Nikolai Michailowitsch Jasykow
Nikolay Yazykov ( Russian Николай Михайлович Языков ; born March 4 . Jul / 16th March 1803 greg. In Simbirsk , † December 26, 1846 jul. / 7. January 1847 greg. In Moscow ) was a Russian poet.
Life
Jasykow came to the Mining Institute in St. Petersburg in 1815 and then joined the engineering corps, from which he left after a year because of his inclination to pursue literary activities. He was a member of the Russian Baltic Corps Ruthenia Dorpat .
He then lived in Dorpat and from 1829 in Moscow, where he was employed in the surveying office from 1831 to 1833. In order to restore his unsteady health, he stayed for a long time in his hometown, then in Italy and Switzerland.
Returned to Moscow in 1843, he died there on December 26, 1846. After he was initially a singer of wine and love (hence his nickname "Russian anacreon"), he later took a more serious course under the influence of an incurable painful illness and turned to religious subjects.
His poetry, highly valued by Pushkin , is characterized by masterly versification and mastery of language as well as by intimacy and atmospheric upswing. The first collection of the same appeared in Petersburg in 1833, the last ( Stichotworénija NM Jasýkowa , with biographical notes) in Moscow in 1858 (2 vols.).
