Short analysis of the poem “For everything, Lord, I thank you” by Ivan Bunin
The poem “For everything, Lord, I thank you!..” by the renowned Russian writer, Ivan Andreevich Bunin was initially published in the seventh issue of the magazine “World of God” in 1901, titled “At Sunset.” This poem is widely believed to have been influenced by the religious lyrics of Lermontov. Specifically, it bears resemblance to Lermontov’s work “When the yellowing field is agitated…” from 1837. The thematic and stylistic parallels between these poems showcase the impact and inspiration Lermontov’s religious lyrics had on Bunin’s work.
Ivan Bunin, as a poet, found spiritual harmony and unity with nature rather than with other people. His literary career was marked by a notable negative attitude towards various writers, including Yesenin, Babel, Ehrenburg, and Pilnyak. Moreover, he expressed skepticism towards certain literary phenomena such as clichés and lyrical endings to stories.
