Images of sight and hearing in early Pasternak’s lyrics (toward an interpretation issue)

Abstract

By analyzing a number of texts, the article reveals two main text-generating models of poetic work: the first is a glossal one based on the dominance of the sound rather than the metric constructive factor (the classic example of “Bobeoby sang the lips” by Velimir Khlebnikov). At the same time, approaching the “portrait” of the person close in some aspects to the genre of illustration, Khlebnikov’s text preserves the dynamism of the work of verbal creativity, which Tynyanov considered the most important way to avoid descripti art.

The second model, which can be called ontological, is based on a shift in the subject-object relationship that is characteristic of the classical art of the word. Here we put our argumentation of the analysis of Boris Pasternak’s poem. In the article, through analyzing the early poems by B. Pasternak, the specificity of the objectless figurativeness and the possibility of its interpretation are considered.
