The symbol - is one
of the main conditions for the perception of the poet world view associated with the singularity of
artistic analysis. Without a sense a
lyric poem does not arise. Sincere poetry is the result of thoughts and
feelings. Sometimes a character comes to the aid of the poet to convey the
subtleties of feeling, becomes a way to transfer the soul of the poet. The
symbol is mainly peculiar to poets thinking metaphorically. The internal state
of the poet (or lyrical) can convey a word or action. Thus, the internal state
of the human soul is transmitted through the characters. As a particle of a huge
fictional world, the symbol is found in the literature of all peoples. For
example, the swan symbolizes the sincere love, honesty and beauty: a raven-insincerity,
bread-salt- hospitality, friendship,
generosity: the eagle, a symbol of strength, agility, courage, cranberry-symbol
of a beautiful girl, the lotus-sky, the lion-courage, a flower-tenderness and
devotion. The role of the characters is the transmission of thought implicitly,
the idea needed to bring to transfer by
comparison with other objects, events, allusions.
In comparison with the exact
way, the character value is much wider. By imaging the symbol means deeper
meaning, destiny, life's mysteries. Lyric poem uncovers feelings of the poet,
describes the life in its own way. Esenin often said that true poetry was not
only a representation of life, it also means
life in poetry. In 1918, addressing Block, he says: "Poetry like a
nature must be sincere," "The word is not the subject well-known in nature. Or it is not a tree,
which grows, it is a different, very special nature. "
When the Soviet Union at the request of socialist realism,
fiction served as a political ideology. The psychology of talent has been
suspended, the literature has lost the quality of studying human factors. At
a time when literature has become a policy there was a need to meet the requirements of political ideology. In the
years so as to bring the thoughts indirectly, by the help of hints, the role of symbols acquired a special significance.
Changes, upheavals in the
early 20th century poets were able to show with characters such as, rain, waves
and wind. Allegorical character images were widely adopted in the poems "Red
Horse", "Sovetstan", "Kokshetau." But the coup that
began in the 30s tied hand and foot and forced to remain silent creative
writers. Such images as "clouds, wind, hurricane, the sea," seemed to
be signs of bad intentions. Symbols were used skillfully in Kazakh prose by such
famous writers as M. Auez, G.Musrepov. At the time the characters change and
develop. If in many works by S.Seifullin symbol described in the form of a
dashing knight, wind, boats, birds and fast train, then in poetry presented in
the form of swans, mystery chest, a white camel. Each takes on different moods
of the poet, his feelings and thoughts, events and featured character names.
This is due to the fact that the symbol has two sides of perception: the first
part - the imagery aimed at a sense, the images presented to the reader, the
second part is the main idea of the author associated with the
inner spiritual world.
The knowledge of
the inner world of man leads to the knowledge of more valuable property.
A
flower withers in the field
Ferocious wind. Dark night scared
Clouds rushing across the sky [1, 274].
This line of
poetry by Fariza emerged from the
deep inner feelings. The internal state of the poet is conveyed in his way. Withered flower of the
field-scarred symbol of the soul of the poet, a strong wind, something that
stirs the soul, dark night - a symbol of grief. Stormy clouds in the sky convey
restless state of poets’mind. This
state is continued further into the verse.
The Sun appeared from the field
(The Earth shines getting rid of cold sadness [1, 274].
The sun in this
poem - the poet's optimistic thoughts, dreams and desires.
Ridding the earth of cold
sadness, giving bloom, author finds solace
in poetry., gives the soul peace. It is important to pay attention to the
symbolism of colors in the works of poets. With the help of lyric poetry can be
found rare color. These colors play an important role - an explanation of the
aesthetic spirit of lyrical works.
Currently poets can speak with different colors masterfully. Especially in the
poetics F. Ongarsynova color symbolism shows the inner soul. In the poetry of
color there are many examples that illustrate the variety of vocabulary. The white rays, vague dreams,
black abyss, the blue peaks show the inner world and the state of the poet.
We've noticed that such words as a child's soul, a vague sadness, a
sense of sweet, milk rays are often met.
Stormy feeling
worries
Nothing surprises me in this
world
I feel crazy
tender field loses its beauty
rage, anger all in me
sadness in my soul
the two of us tied the fate [2, 47].
These separate
lines of the verse and the following lines show the inner longing of the poet,
thoughts and feelings. The poet writes lines as in thrill, giving free rein to
the senses. As if revealing the soul to all readers.
Pay attention to the symbols
of color-ranks in the poem by H. Salykbaeva. In one only poetries "soul" there are such characters as
white sorrow, anguish white, white universe, whiter than the moon eyebrows,
white valley of dreams, darkblue night,
black snow, reddish-yellow surface of the black water,a gray box, a gray city, a gray area , yellowish white world, yellow city,
heart of a yellowish, yellow garden,
red sun, moon, bluish Valley, yellow
lover, the bluish sun, a red man, a man,
green state, the green voice. Developing the poetic tradition paved before, Salykbaeva
skillfully uses epithets related to color. Among these applications is the
color of abstract phenomena. All this reveals the internal state of the poet.
I saw you
but all in vain
Seeing you my eyes will sink in tears
I
had a white sorrow
Nights in white
the white enveloping sadness elevated happiness [2, 47].
Such images in
these lines as white sorrow, white
night, white sadness arose as a result of the submission and retrieval of the poet of an unknown world.
Talking, drawing color in the
colors of life, the poet gives each color value.
Dazzled by the "red sun" the poet
transformed into her favourite image in
her poetry. Let’s read poetry by F. Ongarsynova on one of
the season, autumn.
Capricious river can not calm
down
The mountains are having
covered by clouds
White birches weep
accidentally scattered the leaves
The young sky is angry
hides its summer beauty
grayish field in the offense
as a child
The gardens are full of fruit
once
is now empty
wind is whistling through the
windows of houses
the blue sky has lost its
color
gray clouds float at random
children with naïve soul run
the ball [1, 197].
To compare fall with sadness, to make the clouds weep,
bare trees, all these are familiar to us. Sometimes the image of the fall
shows sad feelings. But in this
poem seems to have peculiarity-beauty.
Nature for Fariza - carefree childhood. Birch trees are crying because
the leaves are scattered at random, grayish blown further hurt as a child.
Accordingly, the recovery time events, with a description of their freshness,
human character, appearance, movement shows strength, and resourcefulness of
the poet. This image of the fall - symbol of poet’s poetry . The poet helps the reader to feel deeply his
poetry, to search for the meaning of many words.
delicate flowers tremble like
the feeling of love
of
gay men shouting plain can not sleep [1, 198].
Delicate flowers
and wide steppe turns into the image of a man. This is the traditional need for
novelty and originality of the poet. His style of description. "The symbol
is a description of the object or phenomena indirectly. Description of similar
phenomena, the description indirectly. Thoughts are also transmitted
indirectly, as explained by the pleasant events.
«The most important character
in the art of words gives a beautiful reality described by the imagination, the
humble philosophical connotations attached to the product image of mysterious» [3, 219], - - says academician Z.
Kabdolov.
Every poet, on the basis of
his poetic distinction, ability to think imaginatively, creating a variety of
descriptive images. Symbolic images are found in all the poets. Recognition of
poetic beauty of speech is a sensitive sense of the reader.
