Фрагментарная система Федора Тютчева

The paper explores two almost paradoxical aspects of Tiutchev's work, which characterize Tiutchev on the one hand as a poet, on the other hand as a thinker. As a poet Tiutchev is interested in daily life: from events of great political importance to small, insignificant incidents. Hence his predilection for fragmentariness and improvisation, epigrams and bon mots. Tiutchev the thinker seems to be far removed from the present and proves himself to be a disciple of Greek philosophers.
