About the water is great and clean
This is one of the six poems creating the so -called. Lausanian lyrics, written in the years 1839-1840 and not published during the poet's lifetime, but very important in his writing achievements. Adam Mickiewicz's allegorical work is an attempt to assess the current life of the subject, Summary of experience, making their assessment primarily from a moral point of view.
The poem was inspired by the view of the Leman Mountain Lake, visible from the windows of the poet's apartment in Lausanne, And the water itself is a kind of word-clar, It is also like a leading motive. The subject builds a bit mysterious, overreal image of the landscape – Initially clearly marked by a stigma of sadness, depression:
About the water is great and clean
Opoki permanent rows,
And water is transparent
She bounced their faces black;
In the third verse, the silence of the mountains is interrupted by the flash, grom, But soon everything returns to the previous state. Nature remains unchanging, Nothing can interrupt its eternal duration, order:
And water, as it used to be pure,
It stands great and transparent.
The water as he stops, reflects reality, She remains indifferent to her – is just a mirror. A man cannot afford such a stillness, The lyrical subject of the poem opens such a perspective in front of it: Flow, swim. Movement from this poem is first transience. The natural and inevitable end of human journey is death, But the lyrical subject is still distant from it – A long way awaits him, years of activity, But traveling through life is accompanied by a difficult, bitter awareness of the inevitable end. Death is something natural in this poem, it is not the cause of the rebellion and the source of despair, reconcilement with fate appears as the only rational way to find a place in the world. At the same time, this reconciliation does not mean resignation, passivity, The human duty is the search, Striving for development, openness to changes. The song is considering final matters, He is kept in the tone of the elegant reflection on life.
The song in question is one of the last poems in the achievements of Adam Mickiewicz. Is distinguished by the construction championship, At the same time, a kind of simplicity of the language, giving up all poetic ornaments. This is an open text, Full of understatement, requiring a lot of effort from readers when attempting to read, interpretation. The poem consists of five four -handed stanzas and one double -eatery placed after the first three verses, It draws attention to the elaborate system of rhymes.
The poem by Czesław Miłosz Ciebłoka refers to this song Mickiewicz. Generally, Lausanian lyrics inspired poets of many generations, For example, Tadeusz Różewicz (volume of poems face third).
