The characteristics of Balmont’s poetry

As the "singer" of the sun, Balmont attached great importance to the musicality of poetry. He created many unique rhythmic methods for the Russian poetry world. He said: "I am always moving from the definite area of ??language to the uncertain area of ??music, and I try my best to pursue musicality." He wrote in the book "Poetry is Magic", "Poetry is rhythmic language expression. "The inner music that emerges." This is also the artistic realm pursued by the Symbolists. Balmont skillfully used consonant homophony, internal rhyme, duplication, thimble and other techniques in his poems to create an atmosphere of one chant and three sighs, making each poem a natural song. Bryusov praised his poetry as "surpassing Feit in lightness and surpassing Lermontov in melodiousness".

Balmont is also very good at creating beautiful and profound artistic conception for poetry. He often uses bold and surprising rhetorical devices such as symbolism, synesthesia, and metaphor to make his poems elegant and free-spirited, with long-lasting implications. Balmont said: "Realists are always simple observers, while symbolists are always thinkers. Realists are only interested in expressing concrete life? Symbolists are far away from the existence of reality and only see their own ideals in it. ?” Perhaps it is precisely because of his persistence, and precisely because he is a symbolist who is always thinking about the reality behind reality, that his poetry has gained such a moving charm, and his spirit can always follow the brilliance of the sun.
