Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyse and interpret Juliusz Słowacki’s "Godzina myśli" (“An Hour of Thought”) in order to show how its play of memory and imagination is rooted in its intense sensuality. The stress is particularly put on those fragments where one finds totality of senses that make a sort of sensual panorama, synesthesia, and surprisingly important role granted by the poet to smell.
