Balmont is not only a moment of experiencing a lyrical emotion in all the entirety of its unique circumstances and the means to express such an emotion, but also the subject of poietic reflection, which attains the form of temporal designations, or temporal units, in his poems and which gives insight into general approaches the poet applied to time as a source of poietic creativity. We conducted a study of archetypicity of the novel literature and its ability to embody the mythologic “content” in itself, and is aimed at elucidating the tools for mythologization of time in Balmont’s poems as a reflection of the folk conscience which has impacted on the uniqueness of the author’s poietic manner. Scientific novelty of this study is defined by focusing attention on temporal designations, or temporal units, as resource for artistic world-modelling based on the principles of mythologic and folkloric conscience. The main body of the article represents an analysis of how these temporal designations function in Balmont’s poetic works: as realization of the sacral meaning of events or phenomena; as indication of the supernatural essence of an object; as mutual reversibility of the temporary and the eternal; as a cycle of all that happens in the world (a round-dancing of time); as metaphor of transience of life or, conversely, as an opportunity to “stretch out” time in order to fit long years into a single moment. The results suggested that Balmont considered time and temporal designations, or temporal units, as a way to reproduce the laws of being in the form of poetic images bearing the signs of folk conscience in themselves.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Время для К.Д. Бальмонта – не только момент переживания лирической эмоции во всей совокупности неповторимых обстоятельств и приемов ее передачи, но и предмет поэтической рефлексии, принявший вид темпоральных единиц. Проведено исследование архетипичности новой литературы, ее способности воплощать мифологическое «содержание». Главная цель – рассмотреть приемы мифологизации времени в стихотворных произведениях Бальмонта, показать, как в них отражается народное сознание, как народное творчество влияет на уникальность авторской поэтической манеры. Изучается, как у Бальмонта функционируют временные обозначения: реализация сакрального смысла событий или явлений; указание на сверхъестественную природу объекта; взаимообратимость временного и вечного; круговорот всего происходящего в мире («хороводность времен»); метафора быстротечности жизни или, наоборот, возможность «растянуть» время, чтобы в одно мгновенье вместить долгие годы. Полученные результаты показали, что Бальмонт рассматривал время, временные обозначения, темпоральные единицы как способ воспроизведения законов бытия в поэтических образах, несущих приметы народного сознания.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>temporal units</kwd><kwd>myth</kwd><kwd>folklore</kwd><kwd>archetype</kwd><kwd>folk conscience</kwd><kwd>metaphor</kwd><kwd>amplification</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>темпоральные единицы</kwd><kwd>миф</kwd><kwd>фольклор</kwd><kwd>архетип</kwd><kwd>народное сознание</kwd><kwd>метафора</kwd><kwd>амплификация</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Abasheva, D.V.
