„JA ZATOPIONY W CIEMNYCH PROMIENIACH ZIEMI”
„I who am immersed in the dark rays of the earth”

Summary/Abstract: The essay includes a reflection on the earthly homeland and its heavenly counterpart put forward in the context of Zbigniew Herbert’s poem “Daedalus and Icarus,” which provided the title of the considerations. The analysis in question refers also to other pieces of Polish poetry (by Cyprian Norwid and Aleksander Wat). The main idea is developed against the background of the opposition between the light and the darkness which surfaces in all the poems taken into account.
