Abstract

Polixena Sergeyevna Solovieva is the poetess of symbolist school. Her first poetic collection «Poems» was published in 1899, the second book of verses under the name «Hoarfrost» appeared in 1905. «Snow hoarfrost» is one of traditional symbols of literature of the Silver age. Referring to the theme of nature, the poetess uses a number of significant symbols. Among them there is such a symbol of hope as the blossoming cherry - «rime of spring renewal». All artistic means which are found in the collection: ring composition, antithesis, alliterations, serve to express the poetic credo of P. Solovieva. The article also deals with the play “Blind” which is included in the collection «Hoarfrost”. It is a romantic story with adventures of a «witch», with mentioning of magic forces of nature. The figurative system is correlated with Ancient Greek mythology, the Christian beginning is bound with mysticism. Christian ideals of P. Solovieva are «love and eternal life». They are revealed in the image of Oread representing force and energy of the world, the aspiration from pagan roots to future Sacred Russia.
