This paper investigates the poetics of the everyday as a common thread between Derzhavin and Pasternak. It shows how Pasternak revives Derzhavin's tradition of poeticizing everyday life and the material world. I discuss the everyday in three aspects: visibility of the everyday, feasting and everyday as a refuge. Contemplation, feasting, household form the semantic field of the primitive, based on the instincts of existence. These instincts protect and lead the individual in everyday experience. Pleasure from the everyday, an abundance of household objects and feasting are transformed into an aesthetic pleasure and spiritual food.
