The dimensions of Norwid’s old age in Do Bronisława Z.

Magdalena Karamucka-Marcinkiewicz



Abstract

The article analyses Norwid’s poem Do Bronisława Z. [To Bronisław Z.] in the context of old age, which constitutes one of the key and multidimensional categories in the poet’s reflection, including in his philosophy of the world and history. In this article, the poetic letter Do Bronisława Z. is examined both as a testimony to Norwid’s own old age and as a peculiar testament of the “old poet”, as well as his study addressing, inter alia, the following issues: the old age of the world and culture, the issue of transience and ephemerality, but also of long duration, the tension between old age and youth in relation to various ideological phenomena of the 19th century, a peculiar old age that can be experienced when one is still young.

Keywords:

Do Bronisława Z., old age, old man, old age of the world and culture, long duration, historiosophy, old poet, late creativity, youth, puer-senex, poetic letter, Romanticism, Paris, Ivry, Michelet, Ovid, Horace, Tacitus, Adam Mickiewicz, Tadeusz Różewicz
