Abstract
The article is dealing with the theme of memory, the correlation between the categories of imagination and forgetting, as well as the presence of boundaries between the concepts on the example of Yuri Levitansky’s poem “How slowly I was forgetting you!..”, 1959. The article considers ways of depicting memory and forgetting, reveals their visual aspects. An important role in the representation of memory is played by the imagination of the lyrical subject, who, being prone to forgetting, turns to the imaginary, thereby completing the lost memories, filling in the gaps in memory, relying on his feelings and emotions. The article shows how the presence of boundaries between memory, forgetting and imagination does not prevent the consciousness of the lyrical subject from returning to the past, but rather helps and contributes to the acquisition of lost memories.
