Patrzenie jako źródło cierpień (z rzymskich dziejów pewnego motywu literackiego)
Sight and Suffering: From the Roman History of a Literary Motif

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines a number of Roman literary texts (by Ennus, Cicero, Vergil, Ovid, Seneca the Younger, Lucan, Tacitus, Jerome, etc.) in which viewing is connected with mental or emotional suffering. Usually, the emphasis is laid on a character's viewing of some dramatic events - a close relative's death, for example - and on his or her emotional response to what is being seen.
