Summary/Abstract: The essay is about Wisława Szymborska’s late poetry, especially the last volume, Wystarczy [Enough]. The poet’s frequent returns, repetitions, and various references to her earlier work are of particular importance. The author argues that, contrary to the general opinion, these references do not reflect a creative crisis or exhaustion of Szymborska’s poetics, but develop and deepen her anthropological reflection on the essence of humanity.
