Alexander Pushkin & Robert Burns

ü Alexander Pushkin, Russian poet and philosopher, is held in high esteem and admiration in Russia as Robert Burns in Scotland throughout the world. Both poets had visions and expressed them in immortal lines. We pay a tribute to the memory of Robert Burns and Alexander Pushkin. ü Both Pushkin and Burns died in their 37 year. Burns was born into a poor peasant family, but his father encouraged him to study although Robert was forced to help him in the fields. He attributed many of his poetic themes to tales, ballads, legends and songs which his mother sang him in his childhood. ü Pushkin’s family was able to provide him with governers for his education ; his nurse taught him tales, legends songs and stories and like Burns ’ mother taught the boy to love his native land. Pushkin was reading Russian and western classics at the age of eleven and his and undoubtedly awakened his interest in literature. ü Buy nature Burns was happy, witty and cheerful and he had enquiring mind. He was interested in people in general and his belief in friendship was recognised by all who knew him ; he despised egotism, deceit and everything dishonourable.

q Pushkin had similar characteristics, in fact people loved him for his cheerfulness, wit and his gifted nature. The quality which links them together more than anything else is there genuine understanding of the nation as a whole. q Goethe said that Burns greatness was due to his links with the ordinary man and for his reason his songs were popular among the common folk. Of Pushkin Nikolai Gogol said that he was the reflection of the Russian soul and in his works one could find the richness, power and subtly of the Russian language at its height. q Just as Burns was the founder of Scottish poetry so Pushkin was the founder of Russia’s national literature. q Burns loved his native Scotland. He feels at home among the birds and the flowers with the wind and the rain. His nature poems are full of feeling and admiration the peasant, for example, speaks kindly to the wounded hare and the field mouse in the poems “On seeing a wounded Hare, himp by me” and “To a mouse” respectively.

“To a Mouse” I’m truly sorry man’s dominion Has broken Nature’s social union, An’ justifies that ill opinion Which makes thee startle At me, thy poor, earthborn companion An’ fellow mortal.

v He has a realistic view of life and of Nature and believes that Nature is full of significance and of symbols and everything around him as shere beauty. He says only what is necessary in clear and concise way. v The golden age of Russian literature emerged with the works of Alexander Pushkin. He was keen eye for nature, the beauties of natural scenery. His love of nature is our love. We see and feel like the great poet. “Winter evening” Dark the sky, the storm is howling While snow is furry wild, Like a forest creature growling Sobbing like a little child. Shaking the delapidated’ Roof, it whistles through the thatch, Like a traveller belated Tapes our window, tries the latch.
