Michel Niqueux, S. Klyčkov and S. Esenin between symbolism and aggelism.
The autumn of 1918 was for S. Esenin and S. Klyčkov a period of friendship and close cooperation. The present article comments on the following declaration of S. Esenin: "At a certain moment, we became friends with S. Klyčkov, a poet with whom I had a great spiritual affinity. I was writing at the time The keys of Mary and was preparing to declare myself together with him as attached to the new movement, Aggelism." Between 1907 and 1918, Klyčkov's poetry was near to the aspirations of the symbolist manifesto of Esenin, but it is in his novels that from 1925 on, we find a brilliant illustration of the themes of The keys of Mary, in particular of the world assimilated to a book that has to be deciphered, or to a hedonistic dream. The research on the origin and the content of the term aggelism allows to define it as the sensation of the forces of evil within the man in action against nature, the antithesis of the myth of Paradise; Esenin felt with particular intensity the presence of these forces in 1920-1923. They took the aspect of fantastic demonism in the case of Klyčkov. The aspiration towards a spiritual and poetical transfiguration of the world, as expressed in The keys of Mary determines together with malencient aggelism the two poles of the work and the spirit of Klyčkov and Esenin.
