Life

Viktor Sabila was born on the farm of Kukurikovshchina ( Кукуриковщина ), now part of the village of Sabilivshchyna ( Забілівщина ) in Borsna district of the Ukrainian Oblast Chernihiv , the son of an old Cossack family . Between 1822 and 1825 he studied at the grammar school in Nischyn , where he attended the same class with Nikolai Gogol . After his school days he went to the Russian Army , which he left in 1834 with the rank of lieutenant and settled on his father's property. There he received Wassili Sternberg , Michail Glinka and his friend Taras Shevchenko, among others .

This he first met in 1843 on the estate of Grigorі S. Tarnowski in Kachanivka and again in 1846 on the estate of Tetjana Wilchiwska ( Тетяна Густавівна Вільхівська ) in the village Mojssiwka ( Мойсівка ). In 1847 both met at the wedding of Pantelejmon Kulisch and Hanna Barwinok and in the winter of the same year Shevchenko visited him and painted a (not preserved) portrait of him. Sabila was actively involved in the reburial and burial of Shevchenko in 1861.

Sabila fell in love with Luba Mychajliwna Biloserska, the sister of Wassyl Biloserskyj and Hanna Barwinok, the wife of Pantelejmon Kulisch. After the engagement the marriage date was already set, but a rich widower bought a village near Motronivka and Luba's father married her to the widower against her will. Sabila suffered heavily from this stroke of fate and changed a lot. He died at the age of 61 in Borsna and was buried there. His grave was preserved until at least 1905.

Its literary activity began in the mid-1830s. The predominant motifs of the poems of the romantic poet, who was influenced by Shevchenko, were loneliness, sadness and unhappy love. Some of the poems realistically reflected social inequality and the hard life of working people. His poetry was neither very original nor very important, but his songs Гуде вітер вельми в полі Hude witer welmy w poli (in German: The wind field blowing loud ) and Не щебечи, соловейку schtschebetschy Ne, solowejku (in German: Do not sing , Nachtigall ) to the music of M. Glinka achieved great popularity. He also composed music for some of his own works, which he also performed with bandura accompaniment . His poems were first published in 1841.

Ivan Franko placed him in a row with Shevchenko's most talented contemporaries after he noticed Sabila's significant contribution to the development of Ukrainian poetry and in 1906 published Sabila's collection of poems Пісні крізь сльози Pisni kris sljosy (in German: songs through tears ).
