                               PROCEDURE OF THE LESSON

      І.   INTRODUCTION. 

1.  Greeting.  Teacher's introduction into the topic.

Teacher. Good  morning, students!

( звучить мелодія пісні «Реве та стогне Дніпр широкий» у виконанні народного хору ім. Г.Верьовки.)

На фоні пісні учитель читає вірш Т.Г.Шевченка «Реве та стогне Дніпр широкий» англійською мовою.

                                              The Mighty Dnieper

The mighty Dnieper roars and bellows,

The wind in anger howls and raves,

Down to the ground it bends the willows,

And mountain-high lifts up the waves.

 

The pale-faced moon picked out this moment

To peek out from behind a cloud,

Like a canoe upon the ocean

It first tips up, and then dips down.

The cocks don't crow to wake the morning,

There's not as yet a sound of man,

The owls in glades call out their warnings,

And ash trees creak and creak again.

   Taras Hryhorovych  Shevchenko was born in a serf family in the village of Moryntsi of Kyiv Governorate of the Russian Empire (now Cherkasy region) March 9, 1814. Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko was a Ukrainian poet, artist and humanist. His literary heritage is regarded to be the foundation of modern Ukrainian literature and, to a large extent, the modern Ukrainian language. Shevchenko also wrote in Russian and left many masterpieces as a painter and an illustrator.

      Shevchenko was orphaned at the age of eleven. He was taught to read by a village precentor, and loved to draw at every opportunity. Shevchenko went with his Russian aristocrat landlord Pavel Engelhardt to Vilna, 1828–31, and then to Saint Petersburg. There he met the Ukrainian artist Ivan Soshenko, who introduced him to other compatriots such as Yevhen Hrebinka and Vasyl Hryhorovych, and to the Russian painter Alexey Venetsianov. Through these men Shevchenko also met the famous painter and professor Karl Briullov, who donated his portrait of the Russian poet Vasily Zhukovsky as a lottery prize, whose proceeds were used to buy Shevchenko's freedom on May 5, 1838. In the same year Shevchenko was accepted as a student into the Academy of Arts in the workshop of Karl Briullov.

   He began writing poetry while he was a serf and in 1840 his first collection of poetry, «Kobzar», was published. Shevchenko also wrote plays. In 1842, he released a part of the tragedy «Mykyta Hayday» and in 1843 he completed the drama «Nazar Stodolya». While residing in Saint Petersburg, Shevchenko made three trips to the regions of modern Ukraine, in 1843, 1845, and 1846.

    In 1844, distressed by the condition of Ukrainian regions in the Russian Empire, Shevchenko decided to capture some of his homeland's historical ruins and cultural monuments in an album of etchings, which he called «Picturesque Ukraine».

   Shevchenko was sent to prison in Saint Petersburg. He was exiled as a private with the Russian military Orenburg garrison at Orsk, near Orenburg, near the Ural Mountains.

   Taras Shevchenko spent the last years of his life working on new poetry, paintings, and engravings, as well as editing his older works. But after his difficult years in exile his final illness proved too much. Shevchenko died in Saint Petersburg on March 10, 1861, the day after his 47th birthday.

(звучить мелодія гри на кобзі).

     MY TESTAMENT

When I die, let me be buried

In my beloved Ukraine,

My tomb upon a grave-mound high,

Amid the wide-spread plain,

That the fields, the steppe unbounded,

The Dnieper’s plunging shore

My eye could see, my ear could hear

The mighty river roar,

When from Ukraine the Dnieper bears

Into the deep blue sea

The blood of foes… then will I leave

These hills and fertile fields –

I’ll leave them all behind and fly

To the abode of God

To sing His praise… But till that day –

I nothing know of God.

On bury me, then rise ye up

And break your heavy chains

And water with the tyrants’ blood

The freedom you have gained.

And in the great new family,

The family of the free,

With softly-spoken kindly word

Remember also me.                                                                                

 Translated by John Weir

 

My Thoughts

My thorny thoughts, my thorny thoughts,

You bring me only woe!

Why do you on the paper stand

So sadly row on row?...

Why did the winds not scatter you

Like dust across the steppes?

Why did ill-luck not cradle you

To sleep upon its breast?...

 

My thoughts, my melancholy thoughts,

My children, tender shoots!

I nursed you, brought you up -- and now

What shall I do with you?...

Go to Ukraine, my homeless waifs!

Your way make to Ukraine

Along back roads like vagabonds,

But I'm doomed here to stay.

 

There you will find a heart that's true

And words of welcome kind,

There honesty, unvarnished truth

And, maybe, fame you'll find...

So welcome them, my Motherland,

Ukraine, into your home!

Accept my guileless, simple brood

And take them for your own!

 St. Petersburg, 1839.           Translated by John Weir

                 TARAS SHEVCHENKO LIVED HERE

There is a small building on Shevchenko  by-Street in Kyiv.

The building has a memorial plaque which reads: “In 1846 Taras Shevchenko, the great Ukrainian poet, painter and revolutionary democrat, lived in this house”.

Exploring one room after another, visitor feels that he has travelled back into the 19th century. The walls are covered with drawings and paintings.

Collections of works by T. Shevchenko, which were printed 100 years ago, reviews on his creations, reproductions of his pictures and several lifetime editions of his works are exhibited here. The drawings show us the views of the 19th century Kyiv: the old part of Kyiv with Khreschatyk Street and Podil, the way they looked from the Hills of Pechersk.

We can see here a miniature room with a single small window and a stove in the corner.

“Taras Shevchenko lived here,” says the guide.

A few modest armchairs and a sofa make up nearly all the furniture in the room. There are framed pages of the hand-written “Lileia”, “Mermaid” and other poems which were created here, the early 19th century works by Shakespeare, “Russkaia Starina” almanakh, stories by P. Kulish and others.

The display of the poet’s personal effects includes: the easel, brushes, chisels, rulers, pencils, chalk, an inkpot, a box of drawing instruments, a simple cotton suit and several shirts of rough linen.

People are coming here to pay homage to the immortal poet.
