Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to explain sensual depictions that are constantly present in Norwid’s works – albeit they are sometimes hidden – by means of cognitivistic categories. On the example of two texts two different ways are shown, in which these depictions are used by the poet. A fragment from the drama Cleopatra and Caesar illustrates Norwid’s technique of realistic description, and the poem Fate – the technique of allegory.
