“A dark river flows”

The aporias and ambivalences of the Second Nocturne by Władysław Sebyła

Summary/Abstract: Władysław Sebyła’s Second "Nocturne" is a major chord in this partly literary, partly musical series of poems. The author of the article tries to unravel the mystery of the dark tones and black color that dominate the tenor and landscapes of this text. The “aporias and ambivalences” mentioned in the title are the key to the semantics of this represented world. The analysis of individual lines shows their compositional dominant and great carrying power of meanings. Aporia, which is a semantic vortex, and ambivalence, which always sees the two opposing banks of this metaphorical river, illustrate well the literary intention of Sebyła and the interpretative intent of the author of the article.
