VALUE CONTENT OF THE COMPLEX OF MOTIVES OF DAWN AND DUSK IN YA. POLONSKY’S LYRICS

The lyrical works of Ya. Polonsky, thematically related to the motives of the morning and evening dawn, are analyzed using a value approach. The works of the early, mature and late periods of the poet's creativity are involved in the study. In the course of comparative consideration of the selected group of texts, semantic and value oppositions structuring the picture of the world depicted by the author are determined. It is established that the motivic complex of the morning and evening dawn acquires value content in the poetic world of the author. The dynamics of the author's value attitudes is determined. In the early lyrics, life values are reduced to romantic unity: "youth–freedom–love–joy–light". A mature poet is looking for spiritual meanings of being. The morning and evening dawn serve to express a sense of disappointment in society (daylight fading) and hope for its liberation from false values (enlightenment). In the poems of late lyricism, the Motives of Dawn and Dusk include the value of the spiritual renewal of humanity in the gospel sense.
