I Love You – Pushkin
“I Loved You” – Pushkin One of the most favorite subjects of Pushkin was love. “Love and friendship are popular subjects of the authors, and the reason that makes him happy and sad. The color of his poems, especially in love poem, is the beauty of humanity”, said Belinxki. One of the most famous poems of Pushkin is I Loved You. When he lived in Petersburg, Pushkin usually met people in love with art in the President of the academy of art’s house, and the most important reason was to meet daughter of the owner named A. A. Olenhia.
In 1828, in summer, Pushkin proposed her, but she didn’t accept. In 1829, he composed a poem about this love. The poem can be divided into three sections such as showing his love, confirming his real love, and blessing for the girl that he loved. Love poems of Pushkin were from his real emotions and his own experiences. Therefore, he could show us the real emotions of human souls. “I Loved You” poem made a huge emotion because it showed spiritual values of human: the real love in each simple word. The chorus “I Loved You” is the main tone of the poem.
In the beginning of the poem is the chorus “I loved you” that showed his real love from his faithful love. “I loved you” is just simple words, but they have important meaning and secret that he could talk in his poem. In the first four sentences, he confirmed that he was still in love with Olenhia. However, he wanted to step back because he didn’t want to annoy Olenhia. In the last four sentences, he showed the different levels of love, and he confirmed his faithful love for Olenhia: “I loved you; and perhaps I love you still, The flame, perhaps, is not extinguished; yet”
The words slowly, love poems deep, discreet. An assertion together with a little consideration phase, cautious with the words “perhaps”, “not extinguished; yet”. Another version came with the words “may” and “fire retain;” Using a negative term nature, “is not extinguished; yet,” the lyrical character expressed a love, a passion for bringing the look of quiet, persistent, lasting sign of emotion, of a faithful heart, not the spontaneous passion flashed and faded right there. And right after that, poetry sudden switch circuit: “It burns so quietly within my soul,
No longer should you feel distressed by it. ” The third sentence shows the calmness of reason, the pent-up emotions. The phrase “no longer” definitive emphasized: need to put out the fire of love, avoid for the girl to bother. Poetic as a word remind thought, a self-consciousness of his love and inner speech as well as a full tender, respectful with the girl’s soul. But behind the words calmly, properly was how feeling, how the nuances of love: the bitterness of destiny because if love does not bring happiness, joy that is so disturbed, sadness for the one you love, love should end.
Love can stop for many reasons, but reason with full of gentle, respectful and noble like that, not all women can have it. If the first four verses, emotions tend to be repressed, was the dominant reason, in two verses later, the outpouring of emotion circuits, does not comply with the dictates of reason, confirmed a strong love not conceal and the chorus “I loved you” is repeated a second time: “Silently and hopelessly I loved you, At times too jealous and at times too shy. Breathing faster with the word “at times” was repeated two times, describes the state change love deeply, overwhelmed. Characters reveal frank lyrical soul: a love “Silently “, “hopelessly”, has reaffirmed silent strokes, just strong people do not expect, likely bold new ethos this situation unilaterally. But even so, their love still occurs with all shades of eternity: silent suffering, joy, despair, timidity, jealousy tormented.
Two verses nature confessed to uncover the layers of emotional complexity that is the bottom of the deep human soul, after the crust of words calmly, calmly expressed through a vocative, looks quietly withdrew shy, through the sense of trying to suppress emotional compression, let’s say that your love not back off rather than being intense burning. The last two sentences also answers, flashed light up a humane values?? , a noble pose for the lovely man: “God grant you find another who will love you
As tenderly and truthfully as I. ” The feeling which is cumulated is released and spurted out. The phrase “love you” is repeated the third time with an affirmation of the nature of this relationship sincere, fervid. In Russian the verb “ love” always be unfinished tense; that means the flame in the author’s heart will be never off will be never fade. Sincere, fervid never fade was the root of this lofty love. That explains why lyrical character had gentle manners, delicacy, cherish the one you love.

And in the end of the poem, the lyrical character had a holy blessing, forgiveness. The unrequited love which is always sadness, leads people become selfish, hatred. However, if that love comes from an honest, generous, kindness heart, even though being rejected, people are still able to have a magnanimous behavior. The poem describes a hopeless love, soak a sad tone, but above all is the strong and noble human heart with a love not bear fruit.
Poetic language simple, clear, no rhetorical measures beyond language message “I love you ‘. The poetry of the poem exudes from the sincere emotion, pinned compressed, simple words but full of earnest, delicate but strong, loving noble as Belinxki once said: “Characteristics of poetry Pushkin is the ability to detect cases of human aesthetic sense and kindness, sense is infinite respect for human dignity as the son of man. ”
