“Life and Death” composition
Life and death are the beginning and the end of human existence. With time of gray antiquity, the peoples of the world retain the notion that death is a metamorphosis. Pashi distant ancestors did not believe in the natural inevitability of death. They likened the death of life. Rather, death seemed to them a kind of boundary, beyond which a new life began in another world. And once after death, life will necessarily have a continuation, then the person was not afraid of death.
Earth life seemed to our ancestors to be one of many links in the long chain of all the dead ancestors. They maintained a constant connection with them throughout their lives, and therefore their terrestrial life had for them a different value and a different meaning.

However, everyday thoughts of death do not cause in the poet’s soul bitterness and melancholy, do not violate spiritual clarity.
A true patriot of Russia, A. Pushkin even after death would like to stay with him, and he would like to rest “closer to a sweet limit.”
With all his optimism and cheerfulness, the poet is still not inclined to deny the inevitable. He accepts death – but with the utmost reverence for life:
And let the death of Mladaya have a life to play,
And the indifferent nature of Krasuyu eternally shine.
