Motywy indyjskie w poezji Romana Rostworowskiego
Indian motifs in the poetry of Roman Rostworowski

Summary/Abstract: Along with the development of colonialism in Europe, more and more people became interested in Oriental cultures. Not only objects of international trade such as spices and textiles reached our continent, but also elements of culture; especially in the field of literature, philosophy and religion. In the era of Romanticism and Young Poland, according to current trends, many writers used oriental motifs in their works. Roman Rostworowski (1885–1954), poet and landlord, whose poetry was imbued with Young Poland convention and the Indian philosophical and religious thought, was a continuation of this tradition. Numerous references to Indian culture in the works of Rostworowski show not only a source of his inspiration but also his personal path of spiritual development, which he followed from the first moment of contact with Indian philosophical and religious literature.
