Przestrzeń Pasji. O lirykach Zygmunta Krasińskiego
The Space of Passion. About Zygmunt Krasiński’s lyrics.

Summary/Abstract: The presented text describes the Passion motives in Z. Krasiński’s lyrics. The lyric work of Z. Krasiński in this aspectual discussion is confronted with Christian tradition recognised as a system generating the ideological shape of the whole literary output of the author of Irydion. The motives of passion were chosen here as the object of a detailed description firstly because their frequency in Krasiński’s work is very high, secondly because the Paschal Mystery the integral part of which is Passion is the centre of a Christian experience. The substantiations of Passion are connected with two images here: the sphere of individual sufferings of the lyrical ego or the heroes and the difficult or tragic fate of Polish nation. One of the main subjects of the text presented here is the nation of poetic imagery. A lot of space is devoted to the basic sign of Passion in Krasiński’s output i.e. the cross. The lyrical poems were described in a wider context and put together with other works by Zygmunt Krasiński.
