Widzieć przyjaciela. Słowacki o Krasińskim
To see a friend. Słowacki about Krasiński

Summary/Abstract: The very sketch entitled To see a friend. Słowacki about Krasiński makes an attempt to answer the question how Słowacki perceived Krasiński and his writing. The documentation in question shows that Słowacki treated Krasiński as a friend, a soulmate, a friendly and sensitive critic of his own works. The opinion of the author of Irydion was of great importance for Słowacki, and infrequently quoted by him. The relationship bonds did not eliminate the differences between both of them. As they often agreed when it comes to poetics and aesthetics of their works, some controversies were observed at an ideological level. In spite of that, Słowacki, predicting death, perceived Krasiński as his continuator and a great man who is strong enough to bear the burden “of millions of people” to some extent.
