МОТИВ «МАНДРІВКИ» У ПОЕЗІЇ АЙХЕНДОРФА

This article is devoted to German romanticist Eichendorf. The attention is focused on the Eichendorf’s lyric poetry and reveals the main motifs of his poetry. The subject of the research is the linguistic and stylistic means that express the concept of “Die Wanderung” in Eichendorf’s lyric poetry.
In his lyric poetry, especially in the wandering cycles, Eichendorf generously depicts all seasons, choosing special shades and colours for each one. Visual images seem to be multiplied, doubled by associations of seasons, people’s age, destinies.
The concept of “journey” is not accidental in Eichendorf’s lyric poetry. On the one hand, it expresses autobiographical motifs. On the other hand, it acts as an immediate continuation of folk song traditions that were extremely popular at all stages of the development of German poetry, starting with minnesänger and meistersingers, and especially among romantics.
Moreover, the embodiment of poet’s religious worldview in journey motifs and understanding of human life itself as a kind of journey also deserve special attention. The journey of the character through space and time is embodied in extremely expressive, rich in intonations poetic forms.
