The
Swan - symbol of beauty and innocence
in Kazakh poetry
Starting with the
traditions of chanting Asan Kaiga swans as a symbol of beauty found the
continuation in Kazakh poetry.
In each national literature there is an understanding ,
singularity of nature’s perception .
In Russian poetry among the natural
phenomena tree was praised many times. Along with the birch, spruce,
cranberry are national poetic images in Russian poetry.
And our people have a nomadic
way of life close to nature for our
people, who wandered along the rivers, lakes, close image-the image of birds swans. In the imafination of the nomads,
the swan is a holy bird. The Swan is a
beautiful bird, so beautiful girls compared with the swan, and those whom he
loves man calls"my swan." In
the literature, such comparisons are often found as innocent as a swan, sparkle
like a swan, perk like a swan, swan neck ,like a swan in the river, like a swan’s feather , lining up as a swan.
Like a favorite of water
- the beautiful swan,
golden moon gradually swims in the sky (K.Amanzholov)
Thoroughbreds impeccably clean,
like a swan,
It seemed to be presented only by true friend) (S.Seifullin)
The white hands of her,
Like a swan-neck (I.Zhansugirov)

Swan-traditional
poetic image of Kazakh poetry. Sacken many times sang the swan. For the first
time the poet sang the swan in the poem "In the Steppe." Born during
the repression, in this poetry can be traced longing for the homeland of the
poet, a mother, a beautiful lover. If the first part of the poem is called
"Dombra", the second part is called "The Swan." His sense
of melancholy poet passes through the image of a swan. Is not the poet conveys
the desire to see the joy coming forward through the image of a swan? Through
the image of a swan, which can be released from his burden, to instill in his
soul a sense of hope for the best. He sends his love and wishes to his country.
In this poetry can be traced
as a tradition in many verses, to transfer their feelings for their native land
by way of a bird. But why the author chooses is a swan, because a lot of other
birds flying over the desert.
The Swan is flying
Like a strong wind,
All around sang cheerfully
And the lake enveloped the swan...
Enveloped slowly,
Spreading a mirror its white breast [1, 71].
The poet passes
through the image of a swan, not only longing for his native land, homel He
conveys longing, affection to the beloved, which is located in those regions,
in a beautiful Sary-Arka.
Sacken swan sings a very
special way of love, friendship and beauty. In the poem "Bird Swan"
where the poet writes, "a child in love with you" we see his desire,
and in verse, and in the life of the beautiful, beautiful. The poet puts in a
great number of poletlebedya and tenderness in the movements of a beautiful
girl. This description is not the swan symbolizes tenderness movements, and is
given as a symbol of freedom of the girls. The poet in the poem describes the
flight of a swan "flies force of the wind." If Sacken gave an
estimate of this poetry in terms of its era, the swan, from ancient times a
symbol of beauty and natural splendor, tenderness, then the image would appear
in a different light.
A sense of beauty, natural
beauty is eternal category for the person of honesty and sincerity. All these
qualities are embodied in a poem S.Seifullin "Aққudyң
ayryluy." This poem recalls the legend of the great love, with confidence
rushing into the future. With a single goal. Develops the idea that passionate
love, keeping the promise, sincere
friendship is better than violence, unhappy life. The personality of the poet
as an artist is always with the people. It is in this poem, you can learn to
absorb the folklore and legends. This is true, correct pattern. In the poem
S.Seifullin image of a swan is recognized as a symbol of love. Having mastered this sense, the image
of the swan remained in our minds as a special mark of beauty. Holy birds convey not only the sincere feelings of love, but also an
artistic way we describe the notion that honesty and sincerity are the driving
force behind the preservation of the earth balance, honesty, human emotions. Saken
in his poetry belonged to the image of a swan as a messenger of love. In
drawing up the image of a swan given
by the poet of human feelings, its main feature through the
description of the feathered bird. The poet touched upon the human senses. Mukagali
is one of the poets, who realizing the power of the human soul, wrote about the
values to which few poets
pay attention. How wonderful monument to the image of swans, in poetry, which
complements the beauty of nature . He left as a legacy of the poem
"aққular ұқtaғanda." This poem is
intended to be a legacy that will be passed on from generation to generation.
Poem Makatayev "aққular ұқtaғanda" is a
monument to beauty. The image of the swan is represented here has many faces.
Located on a
mountain top, "like drops of rain on the rock" clear, shallow lake
dried away from loneliness. The name of the lake, "Zhetimkol."
Melancholy song about the lost moon of white swans, in fact, "it is hard
to believe that in the past, all it really was a" beautiful lake like a
sad disgusted blue mountains. Where
green shoots erupted. Clear Lake yearns for its swans, which transforms
the nature and the fact that the glittering rays of the sun, red and yellow
circle loses all its beauty in the absence of birds swan shows the sad state of
orphaned lake. Charming nature, whose beauty can behold, but did not express in
words, can not rejoice enthusiastically for one reason only, no ringing
swan wings early in the morning. Songs
of a swan. Poetry song poetry. Thus the poet dwells on thoughts that as a symbol of love, clean feeling, the
bird-song occupies a special place in the heart of a man, nature, without the
song the ground covers sadness, depression. If the lake
"Zhetimkol" becomes lonely ,
it is clear that all who mourn will get a feel for it. A true poet and artist
has a special talent with a few words to convey a lot of value. Mukagali was
able so skillfully use the figurative expression, as appropriate, beautiful
view, beautiful movement of a swan. On the question of why we believe as a swan
image of beauty in nature, try to give an answer from the peace of poetry by Mukagali. We have noted
the beauty, the beauty that the moon gives Swan Lake. As the poet sang of the
charm of a swan "as a symbol of beauty" The poet does not change the
place where you can sing the beauty of the swans. Location of Swan Lake is the
same, which Saken showed in all its glory. The time that the poet has chosen to
show the beauty of the swan in the lake, early morning. In the next poem the
poet says that one of the monders that
brings joy with an larly morning is the swan:
At high ridges scattered
sunlight
They were scattered on the
lake.
Bird - white, smooth surface - white, lake - white, white,
White beam is scattered on the
white rays.
Lake of the heavens and the heavens merge with the
lake,
And slowly awaken the
beautiful swans [2, 61].
To see the eyes and
sing their harmony in nature, is capable
only a poet with an open mind, but when the bird, lake, rays of white
covering the ground in the morning, it all turns into a whole. It should be
noted the sun's rays do not apply and emit light. This means that, like the
innocent laughter of a white angel, like beads scattered on the ground revealed
the establishment of an innocent world. White rays with particular trepidation
involved in all this.
Is not it becomes a joy in my
soul because such harmony is established on the ground in the early morning?
We love the swan. The image which we recognize as the owner of the holy
force, bringing with white light in the early morning.
As a poet was able to elevate
the image of Makataev swan to the desired level. For him, in nature there is
someone else's sound, he hears the sound of singing. For the poet, who was able
to revive the landscape, to embellish the lyrical use of psychological terms
the swan is not only a symbol of pure, tender love, a subject dear to respect.
When a loud clap your wings,
My soul trembled.
On your broken ways
I sacrificed my interrupted soul
Randomly lined with a smooth
surface of the lake,
Are beauties that can not
leave you, the steppe.
Why did not I born a swan
I am a man not fit) [3, 82].
Covers frustrated poet who
sees the death of the swans at the hands of people who saw the flight of their
flocks to the lake, in his soul remains
sorrow at the sight of a flock of swans, which migrate in times of peace
from their lakes in warmer sites. The poet's soul always strives for good,
Mukagali who knows how to talk, even with the autumn leaves rot recognizes the
strength in the form of a swan, which has to give people joy, hope, and forget
the petty difficulties of the transience of life. Reading these lines, we begin
to understand the desire of the poet, with a gentle soul by nature. These lines
trace the desire of the poet. Who wanted to watch the states of joy or
disappointment to fly as freely as a swan, waving its wings like a swan to
establish the sincerity of the earth.
From these lines we perceive as a source of strength Swan poet in a time
when he had a spiritual disillusionment. Life is valuable in a flash of joy,
sorrow, success as a wave. Describing not only the image of a swan and a sad
voice, a beautiful figure, the poet dreams of a world in no way tainted.
Apricots emit fragrance
Fragrant flowers emit a
fragrance
So I rush to you like a swan,
Tending to the mirror surface
of the lake [4, 83].
K.Ahmetova in his poetry describes a swan, not only as a messenger
sense, she wants to show the image of his carefree youth.
Identity of radiated like a
flower,
appeared in the Good season
and raised in the shadows.
How many holidays!
Steppe blooms when it come to the
Girls in red and green
dresses.
Radiate beauty, like a swan
On the mirror surface of the
lake,
Beauty – makes girls adults so
early [4, 31].
As time passes,
turning back to the early years, evaluating the past, a longing she saw a youth
in the form of a swan. His image in the summer, absorbed a clean, sincere love,
too, sees the image of a swan. Smiling every day, youth compares with a lake,
clear as a clear blue sky as the highest mountain, the master of dreams and the
center of everything good. Figurative
beautiful words in poetry, in the lines of the poem does not arise from a
simple desire to speak beautifully, and the aesthetic sense of the image,
creative thinking in the knowledge of the world as a poet-painter. What gives
the verse, each image in works written in verse, every word of poetic
beginning, all this deep sense of awareness and creative thinking of the poet.
To understand the words in lines of poetry should feel good
thoughts of the poet, particularly creative thinking, especially the perception
of the world in terms of aesthetics. The word poetry is also value the poem,
verse, has a value of beauty.
Poetry arises out of a deep affection. Poetry means the
experience of the heart beat.
Therefore, K. Akhmetov in his poetry describes a way of
associating with a particular swan moment in the life of man, the image of a
swan is shown as a messenger of pure love in his younger years. One of the
poets who made their contribution to the reflection characteristics of the image
a miracle of nature in poetry Mukagali is K.Salykov. Although the number of his
poetry are few, the significance and meaning is respectable, an extensive scale
as our Steppe, desire high as a mountain. Among the lyrics is not enough
Salykov poetries written in a spirit of mutual understanding. In this regard,
there is one reason why the word love replaced by understanding. It is felt
that that, there are no familiar words "love", "burning with
love" is often found in the works of many poets.
The author, who approaches the
topic of love for another, in order to transfer their feelings for the beloved,
can not pass bird party swan. and this is understandable. Although the author
does not provide a high level of aesthetic knowledge to its readers in the transfer
of the holy image of a bird, which views people have always been associated as
a sign of great sense, yet the author has to say. The harmony of the relations
of nature and humanity in unity. Alignment of man to environment, life develops
in connection with this medium. In this respect, the author has developed a
reasonable idea. The poet feels the beauty of the soul, saddened by the fact
that the swan in nature is sacrificed.
So talking about the swan with
a desire to convey their feelings.
The Swan - white queen
I will tell you my secret.
I will sing your way in the
song,
Like the image of white-faced
girl in love.
You - the healer of the heart,
Send your wings to me.
Approached me, console your
friend,
Embracing with your white fluffy wings) [5, 17].
Feelings for the
beloved author passes through the image of a swan. The desire of mankind since
the birth of beauty, the desire to
press to the heart this beauty, and the
fact that all this it is possible to explain that the external beauty, beauty
in the movements of their own age like a swan. Salykov differs
that beautiful image of a swan around looking at people with a sensitive
soul. The poet is not limited by the fact that only looks of delicate girls. He
devotes his warriors with gentle verses and makes it clear that he wants to be
with the same white girls like a swan.
So the poet sees
the flower of life when the swan opens
wings, heart filled with joy, he can
not look away from the beauty of a swan and its lines of writing about it.
Swan did not leave me,
I listened to her mysteries.
I suffered from the fact
that I missed my eyes,
To see this beauty) [6, 11].
We can not help but
notice that in verse in Salykov’s description given in the form of a swan as a
beautiful girl. There is no connection with the cosmogonic concepts.
The poet in the ordinary purpose of placing poetry sings
about everyday routine of life,
revealing the image encourages his readers to seek their ideal beside him, and
not in distant foreign lands. Therefore, we consider legitimate for a poet to
write.
the same dawn will come again
Which will make me forget my
pain.
If only one eye look
The beauty of wite faced
beauty girl
There is a gentle song,
There is exciting sweet voice.
From the memory is still not out
That is the swan, I never met) [5, 74].
Makataev showed the
image of a swan as a strong image. The poet seeks to emphasize the power of the
holy swan than to praise the natural beauty of this dazzling birds. None of the
poets as Mukagali in the art style could not bring to consciousness the reader
that at the heart of the holy forces are the qualities that affect the
preservation of the prohibitions in national understandings.
Kulashi Akhmetova , who gladly
and wholeheartedly praised the holy swan in his poetry, although she was unable
to turn the holy swan of quality foundation of her poems, yet she managed as a woman, a mother and a poet to convey
such a thing as an old saint. This feature of the image of a swan, the transfer
of the poet of his feelings with the image of a swan, showing itself in the way
of a gentle, defenseless swan. Although the author does not try to indulge in
life, philosophical experiences, managed to sweat through this gentle bird to
convey feelings of women. She was able
to show swan’s
image, which sang the famous poets, the conclusion of another
world. Showed in the poetic form to take sensitive soul with a gentle soul.
