THE THEME OF “DEATH - IMMORTALITY” IN M. VOLOSHIN’S POEMS OF THE 1900-th

The poems of the first book of verse by M. Voloshin are analysed in terms of life and death, instant and eternity, philosophy of time, subtext and secret meaning. The cycle of little poems “When Time stops” is analysed. The main thing is the concept of “cave - space” in the sonnet “Grotto of Nymphs” set against antroposophic theory. The tie of the verse with the treatise of Greek thinker Porfiriy is traced. The sonnet is perceived as mystical project of poet’s fate.
