AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF ALEKSANDR FAYNBERG’S POEM “LOOK FROM THE BOTTOMLESS SEA”
Abstract
Introduction.
Modern Uzbek–Russian poetry has long been enriched by poets who explore the
human spirit, the subtle shades of emotion, and the symbolic relationship between
nature and the inner world. Among such prominent figures stands Aleksandr Faynberg
(1946–2021), a poet widely known for his gentle lyricism, spiritual depth, and
universal humanistic worldview. His works often merge personal experience with
abstract reflections on life, time, and memory, creating a poetic landscape where nature
acts as both companion and witness to human emotion.
The poem “Look from the Bottomless Sea” (Tubi yo‘q dengizdan boq) presents
one of Faynberg’s most delicate lyrical meditations. Through natural images such as
the sea, stars, leaves, and wind, the poet constructs a symbolic dialogue between the
lyrical hero and the world. The poem is not merely descriptive; it reveals a deep
emotional structure in which poetry becomes a space for spiritual purification and
connection with future generations.
