blok
Poets of antiquity, unlike modern ones, rarely wrote more than a dozen poems during their long lives. This is understandable: they were all excellent magicians and did not like to waste themselves on trifles. Therefore, behind every poetic work of those times, the whole Universe is invariably hidden, filled with miracles - often dangerous for the one who inadvertently wakes up the dozing lines.
Max Fry. "Chatty Dead"
One of my clumsy hippopotamuses-poems I attached such a paradise tail: ...
Mayakovsky! Your poems do not warm, do not worry, do not infect!
- My poems are not a stove, not the sea and not a plague!
Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky
Poems are our inner music, clothed in words, permeated with thin strings of meanings and dreams, and therefore - chase critics. They are just pitiful slips of poetry. What can a critic say about the depths of your soul? Do not let his vulgar palpating hands go there. Let the poems seem to him an absurd hum, a chaotic heap of words. For us, this is a song of freedom from boring reason, a glorious song that sounds on the snow-white slopes of our amazing soul.
Boris Krieger. "Thousand Lives"
Poems are a thrill of the heart, excitement of the soul and tears. And tears are nothing more than pure poetry that has rejected the word.
For a long time, Korney Chukovsky, who achieved fame as a children's poet, was one of the most underestimated writers of the Silver Age. Contrary to popular belief, the genius of the creator manifested itself not only in poems and fairy tales, but also in critical articles.
Due to the casual specifics of creativity, the state throughout the life of the writer tried to discredit his works in the eyes of the public. Numerous research works made it possible to look at the eminent art worker “with different eyes”. Now both people of the "old school" and young people are read by the works of the publicist.
Childhood and youth
Nikolai Korneichukov (real name of the poet) was born on March 31, 1882 in the northern capital of Russia - the city of St. Petersburg. Mother Ekaterina Osipovna, being a servant in the house of the eminent doctor Solomon Levenson, entered into a vicious relationship with his son Emmanuel. In 1799, the woman gave birth to a daughter, Maria, and three years later gave the heir Nicholas to her common-law husband.
Despite the fact that the relationship between the offspring of a noble family and a peasant woman in the eyes of society at that time looked like a blatant misalliance, they lived together for seven years. The poet's grandfather, who did not want to be related to a commoner, in 1885, without explaining the reason, put his daughter-in-law on the street with two kids in his arms. Since Catherine could not afford a separate home, she went to stay with relatives in Odessa with her son and daughter. Much later, in his autobiographical story The Silver Coat of Arms, the poet admits that the southern city never became his home.
The writer's childhood years passed in an atmosphere of devastation and poverty. The publicist's mother worked in shifts as a seamstress, then as a laundress, but the money was sorely lacking. In 1887, the world saw the Circular of the Cook's Children. In it, the Minister of Education I.D. Delyanov recommended that the directors of grammar schools admit to the ranks of students only those children whose origins did not raise questions. Due to the fact that Chukovsky did not fit this "definition", in the 5th grade he was expelled from a privileged educational institution.
In order not to wander around and benefit the family, the young man took up any job. Among the roles that Kolya tried on himself, there was a newspaper peddler, a roof cleaner, and a posters. During that period, the young man began to take an interest in literature. He read adventure novels, studied works and, in the evenings, to the sound of the surf, recited poetry.
Among other things, the phenomenal memory allowed the young man to learn English in such a way that he translated texts from the sheet without stumbling. Then Chukovsky did not yet know that Olendorf's self-study book did not contain pages on which the principle of correct pronunciation was described in detail. Therefore, when, years later, Nikolai visited England, the fact that the locals practically did not understand him, incredibly surprised the publicist.
Journalism
In 1901, inspired by the works of his favorite authors, Korney wrote a philosophical opus. The poet's friend Vladimir Zhabotinsky, having read the work from cover to cover, took it to the newspaper "Odessa News", thus marking the beginning of Chukovsky's 70-year literary career. For the first publication, the poet received 7 rubles. For a considerable amount of money at that time, the young man bought himself presentable-looking pants and a shirt.
After two years of work in the newspaper, Nikolay was sent to London as a correspondent for "Odessa News". Throughout the year, he wrote articles, studied foreign literature, and even rewrote catalogs in the museum. During the period of the trip, eighty-nine works of Chukovsky were published.
The writer fell in love with British aestheticism so much that after many, many years he translated Whitman's works into Russian, and also became the editor of the first four-volume edition, which in the blink of an eye acquired the status of a reference book in all families loving literature.
In March 1905, the writer moved from sunny Odessa to rainy St. Petersburg. There the young journalist quickly finds a job: he gets a job as a correspondent for the newspaper Teatralnaya Rossiya, where his reports on the performances he has watched and the books he has read are published in each issue.
A subsidy from the singer Leonid Sobinov helped Chukovsky to publish the Signal magazine. The publication published exclusively political satire, and even Teffi was listed among the authors. Chukovsky was arrested for ambiguous cartoons and anti-government works. The eminent lawyer Gruzenberg managed to get an acquittal and after nine days to release the writer from prison.
Further, the publicist collaborated with the magazines "Vesy" and "Niva", as well as with the newspaper "Rech", where Nikolai published critical essays on contemporary writers. Later, these works were scattered among the books: "Faces and Masks" (1914), "Futurists" (1922), "From the Present Day" (1908).
In the fall of 1906, a summer residence in Kuokkale (the coast of the Gulf of Finland) became the writer's place of residence. There the writer was fortunate enough to meet the artist, poets, etc. Later, Chukovsky spoke about cultural figures in his memoirs “Repin. ... Mayakovsky. ... Memories "(1940).
The humorous handwritten almanac "Chukokkala" published in 1979 was also collected here, where they left their creative autographs, and. At the invitation of the government in 1916, Chukovsky, as part of a delegation of Russian journalists, again went on a business trip to England.
Literature
In 1917, Nikolai returned to St. Petersburg, where, accepting the offer of Maxim Gorky, he took over as head of the children's department of the Parus publishing house. Chukovsky tried on the role of a storyteller while working on the almanac "The Firebird". Then he opened the world a new facet of his literary genius, writing "Chicken", "Dogs Kingdom" and "Doctor".
Gorky saw great potential in the fairy tales of his colleague and invited Korney to "try his luck" and create another work for the children's supplement of the Niva magazine. The writer was worried that he would not be able to release a sensible product, but the inspiration itself found the creator. This was on the eve of the revolution.
Then, with his sick son Kolya, the publicist was returning from his dacha to St. Petersburg. In order to distract the beloved child from the attacks of the disease, the poet began to invent a fairy tale on the go. There was no time to work out the characters and the plot.
The whole stake was on the fastest alternation of images and events, so that the boy did not have time to either moan or cry. So the work "Crocodile", published in 1917, was born.
After the October Revolution, Chukovsky travels around the country with lectures and collaborates with all kinds of publishing houses. In the 1920s and 1930s, Kornei wrote the works "Moidodyr" and "Cockroach", and also adapted the texts of folk songs for children's reading, publishing the collections "Red and Red" and "Skok-Poskok". The poet published ten poetic fairy tales one after another: "Fly-Tsokotukha", "Miracle-tree", "Confusion", "What Mura did", "Barmaley", "Telephone", "Fedorino grief", "Aibolit", "Stolen Sun", "Toptygin and the Fox".
Roots Chukovsky with a drawing for "Aibolit" Korney ran to publishers, never parting with proofs for a second, and followed every printed line. Chukovsky's works were published in the magazines "New Robinson", "Hedgehog", "Koster", "Siskin" and "Sparrow". For the classic, everything turned out in such a way that at some point the writer himself believed that fairy tales were his vocation.
Everything changed after a critical article in which a revolutionary, who had no children, called the creator's works "bourgeois dregs" and argued that not only an anti-political message, but also false ideals were masked in Chukovsky's works.
After that, the secret meaning was seen in all the writer's works: in Mukha-Tsokotukh, the author popularized Komarik's individualism and Mukha's frivolity; the hero of the "Cockroach" censors and completely discerned the caricatured image.
The persecution drove Chukovsky to an extreme degree of despair. Korney himself began to believe that no one needed his fairy tales. In December 1929, a letter from the poet was published in the Literaturnaya Gazeta, in which he, renouncing his old works, promises to change the direction of his work by writing a collection of poems "The Merry Collective Farm". However, the work never came out from under his pen.
The wartime fairy tale "Let's Defeat Barmaley" (1943) was included in the anthology of Soviet poetry, and then deleted from there by Stalin personally. Chukovsky wrote another work, "The Adventures of Bibigon" (1945). The story was published in "Murzilka", recited on the radio, and then, calling it "ideologically harmful", was banned from reading.
Tired of fighting critics and censors, the writer returned to journalism. In 1962, he wrote the book "Alive as Life", in which he described the "diseases" that struck the Russian language. It should not be forgotten that a publicist who studied creativity published the complete collected works of Nikolai Alekseevich.
Chukovsky was a storyteller not only in literature, but also in life. He repeatedly performed acts that his contemporaries, due to their cowardice, were not capable of. In 1961 he got his hands on the story "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich." Having become its first reviewer, Chukovsky, together with Tvardovsky, convinced him to publish this work. When Alexander Isaevich became persona non grata, it was Kornei who hid him from the authorities at his second dacha in Peredelkino.
In 1964, the trial began. Korney, along with - are one of the few who were not afraid to write a letter to the Central Committee with a request to release the poet. The writer's literary heritage has been preserved not only in books, but also in cartoons.
Personal life
Chukovsky met his first and only wife at the age of 18. Maria Borisovna was the daughter of the accountant Aron-Ber Ruvimovich Goldfeld and the housewife of Tuba (Tauba). The noble family never approved of Korney Ivanovich. At one time, the lovers even planned to escape from Odessa, hated by both, to the Caucasus. Despite the fact that the escape never took place, the couple got married in May 1903.
Many Odessa journalists came to the wedding with flowers. True, Chukovsky did not need bouquets, but money. After the ceremony, the resourceful guy took off his hat and began to walk around the guests. Immediately after the celebration, the newlyweds left for England. Unlike Korney, Maria stayed there for a couple of months. Upon learning that his wife was pregnant, the writer immediately sent her home.
On June 2, 1904, Chukovsky received a telegram stating that his wife had safely given birth to a son. On that day, the feuilletonist arranged a holiday for himself and went to the circus. Upon his return to St. Petersburg, the baggage of knowledge and life impressions accumulated in London allowed Chukovsky to very quickly become the leading critic of St. Petersburg. Sasha Cherny called him Korney Belinsky, not without malice. Just two years later, yesterday's provincial journalist was on a short leg with all the literary and artistic beau monde.
While the artist traveled around the country with lectures, his wife raised children: Lydia, Nikolai and Boris. In 1920, Chukovsky became a father again. Daughter Maria, whom everyone called Murochka, became the heroine of many of the writer's works. The girl died in 1931 from tuberculosis. After 10 years, the youngest son Boris died in the war, and 14 years later, the wife of the publicist, Maria Chukovskaya, was also gone.
Death
Korney Ivanovich passed away at the age of 87 (October 28, 1969). The cause of death is viral hepatitis. The dacha in Peredelkino, where the poet lived in recent years, was turned into a house-museum of Chukovsky.
Fans of the writer's creativity can still see with their own eyes the place where the eminent art worker created his masterpieces.

About Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky
Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky was born in 1882 in St. Petersburg. At birth, he was given a different name: Nikolai Vasilievich Korneichukov. The boy was illegitimate, for which life more than once put him in difficult situations. Father left the family when Nikolai was still very young, and he and his mother moved to Odessa. However, there he was awaited by failures: the future writer was expelled from the gymnasium, as he came “from the bottom”. Life in Odessa was not sweet for the whole family, children were often malnourished. Nikolai nevertheless showed strength of character and passed the exams, preparing for them on his own.
Chukovsky published his very first article in Odessa News, and already in 1903, two years after the first publication, the young writer went to London. He lived there for several years, working as a correspondent and studying English literature. After returning to his homeland, Chukovsky published his own magazine, wrote a book of memoirs, and by 1907 became famous in literary circles, though not as a writer yet, but as a critic. Korney Chukovsky spent a lot of energy on writing works about other authors, some of them are quite famous, namely, about Nekrasov, Blok, Akhmatova and Mayakovsky, about Dostoevsky, Chekhov and Sleptsov. These publications contributed to the literary fund, but did not bring fame to the author.
Chukovsky's poems. The beginning of the career of a children's poet
Nevertheless, Korney Ivanovich remained in memory as a children's writer, it was Chukovsky's children's poems that made his name in history for many years. The author began to write fairy tales rather late. The first fairy tale by Korney Chukovsky is Crocodile, was written in 1916. Moidodyr and Cockroach came out only in 1923.
Not many people know that Chukovsky was an excellent child psychologist, he knew how to feel and understand children, he described all his observations and knowledge in detail and cheerfully in a special book "From two to five", which was first published in 1933. In 1930, having experienced several personal tragedies, the writer began to devote most of his time to writing memoirs and translating the works of foreign authors.
In the 1960s, Chukovsky was fired up with the idea of presenting the Bible in a childish way. Other writers were also involved in the work, but the first edition of the book was completely destroyed by the authorities. Already in the 21st century, this book was published, and you can find it under the title "The Tower of Babel and Other Biblical Legends." The writer spent the last days of his life at his dacha in Peredelkino. There he met with children, read them his own poems and fairy tales, invited famous people.
