Extraordinary vivacity and freshness emanates from every single line of A. Pushkin’s “Winter Morning”, which is written in the author’s favorite format, iambic tetrameter, a format I endeavored to preserve in the translation. The unique condition of the poem that emerges from the combination of the astonishing natural imagery that the poet uses and the invariable structure of each stanza, assists in creating the fundamental feeling of getting swoop off your feet and being brought along with the wind, and then being put back, and the process being repeated. This is the precise sensation that I experienced when I first read the poem in the third grade, being introduced to Pushkin back in Belarus. And it is this feeling, in conjunction with the magical usage of literary devices like imagery, antithesis, alliteration, that always made me love the poem, and admire the meaning that it brings across in an elegant and sumptuous manner. The poem “Winter Morning” has two main characters – the so-called lyrical character (the author) and the beauty, who the poem is dedicated to. The, short rapid onset of the work and the few elegant and gentle poetic phrases in the first stanza, describing both the winter nature and the beautiful lady, are utilized by the author in order to establish an unusually festive and optimistic mood. An antithesis is established in the first line of the poem, bringing contrast to the “cold frost” (something frozen, stiff, close to death) and the “sunshine” (warmth, love, life). The author first addresses the lady by using a metaphor in line 2, saying “Your dormant eyes, I beg you, to uncover”, imparting a romantic style of writing to the way the author appeals to his love. Later in the stanza, the image of the heroine is introduced, referring to her as “the star of the North”, cold and unapproachable. She is immersed in sleep and peacefulness, feeling as if she does not desire to “wake up” to life. This description of the main female character draws an analogy between her and a long, freezing winter. The narrator, on the other side
