Abstract

This paper analyzes the linguistic representation of the prototypical images of CENTURIES in Russian 19-century poetry. The author comes to the conclusion that Russian 19-century poets mostly recur to personification in relation to 'centuries', creating images of flowing Water and flying Birds.
