Dotknąć światła… O dotyku w pierwszym tomie poetyckim Zbigniewa Herberta
Touching the Light… On the Touch in Zbigniew Herbert’s First Volume of Poetry

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this research is to show the transition from sense of sight to the sense of touch, which happens in the first Zbigniew Herbert’s poetic volume titled String of light, to show the complexity of their connection, the intensity of the haptic experience and it’s poetical functions. By using the archeology of terms (Greek, Hebrew, Latin) – which shows connections between studied issues and the texts which underlie the European culture – outlining the philosophical context and the modern cultural anthropology’s view, the multidimensionality of Herbert’s work is outlined and his innovative effort to find the basis for existence in reality marked by disintegration of human and experience is shown.
