Na pograniczu snu i marzenia – między onirycznym lotem a teofanią w języku poetyckim Tadeusza Gajcego
On the borderline of sleep and dream – between a dream-like poetic flight and teophany in the poetic language of Tadeusz Gajcy

Summary/Abstract: The speech of sleep can be experienced both in the world of private symbols as wellas symbolic situations. Sleep marries in itself the rational with the supernatural. And so allowsus to contact the divine (sacred). In his poetry Tadeusz Gajcy treats sleep as the meeting place,of the invisible (as it is obscured by the senses) with the visible (as it refers to real events).Similarly, dreams are not something trivial, frivolous, the poet assigns them a metaphysicalvalue, and therefore seems to be saying: cast a spell, believe in the power of creativeimagination, give it a name to transform the time. In this way, it seems to invite the readerto embark on a joint flight to the place of intangible fulfilments, to hope itself. On the borderlineof sleep and dream in the language of poetry by Tadeusz Gajcy there appear angels. Their voicestrengthens identity, does not allow personality to lose itself in the dream-like visions,in obscurity (as the only way of liberation from suffering); the voice of theophany that appearsin the poetic language of Tadeusz Gajcy reveals the greatest mystery of love as projectedthrough the prism of martyrdom, especially in the filial attachment to the land (mother-country).
