Summary/Abstract: The article is about the issue not yet examined: how Zygmunt Krasiński’s texts were an inspiration for Juliusz Słowacki. The example of such intertextual relations is the connection between the lyrical fragment in the incipit ["Mnie smutek zabił, mnie gorzkie koleje…"] (["Sadness killed me, the bitter course killed me…"]) which is a part of two poems: "Fantazja konania" (“The Fantasy of Dying”) published after the poet’s death and the edited "Dzień dzisiejszy" (“Today”) with the fragment of "Król-Duch" (“The Spirit King”) where the three motives connected with each other are present: one about the temporary sleep of the character, one about the sleeping kingdom and one about the sleeping knights.
