Abstract
The paper considers two poems by Y.D. Levitansky from his book “Cinematography” (1970): “Remembrance of Colored Glass” and “Remembrance of Red Snow”. The paper is aimed at studying methods of visual representation of memory in lyrical texts. To that end it analyses the subjective structure, space and time, as well as sound and visual images, including color. In addition, the poems are related to each other. As a result, conclusions are made about the specificity of the visual image of memory in those poems.
