DEDICATION

     I  dedicate  this  book  to Dr. R. Lane of the University of Durham for
sharing with me his great expertise and for his encouragement, to  my  wife,
Viv,  and stepsons, Richard and Matthew, for being so patient, to a warm and
good person, Julian Marko, who died on February 28th. 1994, for his  genuine
friendship, and to my father, Hugh, for many reasons.





	Imperturbable form is the outward sign
	of nature's utter consonance.
	Only our spectral liberty
	imparts a sense of dissonance.

	Whence this disharmony?  How did it arise?
	In the general chorus, why this solo refrain?
	Why do our souls not sing like the sea
	and why must the thinking reed complain?
(The sea is harmony. F. Tyutchev)



     .....  the  great  figures  in  imaginative literature are  perpetually
contemporary... they never become History. Ancient or  modern, they  live in
the  perpetual present of mankind, crowding it with an accumulation of  life
and a living variety of human experience.
     (Essays in Literature and Society. E. Muir)






     THE AUTHOR

     A freelance teacher in the north east of England, having taught  myself
Russian  I graduated from the University of Durham in 1972 with first  class
honours, following this with  doctoral  research  in the  work of  Tyutchev,
supervised by R. Lane. The research was never completed and I returned to it
some four years ago, one result being this book.
     Early editions of  selections of the poems appeared  under  the surname
"Murtagh", the name  I was born with and which I have discarded for personal
reasons.

     THE ILLUSTRATOR

     Shaheen Razvi is a  freelance artist living in Scotland.  She  has done
portraits, illustrated an Urdu text book and  a multi-cultural collection of
nursery  rhymes. She  has also contributed a  series of  oil paintings on an
anti-racist theme to a major exhibition.

FOREWORD BY R. LANE TO THE 1983 EDITION

     The  poet  Fyodor Tyutchev is  known and appreciated by too few  people
outside of Russia, and yet his  position as second to Pushkin (arguably only
with  the exception of Lermontov)  has  been acknowledged  by generations of
Russian/Soviet writers and critics. The reading  public had always cherished
his  lyrics, although they did  not always  have sufficient access to  them.
Tyutchev can teach  much  of  value  about both how to savour the  beauty of
fleeting moments and how to face life's adversities with spirit.
     It is precisely these  qualities which  have, I  believe,  been  caught
admirably  in  Frank  Murtagh's  translations. They  transmit faithfully the
feelings and the tone of the originals, sometimes with remarkable success. I
believe that he has tackled  sensibly the dilemma of the equation facing all
translators of  poetry - to what extent to reproduce the originals. It seems
inevitable that some  of the  rhymes  and the other formal features must  be
sacrificed to  the need to reproduce the "feel"  of Tyutchev's often amazing
lyrics.  Frank Murtagh  has  trod  this tightrope with  great  sureness  and
Tyutchev's distinctive  style  remains largely unsacrificed. Because he  has
known  and  loved the  Master  for  so long, his  translations  have  become
consonant with the original  poems. In this way they fill a real lacuna. For
this collection is the  first  accurate translation in  bulk  by  a  British
author. Its only forerunner was  Charles Tomlinson's  slim  volume  of 1960.
This  contained poems of great distinction by an eminent poet, but there was
more of  Tomlinson in them  than  Tyutchev. What is more, Frank  Murtagh has
translated more poems than any other author, several for the first time into
English, including some of the much neglected political pieces.
     This  book has been interestingly illustrated by Shaheen Razvi. Certain
of  the  illustrations  do not  present the poems in the  way in which  some
people  might have visualised  them, but they  are nevertheless a bold break
with  the   pretty-pretty  presentation  of  anthological  pieces   hitherto
dominant.
     All  in all, I believe that Frank Murtagh's book  is  essential reading
for  students  and  other readers  of Russian poetry  and  is  to  be warmly
recommended.

FOREWORD TO THIS EDITION

     Since R. Lane wrote his Foreword in 1983, only one edition of "quality"
translations of Tyutchev  has appeared till now, Anatoly Liberman's versions
of  181  of  the  poems  published  in  1991.  In   calling  them  "quality"
translations, I make a deliberate value judgement, for  his is not the  only
edition of selected poems to have appeared.
     There are  too many gaps in published Tyutchev  scholarship for any one
researcher  to deal with. The present book  is  intended to  be the first of
several of  various  lengths and  formats which I  wish to  produce  as time
allows and whose overall  aim  is to fill some  of these gaps.  I shall also
continue to work at the translations of the poems. I am all too aware of the
defects  of several of  my versions,  although  I  hope  they are  at  least
accurately rendered, even if they do little justice to Tyutchev. Very little
has been published in English about  his personal letters. There has been no
serious  attempt to translate them in bulk, possibly  because the task would
be monumental. A  satisfactory Russian version of all the  poems has yet  to
appear.  Russian  editors  still  tend  to  favour  splitting  up the  poems
according to relative quality, a very subjective business, to say the least.
A  study  of  Tyutchev in  the letters  and memoirs  of  others  would prove
illuminating. His  family, in  particular  two  of  his daughters, Anna  and
Ekaterina, deserve attention in their own right.
     Studies  carried  out by  Russian scholars  during the  late nineteenth
century and the Soviet period, culminating  in Pigaryov's Lirika edition and
his book on the poet's life and work,  Gregg's study of the life and poetry,
and Lane's extensive research, represented by numerous articles, some of his
contributions published in Literaturnoe nasledstvo  (1988-89), now, it seems
to me, need drawing together  with the many  other smaller  contributions of
the  past twenty  or thirty years  into a single, new book in English on the
writer, a thorough,  critical re-appraisal of his work. Such a  task will be
for a new Tyutchev scholar of energy.
