Constant of folklore ideality of the world in spiritual verses and in the poetry of Nikolay Tryapkin

The article examines key motifs and constant images in Russian poetry. The relevance of the topic is due to the current lack of special literary studies related to the study of the constant of the folklore ideality of the world in Tryapkin’s poetry and spiritual verses, as well as the significance of this concept for the formation of a lyrical motif that conveys the intimate experience of turning to the inner, spiritual, divine and eternal beginning. The work used the methods of semantic, socio-cultural and contextual analysis. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the combined use of folkloristic and philological approaches, which made it possible to discover semantic analogies between the images of the saving desert in spiritual verses and a secluded place, hut or the far North in Tryapkin’s poetry, as well as to clarify the features of the constant of the folklore ideality of the world. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the constant of the folklore ideality of the world is formed by various forms of interaction between the earthly and heavenly principles. Bypassing the stage of plausibility, the constant of the folklore ideality of the world transforms reality into a dimension of the miraculous, in which the ideal and reality are merged into one. In spiritual verses, folklore ideality is associated, first of all, with the natural world, which was created by God, and therefore is filled with grace and beautiful. At the heart of the constant is the axiological principle of distinguishing between the external and internal desert, which permeates not only the poetics of spiritual verses, but also many plots of Russian literature. The author comes to the conclusion that the internal desert, absorbing silence and light, is presented in the northern verses of Nikolay Tryapkin. The lyrical hero is depicted as a contemplator, capable of freeing himself from the bustle of everyday life and coming into contact with the invisible world, with the dimension of the Tabor miracle, which correlates with the prayerful mood and imagery of spiritual verses.
