The freedom-loving poetry of G. Byron brought him fame not only in his native country, but throughout the world, meeting a warm response in the hearts of progressive people.

In the poem "You ended the path of life ..." the poet sings of the feat of a man who not only dedicated his life to the Motherland, but also died for it. “Now your glory will begin ...”, - says G. Byron, because “the image is majestic” and the courage of the hero will be immortalized in the people's memory, songs.

As long as your people are free,

He cannot forget you.

You fell! But your blood flows

Not on the ground, but in our veins;

Inspire powerful courage

The life of the hero-liberator was not in vain. His feat breathed strength and courage into young hearts, his deeds became an example for followers, his name will instill fear in enemies even after death.

We will make the enemy turn pale,

If we call you in the middle of the battle ...

So, in gratitude for the steadfastness, courage and selflessness, the people gave the hero an invaluable gift - real immortality.

Option 2

From an early age, the great English writer George Gordo *1 Byron thought about the fate of his country and people, about the events of life around him. He lived in the interests of his people” he was always interested and worried about the political struggle taking place in his homeland. The poet was sure that the meaning of life lies in the constant struggle in the name of freedom. And he reflected his thoughts and aspirations in works, which for the most part are of a rebellious nature. His poems and poems are imbued with the spirit of heroic protest against the oppression and enslavement of man, imbued with the idea of defending freedom and justice.

The heroes of all Byron's works are people of great willpower, great courage and heroism, people who do not resign themselves to evil, always ready to go to the feat for the liberation of their country. They challenge the injustices of bourgeois society. Such is the hero of the poem "You ended the path of life ...", in which the author sings of the feat of a man who gave his life for the freedom and independence of his people. The whole poem is permeated with the spirit of irreconcilable struggle and faith in victory. The hero died, but he continues to live in the memory of the people he freed:

You ended the path of life, hero!

Now your glory will begin...

The fearless struggle, the heroic feat in the name of the liberation of his native country, the people gave him a second life. His "image majestic", his courage and courage will long live in the hearts of people, "in the songs of the homeland of the saint." He won freedom for his people, and now he will not be forgotten:

You have fallen! But your blood does

not flow through the earth, but in our veins...

Inspired by the fearlessness of the hero, his great feat, people will continue his work. With his courage, he breathed hope, faith, “powerful courage” into the hearts of people, gave them strength for further struggle. His fame has spread everywhere, and the enemy trembles at the mere mention of his name.

As in most of the best works of the author, the motive of melancholy and pessimism is completely absent in the poem. “There will be no tears in my eyes,” he says. “Weeping would offend the glorious dust.” The hero died, but in his death is the affirmation of life, the triumph of freedom and justice.

Until the end of his life, George Gordon Byron remained an implacable, passionate poet-fighter. A great master of civil lyrics, he never ceased to sing in his poems the heroism of people who fearlessly fought against injustice for a brighter future. He believed that this future would certainly come. Perhaps that is why his works today do not lose their enormous poetic power. In new times, in new conditions, they continue to smash the enemies that the poet fought two centuries ago.

Option 3

George Byron was one of the founders of literary and philosophical romanticism. One of the main themes of his work was the theme of freedom. The poet personally took part in the liberation war of the Greek people, so this topic was especially close to him. Many of his works are imbued with sympathy for the fighters for independence.

The poem "You ended the path of life ..." is dedicated to the hero who selflessly fought for freedom. He died in the battle for his native land, which means that his people should not forget the feat.

As long as your people are free,

He cannot forget you.

You fell. But your blood flows

Not on the ground, but in our veins.

The author advises not to mourn the hero. His courage should evoke pride in people, a desire to continue the fight, as evidenced by the lines “your feat should inspire powerful courage into our chest.” The name of the hero has every right to be preserved for centuries, in the memory of the people. And his majestic image will live forever in the "songs of the homeland of the saint."

The theme of the poem is consonant with the fate of Byron himself. When Byron died, he was mourned as a national hero, although the poet himself did not consider himself one of those. He fought against the enslavers, sincerely considering it his duty. His poems instill courage and courage in readers, teach them to love their homeland and appreciate life as the only important gift. But even death is not destined to oust the memory of the hero from the hearts of grateful people:

You ended the path of life, hero.

Now your glory will begin.

Option 4

Byron, a wonderful English poet, is known all over the world as a freedom singer. Many of his works are dedicated to people who are ready to give their lives in the struggle for independence.

Byron's poem "You ended the path of life ..." is about a man whose fate was closely connected with the fate of his homeland. This hero lived in the name of the freedom of his people and died in the name of this freedom. Not looking for fame, he deserved it, and people remember his feat with gratitude:

And in the songs of the homeland of the saint

, The majestic image will

live, Your courage will live,

Freed her.

As long as your people are free,

He cannot forget you.

The poet sings of a man whose noble work did not end with death. The banner of struggle was picked up by friends and like-minded people following in the footsteps of the hero:

You fell! But your blood flows

Not on the ground, but in our veins;

Inspire powerful courage

. Your feat should be in our chest.

The man who gave his life for the freedom of his homeland continues to live in the memory of his compatriots and their songs. Tens of years will pass, and the name of the hero will not be forgotten. This is what I consider real immortality, because the spirit of a person and his worthy deeds can survive the centuries, inspiring young generations to new feats in the name of their people.
