Analysis of the first stanza The first stanza sounds like a passionately tense recognition by the poet of the uneasiness of his double existence, to overcome, which he is not given. In the threefold exclamation "O" Tyutchev put the growing sense of his anxiety, the surf of which is especially intensified towards the end of the stanza. The increase in this anxiety is conveyed both by the verb “you beat”, and by the expression “as it were”, and by the exclamatory intonation in the last line. The ellipsis at the end of the stanza leaves us room for thought. Beyond the threshold of earthly life, Tyutchev has a different threshold, and it’s impossible for a poet to cross it. Oh, my prophetic soul! Oh, a heart full of anxiety, Oh, how you beat on the threshold of As if double existence! ..

Analysis of the second stanza So, you are a dweller of two worlds, Your day is painful and passionate, Your dream is prophetically unclear, Like a revelation of spirits ... In the second stanza, the motive of a double world, characteristic of romanticism, arises. In addition, the antithesis (day - sleep) is used, which is often found in Tyutchev's work. The poet reveals the nature of the soul and heart. It introduces the reader to the irrational (transcendental) world. Here the motive of a double world arises. Day, "painful and passionate", that is, earthly, real life, the poet opposes the night, sleep "prophetically vague", that is, the life of the soul. The poet's man lives in both of these spheres. And if in the first stanza this assumption was conditional (this is emphasized by the expression "as it were"), then in the second stanza we see an unconditional statement of the involvement of being in two worlds:

The poem "Oh, my prophetic soul."

Perception, interpretation, evaluation

The poem "Oh, my prophetic soul" was created by F. I. Tyutchev in 1855. In 1857 it was published in the journal Russian Conversation.

The poem belongs to philosophical lyrics, its genre is lyrical meditation with elements of philosophical reflection. In this poem, Tyutchev reveals his attitude to the romantic poet, opposing the material life and the life of the soul.

And this image of "double being" appears already in the first stanza. The poet addresses his soul and heart here:

Oh, my prophetic soul!

Oh heart full of anxiety

Oh, how you fight on the threshold of a kind of double existence.

This "double being" also denotes the duality of human nature, two principles in man, which, according to the poet, are opposed to each other.

The second stanza is about the soul. It is built on the principle of antithesis. The day of the soul, "painful and passionate," is contrasted with its night "with a prophetically vague dream." Here we are talking about material life and the life of the subconscious, the impulses of the soul.

There is also an antithesis in the third stanza. The "fatal passions" are contrasted here with eternity:

Let the suffering chest excite fatal passions -

The soul is ready like Mary

To cling to the feet of Christ forever.

In the finale, the poet again speaks of the soul. Thus, we have a ring composition here.

The poem is written with iambic tetrameter, quatrains. The poet uses various tropes: an epithet ("prophetic soul", "a painful and passionate day"), comparison and metaphor ("The soul is ready, like Mary, to cling to Christ's feet forever"), syntactic parallelism ("Your day is painful and passionate , Your dream is prophetically unclear ”).

Thus, the main theme of the poem is the latent course of life, the duality of everything on earth.

Analysis of Tyutchev's poem "O my prophetic soul!"

The poem "Oh, my prophetic soul!", Dated 1855, is usually attributed to philosophical lyrics. According to literary scholars, this work clearly shows the duality of the poet's worldview. In the first stanza, Tyutchev contrasts the soul, as something heavenly, divine, and the heart, as the embodiment of the earthly. Fedor Ivanovich recognizes the anxiety of the polarity of human existence and the impossibility of getting rid of this duality. From line to line, anxiety grows more and more. She found her reflection in the threefold repetition of the exclamation "O", the verb "beat", used in relation to the heart.

In the second stanza, the motive of the double world, characteristic of romanticism, arises. In addition, an antithesis is used, which is often found in Tyutchev's work. It is about opposing two times of the day. In the poem "Oh, my prophetic soul!" the poet calls the day painful and passionate, the night - prophetically unclear. Man is forced to live in both worlds. For creative people, the night is much preferable, because, according to Tyutchev, it promises some prophetic revelations.

The third stanza is an attempt to try on two principles (earthly and divine). In the poem, it fails. Fatal passions excite the heart. The soul intends to ascend to heaven, rejecting everything base, too human. Here the image of Mary Magdalene appears, a repentant sinner, ready to cling to Christ's feet forever. Compositionally, Fyodor Ivanovich loops the poem. The divine soul of nature is first noted with the epithet “prophetic”. She was also mentioned in the final. Just through the images of Christ and the Magdalene.

Analysis of the poem "O prophetic soul of mine" (1855)

Tyutchev's poetry belongs to the philosophical
poems to the lyrics. She inspires thoughts about eternity, about demons
death, about space ... public life -
this is Crimean War, in personal life - love-suffering for De-
nisyevoy (the most passionate and fatal).
The poem speaks of the dual nature of the human
being - earthly and heavenly. Soul (celestial nature) receives
a sign of the Highest Reality, and the heart (earthly nature) is a sign
instantaneousness, soreness, fragility. But this does not mean they are not-
fusion. The main idea of ​​Tyutchev's poem is harmony
soul and heart (spiritual and physical).
Composition of the poem.
The poem consists of three quatrains, written in
syllabo-tonic system with iambic tetrameter.
O prophetic soul of mine,
O heart full of anxiety.
Oh how you thrash on the doorstep
As if double existence! ...
In the first two lines, the poet refers simultaneously to two
sides of human life, combining them in 3 and 4 lines in motion
"You beat." Tyutchev uses the pronoun "you", in which
also unites soul and heart in "double being". Yu Lotman,
exploring the poetry of Tyutchev, proves that the poet uses pronouns
(this technique is called metonymy) in order to strengthen
the personal nature of the experience. The quatrain ends
exclamation mark with ellipses, which enhances the emotional
impact and leaves room for thought.
In the second quatrain, the poet reveals the nature of the soul and heart.
He introduces the reader into the irrational (transcendental) world, using
reception of the antithesis (day - sleep). Day is the life of the heart, earthly life,
full of suffering and disease.
So, you are a dweller of two worlds.
Your day is painful and passionate
Your dream is prophetically unclear
As the revelation of spirits.
2 stanza ends in the same way as the first - with ellipses,
inviting the reader to reflect on the true nature of the soul.
3 stanza - the final, in it the poet unites two sides
human being in harmony. The earthly and the heavenly live in man
according to their own laws.
Let the suffering chest
Fatal passions excite -
The soul is ready like Mary
To cling to the feet of Christ forever.
In the last two lines, Tyutchev switches to an allegorical
the language where the soul of Mary (Magdalene), the soul of a sinner, is forever bound
with the soul of Christ - the spiritual, Divine peace. Soul,
imprisoned in a sinful body, as in a dungeon, can always find
your heavenly nature.
So, let's conclude:
1st quatrain - definition of human duality
being.
2nd - the disclosure of the nature of this duality.
3rd-harmony of soul and body.
Artistic features:
1. The method of metonymy is used. "Prophetic soul" - the heavenly world,
"Heart full of anxiety" - earthly world, "painful day
and passionate "- earthly life, full of suffering," sleep - prophetic
unclear ”- spiritual life as the highest reality.
2. Reception of the antithesis: soul - heart; day - sleep
painful and passionate - unclear prophetically.
3. Comparisons: as if double being; as the revelation of spirits;
like Mary.
4. Size - iambic tetrameter.
This poem contains two facets of the earthly and the heavenly
and therefore flashes with different light reflections: sometimes dark,
sometimes light, sometimes bright, sometimes indistinct.

The poem "O my prophetic soul ..." was written by F.I. Tyutchev in 1855. It was first published in the journal "Russian conversation" in 1857. The work belongs to philosophical lyrics, its genre is a lyrical fragment, and its style is romantic.
As the researchers note, this poem clearly reflects the polarity, duality of Tyutchev's worldview. The poet here affirms the dual nature of human existence - earthly and heavenly. The soul is the divine principle in a person. The heart is its earthly, material nature. In the first stanza, the poet seems to combine these two principles, using the pronoun "you":

Oh, my prophetic soul!
Oh heart full of anxiety
Oh how you thrash on the doorstep
As if double existence! ..

As Y.O. Zundelovich, “the first stanza sounds like a passionately intense recognition by the poet of the anxiety of his double existence, to overcome, which he is not given to let go. In the threefold exclamation "O" he put a growing feeling of his anxiety, the surf of which is especially intensified towards the end of the stanza. " The increase in this anxiety is conveyed both by the verb “you beat”, and by the expression “as it were”, and by the exclamatory intonation in the last line. The ellipsis at the end of the stanza leaves us room for thought. Beyond the threshold of earthly life, Tyutchev has a different threshold, and it’s impossible for a poet to cross it.
The second stanza is built on the principle of antithesis. Here the motive of a double world arises. Day, "painful and passionate", that is, earthly, real life, the poet opposes the night, sleep "prophetically vague", that is, the life of the soul. The poet's man lives in both of these spheres. And if in the first stanza this assumption was conditional (this is emphasized by the expression "as it were"), then in the second stanza we see an unconditional statement of the involvement of being in two worlds:

So, you are a dweller of two worlds,
Your day is painful and passionate
Your dream is prophetically unclear
As the revelation of spirits ...

Researchers also note the uniqueness in the characteristics of day and night in this work. “This is not just a day of 'earthly excitement', it is full of soreness and passion; on the other hand, the night (sleep) here is not an "outcrop" of the abyss, but the moment of some prophetic premonitions. Tyutchev contrasts here day and night according to the degree of their emotional saturation, according to the definiteness of those experiences ... that they carry to the poet's soul-heart: a brilliant day leads to a painful and passionate living out of life, and a night-dream reveals some prophetic revelations for him. The night here opens before the poet not a frightening abyss, but ... gives him an exit from the world of dazzling passions into a soothing twilight. "
In the third stanza, the poet seemingly tries to unite two principles of human nature - earthly and divine, to merge them together:

Let the suffering chest
Fatal passions excite -
The soul is ready like Mary
To cling to the feet of Christ forever.

However, is Tyutchev's relationship between the earthly and the heavenly really so harmonious? More likely no than yes. The poet's spiritual and earthly impulses are multidirectional: "the suffering breast is agitated by fatal passions," but the soul is ready to renounce these passions, striving towards the heavenly ideal, towards dispassion. This multi-vector nature of human existence is emphasized by the poet's subordinate clause ("Let the suffering breast Excite the fatal passions ...").
Compositionally, the work is divided into three parts (strutfno). In the first stanza, the two principles of human nature are united. In the second and third stanzas, they are contrasted. The poem begins and ends with the theme of the soul, its divine nature is emphasized at the beginning of the poem by the word "prophetic", at the end - by the readiness "To cling to the feet of Christ forever." In this regard, we can talk about a ring composition.
The poem is written with iambic tetrameter, quatrains, rhyme - circular.
The poet uses various means artistic expression: epithets ("prophetic soul", your dream is prophetically vague "), comparisons (" The soul is ready, like Mary, To clung to the feet of Christ forever "), metaphor (" Oh, my prophetic soul! Oh, heart full of anxiety, Oh, how you fight on the threshold of a kind of double existence "), anaphora and syntactic parallelism (" Your day is painful and passionate, your dream is prophetically unclear "), a rhetorical exclamation (" Oh, how you fight on the threshold of a kind of double being! ... ").
The poem "Oh, my prophetic soul ..." is a programmatic one in Tyutchev's work. “Not nature, not elements, not chaos, not wind, not day, not light, not darkness, not sleep, not night ... -“ soul ”, this is the word that permeates all of Tyutchev's poetry, his main word. There is no other poet who has been hypnotized by her with such passion, so focused on her. This is Tyutchev's main interest, main affection. Isn't this, almost against his will, made Tyutchev's poetry immortal? "
