Słońce w kaftanie bezpieczeństwa, czyli najkrótsza historia misji Chrystusa (na przykładzie Na wielkiej głębokości... Borysa Popławskiego)
The sun in a strait jacket or the shortest history o f Christ’s mission (by the example o f "At Great Depth...” by Boris Poplavsky)

Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the surrealistic miniature At great depth... by Boris Poplavsky andbelieves that the poem may be understood as the shortest history of Christ’s mission. This hypothesisis supported both by the form and the content of the work. Potentially religious meaningsare hidden behind symbolic objects and actions. Sleep, for instance, takes the place of Advent, onthe one hand, and, on the other, symbolizes mental doze of the Jews who were completelyunprepared for the lessons Jesus taught. The author believes that Poplavsky’s text allows to statethat neither the Israelites then nor the Christians now use the unique chance given to the humanityby the new commandment of Christ, the commandment to love one’s neighbor. That fact arousespoet’s pity. That state crowns the analyzed miniature and implies the evaluation of Jesus’ earthlymission.
