Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi's story «Intermezzo» is a classic of Ukrainian impressionism. Everything in the work is symbolic - from the characters to the poetics. The reader is presented with the main characters: The Iron Hand of the Garden, The Fields in June, The Sun, Three White Shepherds, The Cuckoo, and Human Grief. The protagonist of the work seeks to take a break from people, and only among the green steppes and the bottomless blue of the sky does he finally hear silence. But is it possible to escape from the Iron Hand of the city? Won't the human grief meet him there too, and remind him of himself? The world of the soul, the world of nature, and the world of people merge together in misunderstandings and fleeting moments of harmony. The story is interesting for its depth of ideas and metaphorical richness.
