Philosophy of images of nature in the “eastern” poems of G.G. Byron and “southern” poems of A.S. Pushkin

Abstract

The images of nature in the poems of the two national geniuses are considered within the opposition of the horizontal/vertical, which is laden with philosophical and metaphorical semantics. Both poets show that, in the absence of spirituality, the true internal freedom sought by the main characters cannot be attained
