Summary/Abstract: The boundary between an idyllic nature and testament certainly does not divide anachronism from modernity. Both poetic formulas freeze in patterns with similar power, and go beyond their genre constraints with similar enthusiasm. Both idyll and testament are medial in nature – they still fight for something, negotiate conditions, test constraints and scope of actions. The movement derived from a poetic shamelessness, and immodest passion, whether it be concealing (idyll) or revealing the truth (testament)results from opposition to laws and possibilities of improving the world. That is why testament does not have to be considerations of an old man going back to a different epoch in his thoughts while idyll a little goose herd’s chat who is idle to an observer’s delight.Idyllic and testamentary points of view are subject to genological and philosophical tests as characterological states, predilections of imagination and style components in particular parts of the project.The project Idyll/testaments. Selected poems. Testament/idyll. Adopted poems evokes sketches on poetry by Zuzanna Ginczanka, Jan Lechoń, Czesław Miłosz, Piotr Sommer, Jerzy Ficowski, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz and Zbigniew Herbert.
