Abstract
This article analyses one of G. Ivanov’s poems, in which the syntactic and notional ellipsis creating a «default figure» is the main text-forming device and means of expressing meaningful uncertainty, while numerous lexical and semantic repetitions contribute to the ambiguity of key words, giving them symbolic meaning and expanding the circle of associations. The aim of the article is to help the reader of the poem to solve the riddle intertwined by the poet, which allows ambiguous answers.
