The Enthusiasm of the young Ivan Turgenev

sculpture of the 'Medici Venus

At nineteen, Ivan Sergeevich, perhaps in the gardens of Peterhof, or the Academy of arts saw a copy of the perfect creations of unknown craftsmen – Venus Medici, a product. This work impressed him and inspired the enthusiastic writing of the poem. It was written in 1837 and published by P. A. Pletnev as "anonymous" in the fourth issue of the journal “Contemporary”. Turning to the Venus Medici, a product, Turgenev used a twelve exclamation points in eleven stanzas consisting of six lines. Romantically enthusiastic piece written dostepnym pentameter with ferriheme. In the first estetici three exclamation points emphasize the beauty of the goddess of another generation. In the second stanza the author says that such a captivating piece, one of the ardent sons of the South. The third stanza says that the people of the North can not understand their fervor and love, because the soul they withered.

The author believes that the careless Greeks knew in life three goals: the pursuit of glory, to die for the Fatherland, and to love. In the fourth and fifth verses describes the birth of Aphrodite is a gorgeous bright sky in waves of Cyprus. On a clear day in the water fell the marshmallows, and white foam was born and Beauty emerged from the waves. Wanting a kiss, to her bent over the vault of the sky, Zephyr caressed her reverently, to the feet clung to the deep waters. Aphrodite took Olympus and the Greeks put to her temples, calling it the soul of heaven and earth. Priestesses sang her hymns in temples and smoked incense. But everything went. Temples destroyed by the Persians, and have long Virgo don't sing hymns to Aphrodite. Under the chisel of Praxiteles once again there is a beauty that knows no decay and destruction. Like before, people can contemplate the divine attributes, keeping silent won their immortal beauty.

So ends the Turgenev poem, “To Venus Medici, a product" that shocked him to the core.
