The poem is addressed to Anna Petrovna Kern, an attractive young woman whom the twenty-year-old poet first saw at a ball in St. Petersburg in the Olenins' house in 1819. It was a fleeting meeting, and Pushkin compared it to the vision of a divine beauty from Zhukovsky's beautiful work Lalla Ruk.
When analyzing "I remember a wonderful moment ...", one should pay attention to the fact that the language of this work is unusual. It has been stripped of all specifics. You can see five words repeated twice - deity, inspiration, tears, life, love. Such an exchange " forms a semantic complex related to the field of artistic creativity.
The time when the poet was in southern exile (1823-1824), and then in Mikhailovskoye ("in the wilderness, in the darkness of imprisonment"), was critical and difficult for him. But by the beginning of 1825, Alexander Sergeevich coped with himself, with his gloomy thoughts, and "an awakening came in the soul." During this period, he saw A.P. Kern for the second time, who came to visit Praskovya Alexandrovna Osipova, who lives next door to Pushkin, in Trigorskoye.
The poem begins with a review of the events of the past, the time spent
"In the languor of hopeless sadness,
In the anxieties of noisy fuss ... "
But the years passed, and the period of exile began.
"In the wilderness, in the darkness of confinement,
My days passed quietly
Without a god, without inspiration,
No tears, no life, no love."
The depression did not last long. And Alexander Sergeevich comes to a new meeting with a feeling of the joy of life.
"The soul has awakened
And here you are again
Like a fleeting vision
Like a genius of pure beauty."
What served that driving force, with the help of which the life of the poet regained its bright colors? This is creativity. From the poem "I visited again ..." (in a different edition) you can read:
"But here I am with a mysterious shield
Holy Providence dawned
Poetry as a comforting angel
She saved me, and I was resurrected in soul "
Concerning themes of the poem "I remember a wonderful moment ...", then, according to a number of literary experts, the love theme is subordinate to another, philosophical and psychological theme. Observation of "different states inner peace poet in the relationship of this world with reality” – that is the main thing we are talking about.
But no one canceled love. It is represented in the poem on a large scale. It was love that gave Pushkin much-needed strength and adorned his life. But the source of the awakening of the author still served as poetry.
Poetic size works - iambic. Pentameter, with cross rhyme. Compositionally, the poem "I remember a wonderful moment" is divided into three parts. Two stanzas each. The work is written in a major key. It clearly sounds the motive of awakening to a new life.

TO***
I remember a wonderful moment:
You appeared before me
Like a fleeting vision
Like a genius of pure beauty.
In the languor of hopeless sadness,
In the anxieties of noisy bustle,
A gentle voice sounded to me for a long time,
And dreamed of cute features.
Years passed. Storms gust rebellious
Scattered old dreams
And I forgot your gentle voice
Your heavenly features.
In the wilderness, in the darkness of confinement
My days passed quietly
Without a god, without inspiration,
No tears, no life, no love.
The soul has awakened:
And here you are again
Like a fleeting vision
Like a genius of pure beauty.
And the heart beats in rapture
And for him they rose again
And the deity and inspiration,
And life, and tears, and love.
“I remember a wonderful moment” is one of the most important works in the lyrics of A.S. Pushkin. Today they learn about this poem from school desks, because it has not lost its popularity. The poem is a frank confession of the poet's unbridled feelings for Anna Kern, who was famous person Petersburg and was known as an extraordinary beauty. The poet wrote this masterpiece in July 1825, and it was published by a friend of Pushkin A.A. Delvig only in 1827 in the collection "Northern Flowers".
Love and passion are the main themes that the author deals with in his works. Many works of the poet have been devoted to this subject. In this poem, Pushkin describes his attitude towards the young beauty, whom he saw at a secular reception in 1819 at the Olenins. Since then, there was no peace in Pushkin's heart, it burned with passion for many years. The southern exile violated the opportunity to see his beloved, which the poet recalls in the work. But returning to the village of Mikhailovskoye, he again sees Anna Kern in the nearby Trigorskoye estate at a reception. Feelings flared up with new force. Unfortunately, relations between young people did not work out, because Anna considered Pushkin only as a promising poet. Pushkin even proposed to her after she divorced her first husband, but was refused.
The main theme of the poem
From the first lines of the poem, it becomes clear that it is overflowing with bright, pure, sincere feelings of love for a woman. it main topic works. There are no portrait characteristics of Pushkin's object of adoration here. He gives short description to his beloved: "a genius of pure beauty." The poem is composed of three parts, each of which describes a different period of time with a certain mood.
In the first part, the poet mentions the feelings that he experienced when he met his beloved: “a wonderful moment”, “a fleeting vision”. The use of gentle epithets allows the reader to feel the feelings of the author. The second part of the verse speaks of the dull period of exile and imprisonment of the poet, in which he could not feel anything, forgetting about the sweet features of his beloved woman. But in the third part, feelings are resurrected with renewed vigor, the poet's soul comes to life again. He can experience the same sensations as before: "both life, and tears, and love." Back to the author mental strength because love is the most important thing in his life.
“I remember a wonderful moment” can rightfully be called an ode to love for a woman whose beauty is comparable to a genius, that is, a spirit, a model, a standard. Love is described here, which neither years of separation, nor bondage, nor mental torment could appease.
Structural analysis of the poem
The artistic means used by the author are the use of epithets. The poem contains a single metaphor, which confuses critics, because this did not affect the emotional richness of the poem and its lyricism. The poet uses some more comparisons: "the genius of pure beauty", "a fleeting vision".
The composition of the poem divides it into three parts. They differ in emotional richness. The mention of the first line at the beginning and at the end of the poem is called a ring composition. The chosen genre of the work is a form of a message, a confession of feelings. The poem can be called autobiographical, it clearly highlights the periods of Pushkin's life: his stay in St. Petersburg, the Southern exile, his stay in the Mikhailovskoye family estate. In the text, the author intertwines tender feelings with philosophical thoughts.
The verse is written in iambic pentameter. Cross rhyming is used - with alternating male and female rhymes. Each stanza has a clear meaning and completeness of thought. Due to the melody and ease of perception, the poem has been reproduced more than once as a romance. The most famous romance is a piece of music by M.I. Glinka.
This poem is considered a masterpiece in poetry. It reveals the sincere feelings of the poet, which makes it possible for future generations to learn about sensuality, tenderness, the meaning of life, which lies in love. On the example of a poem, you can understand what it means to truly love.
The poem "", dedicated to A.P. Kern, is a magnificent example of Russian love lyrics. The theme of love literally permeates the entire work.
The creation of such an amazingly beautiful work of Pushkin was prompted by an acquaintance with the hero’s wife Patriotic War 1812 by Anna Petrovna Kern. A fleeting acquaintance, which took place in St. Petersburg in 1819, left an indelible impression on the soul of the poet.
We know that the poet's stay in St. Petersburg was short-lived. Disgrace and exile soon followed, first to the Caucasus, and then to Mikhailovskoye. New impressions, meetings, somewhat erased the image of a nice woman from my memory.
A new meeting took place 6 years later, when Pushkin was already living in Mikhailovsky, and Anna Petrovna came to the village of Trigorskoye to visit her aunt Praskovya Osipova. Pushkin was a frequent visitor to the estate of Praskovya Alexandrovna, who was a true admirer of his talent.
When Anna Kern was about to leave for her husband in Riga, where he was appointed to the post of commandant of the fortress, Pushkin presented her with an autograph of a lyrical masterpiece. It should be noted that the meeting in Trigorsky shook Pushkin, Anna Petrovna became the poet's muse, inspiring him to new creations.
For the first time this lyrical work was published by Delvig in his journal "Northern Flowers". In the summer of 1827 Pushkin came to St. Petersburg. Perhaps it was then that he gave Delvig a poem for publication.
Analyzing the poem, we see that it is written in the genre of a lyrical message. Consists of six stanzas. In terms of composition, the poem consists of three parts. Each pair of stanzas represents a certain segment of the author's life.
- Acquaintance and love
- Parting
- New meeting.
The phrases "a wonderful moment" and "a fleeting vision" paint an ephemeral picture: the image of a woman, flashed in a crowd among men and women. Perhaps she was talking to someone, or laughing. Most likely, her laughter was remembered by the poet after this meeting. The woman flashed, and the poet did not even have time to find out who she was. Only sounded in the memory "a gentle voice and dreamed of cute features."
The second part sounds like a contrast, reflecting the state of mind of the poet:
In the wilderness, in the darkness of confinement
My days passed quietly
Without a god, without inspiration,
No tears, no life, no love.
And how surprised he was when, having arrived in the village of Trigorskoye to the Osipovs, where he was a frequent visitor, he saw his "fleeting vision." But this time she didn't disappear. For several days they had the opportunity to talk, he admired her gentle voice, bowed before her beauty, education and intelligence. And even managed to present an autograph - a poem dedicated to the genius of "pure beauty". It is no coincidence that the phrases "a fleeting vision" and "a genius of pure beauty" are repeated. With these words, the poet emphasizes the impression that Anna Petrovna made on him. There are few epithets in the poem, but they are very weighty and figurative: gentle, fleeting, sweet, heavenly.
Each stanza has 4 lines. Rhyme cross. The masculine rhyme is combined with the feminine. It is interesting that in the first and third lines the rhymes are different, and the second and fourth are the same everywhere - you. As if with this rhyme, Pushkin wants to emphasize his closeness to her. It is a little surprising that Pushkin refers to Anna Petrovna as you, which was not accepted in secular society. Moreover, Pushkin clearly emphasizes such an appeal with a shock, strong rhyme in every even line. This may indicate a huge degree of spiritual closeness and mutual understanding.
The size of the verse - iambic pentameter makes this melodious and light.
The poem is not overloaded artistic means and lexical figures, written in a light and sonorous language. It is not surprising, therefore, that this work was soon set to music and became one of the most remarkable and beloved romances. It is noteworthy that the composer Mikhail Glinka, who created the romance, dedicated it to Anna Petrovna's daughter, Catherine, whom he loved.
The poem “I remember a wonderful moment” is still interesting to readers now, 200 years later, and serves as an unsurpassed example of Russian love lyrics.
"I remember a wonderful moment..."- one of the most remarkable poems of Pushkin. It was written between July 16 and 19, 1825, and is dedicated to the beauty of St. Petersburg, Anna Kern. For the first time, the poet saw his future beloved in 1819 at a gala reception. Pushkin immediately inflamed with passion for a beautiful woman. But Anna was married. The poet, according to the laws of secular society, was not allowed to express his tender feelings for a married lady. Therefore, Anna Kern remained in the memory of Alexander Pushkin "genius of pure beauty", "a fleeting vision".
In 1825 they met again at the Trigorskoye estate. At that time, the poet was serving a link in the neighboring village of Mikhailovskoye. Anna had already divorced, and nothing prevented Pushkin from confessing his love. But Alexander Sergeevich was interested in Anna Kern only as a young poet, covered with glory. There were rumors in the district about Anna's constant novels, which Pushkin also became aware of. An unpleasant explanation took place between the young people, which put an end to their relationship. But Pushkin nevertheless dedicated several poems to Anna Kern, among which “I remember a wonderful moment ...” occupies a special place. In 1827, it was published by Delvig in the almanac "Northern Flowers".
In a short poem, Pushkin managed to reveal the whole story of his acquaintance with Anna Kern and the feelings that he had for a woman who captivated his imagination for many years.
Composition the works can be conditionally divided into three fragments, which differ in meaning and in the mood of the lyrical hero. In the first part, we are talking about how memories of a meeting with a beautiful creature live in the heart of the poet. Then Pushkin describes the dark days in captivity that pass without inspiration, without a deity. And in the third part of the poem, the soul of the lyrical hero regains happiness, is ready to love and create. The semantic repetition and line call at the beginning and end of the work give grounds to consider the composition circular.
Genre poems "I remember a wonderful moment ..." - a love message. But it also contains serious philosophical reflections. In addition, a part of the poet's biography can be traced in the work. One can clearly trace its stages: the first and second stanzas are Petersburg; the third is the southern link; the fourth and fifth are exile to Mikhailovskoye.
Pushkin admits that after the first meeting, in his imagination, the gentle voice of his beloved sounded for a long time and dreamed "cute features". But youthful dreams are in the past. During the separation, the poet became famous, although he did not lose his former sharpness of feelings. The link to Mikhailovskoye was the last straw that overflowed the cup of despondency. The poet lost the company of friends and relatives, the opportunity to shine with his talent in the world. The second meeting with an almost forgotten lover revived feelings, after a long spiritual crisis, inspiration again appeared.
By the power of Pushkin's great talent, this love story ceases to be a plot on a local scale. The reader gets the impression that the poem "I remember a wonderful moment ..." is an appeal to all lovers. The heroine in the image of Anna Kern rises to a poetic ideal.
For a detailed description of the state of mind of the hero, the author successfully uses epithets: "celestial features", "hopeless sadness", "wonderful moment". But in general, the work strikes literary critics with a small set of means of expression. It has only one metaphor – "The rebellious storm dispelled former dreams", and two more comparisons – "like a fleeting vision, like a genius of pure beauty".
A poem is written iambic pentameter with cross rhyming - ABAB. Each stanza contains a complete thought. The rhythm of the verse is very clear and musical. This is facilitated by through rhymes (vision - imprisonment - inspiration - awakening) and alliteration to the consonants "m", "l", "n". The undulating alternation of iambic feet enhances the melodic sounding of the lines.
It is not surprising that such a musical poem has been set to music more than twenty times. The most famous was the romance, created in 1840 by the famous composer Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka. So the brilliant work got a no less magnificent frame. Interestingly, Glinka wrote his romance under the impression of meeting Anna Kern's daughter, Catherine.
