Stefan Grabiński i kolej – szkic z pogranicza literaturoznawstwa i kolejnictwa

Author(s): Michał Nikodem / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In my paper, I investigate Stefan Grabiński’s fascination on a railway. I analyse biographical materials, stories of his friends and writer’s own words to restore, in chronological order, his contacts with the railway. I use historical materials to supplement my research with concrete information about railway stations, trains and railway lines that were used by Grabiński. This historical reconstruction opens new perspective on the genesis of tome The Motion Demon and brings new interpretational opportunities. I also point out these fields of Grabiński biography which need to be precisely investigated in further historical researches.

„Naturalny nadmiar luster”. Wenecja w opowiadaniach Stefana Grabińskiego i Edgara Allana Poego

Author(s): Małgorzata Ślarzyńska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article focuses on Venice represented in two tales: Stefan Grabiński’s Namiętność (L’appassionata). Opowieść wenecka and Edgar Allan Poe’s The Assignation. Although there are some similarities in the function of the motive of Venice in these texts, both authors adopt different strategies in introducing and using the motive, especially when it comes to the linguistic layer of the tales. Grabiński incorporates numerous foreign wordsin his story, making its language another mirror of Italian reality. Poe’s language is far more flat and univocal in the depiction of Venice. However, in his tale, as well as in the one written by Grabiński, of an utmost importance is the construction of protagonists – vampiric and full of contrast – which corresponds with the characteristics of the image of Venice.

Żywioł ziemi w poezji Władysława Sebyły

Author(s): Teresa Wilkoń / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Władysław Sebyła is creator of a “dark”, orphic movement, man with highly original imagination. Catastrophic motifs come across his expressive yet organized poetry.Visions of the imminent destruction of the world are combined with pessimistic images of the fearful reality. There comes a poet, breaking aestheticism of both Cracow Avant‑gardeand Skamander into the realm of ugliness, ahead of turpism poets of the “generation of 1956”. He desacralizes nature in his descriptions of nature’s elements, taking away the beauty of nature belonging to the main themes of Polish poetry and prose since Mickiewicz’s time.Władysław Sebyła was patronized by “the good God of details” – as Rilke said – buta certain fascination with details, so evident in the descriptions of the element of Earth(poem Młyny. Sonata nieludzka), stemmed from gloomy associations, dream visionsand some obsessions, often presented in the flash of the sun and lunar light.

Metafizyczna podszewka rzeczywistości. O symbolice wody w wierszach Władysława Sebyły

Author(s): Anna Szóstak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article constitutes an attempt at identifying the motif of water in WładysławSebyła’s oeuvre and unraveling its symbolic connotations. A closer analysis of Sebyła’spoetry reveals a poetic view of reality whose signature and constitutive feature is the Baumanian idea of fluidity, inconstancy and changeability, which reflects the uncertainty of fate and the human condition both in mundane and eschatological perspectives. Water, found in various shapes and forms, both in liquid and solid state, evokes the metaphysics of life in Sebyła’s poetry at the same time as it directs the reader towards the inconceivable and the unnamable, to the Mystery hidden under the surface of things. Interestingly enough, the motif and its use by the poet do not serve exclusively to express only the catastrophic stance, but also to affirm life and remind the reader of the concept of apokatastasis – the belief in rebirth and the freeing power and the sense of people’s sacrifices.

„Muzyka nocy tej”. Komentarz do wybranych wątków muzycznych w poezji Władysława Sebyły i diarystyce Sabiny Sebyłowej

Author(s): Bartosz Małczyński / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article is devoted to the relationship between the Sebyła family and music. The text touches upon issues such as the value of music in their everyday life and the presence of various aspects of music in the writings of Sabina and Władysław, dating back primarily to the 1920s and 1930s, but including also the times of the German-Soviet occupation. The source material for these musings on the topic can be found in the poetry of Władysław Sebyła, particularly his Song of the Rat Catcher, as well as his wife’s biographical writings, which serve at the same time as an excellent source of insight into the history of the epoch. These issues are situated within the context of axiology, which has been recently approached by, among others, Pascal Quignard and Zbigniew Herbert, in order to formulate questions regarding the “inhuman” face of music, which emerges in times of social catastrophe.

Muzyczność poezji Władysława Sebyły

Author(s): Milena Osiurak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article concentrates upon both theoretical and practical research on the mutual influence between literature and music in Władysław Sebyła’s poetry. The way in which the musicality of the pieces influences and co-creates the catastrophic vision of the world constitutes one of the marks of originality in Sebyła’s poetry. Sebyła, who was not only a poet, but also a musician – he played the piano and the violin – was an incredibly gifted artist whose unique sensibility allowed him to create works which seemed to oscillate between literature and music. This phenomenon could be called, according to Andrzej Hejmej, the musicality of poetry. It manifests in three basic spheres, identified by The Musicality of a Literary Work. Musicality of Sebyła’s poetry should be understood, then, as a transference between the arts, manifesting in the thematizing of music, the use of music terminology and forms, the shaping of language in the poems to underline the similarities between a lyrical and a musical piece (orchestration, particular phonaesthetics, the choice of meter and rhythm).

Zwierzęta Sebyły

Author(s): Anna Węgrzyniak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The object of analysis here is the imaging which uses the motifs of animals, typical of Sebyła’s “dark imagination”. The author of this article associates the presence of the animals with the space of childhood (the water of a pond, the moon, a mill, muddy darkness). In this lyrical poetry the motifs of animals function as metaphors, allegories, and symbols, while also referring to specific observations. The reader of Sebyła’s poetry can see and hear a horse or a rat, because the musical memory of the poet stores the voices remembered from childhood. The sensitive imagination of the poet, a bard who thinks through images, is the tremendous value of this poetry.

Od hipiki do hippomancji. Konie Sebyły

Author(s): Beata Mytych-Forajter / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The following article results from the reading of Sebyła’s poems which touch upon the subject of horses or motifs and imageries which refer to that particular sphere. At the same time, the article attempts to transcend the parabolic interpretation in order to revisit and reinterpret the presence of horses in Sebyła’s poetry, including both information regarding the animals themselves as well as their general perception in the public sphere (war, social life, sport). The recurring image of blind horses seems to strangely complement the images of blind people, pointing to the poignancy and importance of metaphors drawn from the sphere of Equus caballus, which serves to express Sebyła’s existential fears.

„Robactwo z czarnych łąk”. Na marginesie lektury Młynów. Sonaty nieludzkiej

Author(s): Magdalena Kokoszka / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The author of the following article is interested primarily by the dark facet of Sebyła’s natural vitalism, which she traces alongside her reading of Młyny. Sonata nieludzka (Windmills. The Inhuman Sonata). Over the bogs, marshes, swamps and wetlands, there exists a multiplicity of nighttime animal life which, regardless of the actual species, exhibits a worm-like fertility. This close-up on the rotting, decaying matter exposes the ugliness of ever-present entropy while at the same time uncovering the peculiar post mortem life – the unending “viscous” liminal state, the substance of the world in flux. It seems, then, that the viscous matter discussed in the article, which connects the spheres of water and moist, open soil, had to a large extent dominated the imagination of the poet.

Młyny. Sonata nieludzka. Poemat paraboliczny

Author(s): Anna Szawerna-Dyrszka / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The author of the article, in her reading of Młyny. Sonata nieludzka. (Windmills. The Inhuman Sonata), focuses primarily on the genological aspect. The poem, described bySebyła’s contemporaries as a poem without a peer, fully original and inimitable, appearsto function as the initial link in a new genre paradigm, i.e. the parable poem. The similarities between Sebyła’s poem with works such as Przyjście wroga (The Coming of the Enemy) by Jerzy Zagórski, Bramy arsenału (The Gates of the Arsenal) by Czesław Miłosz, Tropiciel (The Tracker) by Aleksander Rymkiewicz and Pełnia czerwca (The Height of June) by Wacław Iwaniuk points to the similarities between the imaginations of the poets. Windmills. The Inhuman Sonata should be regarded as one of the first and most important poems of the second vanguard (and a model example of this genre variant), as well as an indisputable source of inspiration for the poets of Vilnius and Lublin, belonging to the generation of 1910.

„Nazywaniem chcesz mi szukanie zastąpić?”. O Koncercie egotycznym Władysława Sebyły

Author(s): Ewelina Mika / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article constitutes a commentary on Władysław Sebyła’s Koncert egotyczny (An egotistical Concert. A Meditative Poem). The poet, who assumes a metapoetic stance,expresses the moods as well as the existential and ideological problems of the early 20th century, such as the need for a stable ideology and canon of values. In his attempt to answer the problems of the 20th century man, Sebyła identifies two major cognitive stances: “naming” and “seeking.” “Seeking” becomes for him a certain primary rule of existence and an important element of his creative work at the same time. It could be also understood in terms of a skeptical stance, embodied by the character of Hamlet (and St. Thomas Aquinas).

„…czyś ptakiem, drzewem, czy kamieniem?”. Ojcze nasz Władysława Sebyły jako cykl modlitewnych paradoksów

Author(s): Katarzyna Janus / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article constitutes an attempt at an interpretation of Władysław Sebyła’s poem Ojcze nasz (Our Father). The explication of the text is preceded by references to earlier religious poems written by the poet, which serve to establish a proper context for the reading of the poem. The article postulates that Sebyła can be characterized by his antitheism. This concept, in turn, in the context of explaining the provenance of the creative act, was elaborated in more detail by Tadeusz Zieliński, whose lectures Sebyła attended regularly. The hypothesis concerning the “borrowing” of the idea of antitheism seems to be confirmed by the lexical dimension of the poem as well as frequent allusions to Nietzsche’s philosophy.The article attempts to foreground the discussed poems in the Bible, explain the existence of religious symbolism, identify the poet’s sources of inspiration and point to the dialogue between the poet and tradition. In the conclusion, the author formulates a thesis which postulates that Sebyła’s poetry presented in the article remains deeply religious at its core, even though its religious nature does not seem very obvious at the first glance.

Śląskie antologie młodych po roku 1989

Author(s): Katarzyna Niesporek-Klanowska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The subject of the article is the phenomenon of the Silesian young poets anthologies published after 1989: Inny świt by Marian Kisiel, W swoją stronę by Paweł Majerski and Martwe punkty by Dariusz Pawelec. The poetry collections in question present a different kind of poetry created in Silesia – different meaning, on the one hand departing from manifesting regionalisms in literary works, dissenting from regarding being‑Silesian only in relation to poetic schemes, while on the other still recording this very quality, subconsciously registering it. The authors of the anthologies have been looking for a common sensitivity amongst the individualities of all writers whose works have been collected. Yet, what the published collections were to show above all, was that there is something happening in Silesian poetry, that it is not stuck in a rut, quite to the contrary: it is changing, moving forward, has its storms and revolutions, and that with each new author comes a new poetics.

Grupa Na Dziko w antologiach śląskiej poezji

Author(s): Aleksandra Zasępa / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In her article the author discusses aspects of the functioning of the texts written by the members of the Na Dziko poetry group in the context of the anthology of Silesian poetry. Being an extraordinary phenomenon in the literary lives of the younger generations of Silesians, the formation not only played an important role in the local culture, but also granted an utterly new cultural status to the region (until then mostly perceived as peripheral) and its literary milieu. The texts of the Na Dziko authors were extraordinary because of their artistic qualities, but also because of the common literary principles they voiced. The author undertakes a chronological review of particular anthologies comprised of texts written in Silesia, wherein the pieces by the group members have been included. The consecutive anthologies presenting the poetic accomplishments of the groups’ authors thus symbolically mirror the development of the group itself: from its formative phase, initiated by the anthology Inny świt, through the period of integration and collective activity (W swoją stronę), until the final phase of the formation’s functioning (the anthology Martwe punkty).

Księga miejsc utraconych. O antologii Kraj lat dziecinnych

Author(s): Jolanta Pasterska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article discusses the anthology Kraj lat dziecinnych. The analysis of the volume has been dedicated to two primary issues that can consequently be divided into two groups: the first references the times the collection was created and its purposes, as their editors’ envisioned it as serving to cheer the hearts of the emigrants returning to the lost land of their childhood only in their memories; the second is an analysis of the anthology as the prototype of the genre dynamically growing after World War 2, both in the country and amongst the emigrants. The anthology included nineteen sketches and essays of varying artistic quality, whose authors were writers, politicians and artists rooted in one tradition and culture, whose lives had them face a radically different emigration reality. The landscapes summoned in their memories speak not only of the loss of a particular place geographically, but also of a part of one’s own identity, hence being a testimony to the terrors of history affecting both the lives of individual people and whole nations. This anthology can thus be somewhat considered a book of places lost, but also a version of the common fate of the Polish people.
