„Ogień i piasek” — o ostatnim okresie życia i twórczości Norwida na podstawie elegii „Na zgon Poezji”

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyse one of the leastknown works of the poet — the elegy “Na zgon Poezji”. This is the one of the last three Norwid’s works, and, moreover, the first which is opening the last period of Promethidion’s author writings. Abandoned, condemned to poverty and obscurity poet is experiencing a period of deep collapse, which, however, doesn’t permit him to stay silent. By reference to Norwid’s works, correspondence and biography the author of this paper will try to reconstruct the least known phase of his life – the residence in the shelter of St. Casimir in Ivry.
