Król zamczyska
Poezja jest wszędzie, w każdej chwili (...)
Badanie mojego kraju pod każdym względem jest wrodzoną mi namiętnością, a widok okolic szczególniejszy ma dla mnie urok, mocniejszy niemal niż znajomości z ludźmi.
Mamy dziś święto sąsiada!
Tak nam kalendarz powiada.
By nie zostać niegrzeczniejszym
Od samego kalendarza
I długami serca dłużnym,
A więc przy święcie dzisiejszym
Piję zdrowie gospodarza,
A piję kielichem próżnym.
Jeśli próżny, mojaż wina?
Mój kraj pustka i ruina,
Bo mój kraj to serca wasze:
Skądże wam napełnię czaszę?
Czyż z mej duszy? na to zdrowie
Nikt mi pewno nie odpowie.

About the author
Seweryn Goszczyński
29 books1 followerSeweryn Goszczyński (1801-1876) was a Polish Romantic prose writer and poet.
Goszczyński did not receive a thorough education because his parents were not well off. He studied with breaks in different schools, the Basilian School in Uman being the one where he stayed the longest period of time. At this school he made friends with Zaleski and Grabowski. In 1820 he moved to Warsaw, where he joined the secret Union of Free Polish Brothers. On hearing the news about the outbreak of the insurrection in Greece, in August 1821, he walked to Ukraine in order to get to the fighting rebels via Odessa. Due to the lack of funds he stopped in Ukraine where he remained till 1830, engaging in conspiratorial activities. He frequently changed his lodging as he was being sought by the police. During this period he wrote many patriotic poems, Uczta zemsty, among others. In June 1830 he returned to Warsaw and joined Piotr Wysocki’s conspiracy. He took part in the attack on the Belvedere Palace in November 1830; then he fought (with the rank of captain) in General J. Dwernicki’s corps. He took part in the battles at Stoczk and Nowa Wieś. After the capitulation of Warsaw he crossed the Prussian border together with General Rybiński’s corps. The experiences connected with this fact found their outlet in the poem Wyjście z Polski. He settled in Galicia. He did not give up his social and political activity. The Union of Twenty One was created on his initiative in Lwów in 1832. Around 1835 he established the Polish People’s Society in Kraków. He was the co-founder of the literary group Ziewonia. He hid under false names because the Austrian police were after him (a court in Warsaw had sentenced him by default to capital punishment). His stay at Podhale resulted in his interest in the culture of this region and the introduction of the Tatras into Polish literature. In 1838 he emigrated to France. In Strasbourg he co-edited a satirical magazine "Pszonka", which was ideologically connected with the Polish Democratic Society. Here he met A. Mickiewicz and J. Słowacki. In 1842 he joined the Towiańczycy Circle (he was its secretary). At that time he cut himself off from his previous political activities, and gave up writing for many years. He remained faithful to the Circle till the end of his life. He was badly off, he almost died of starvation during The Paris Commune. In 1872 he came back to his home country thanks to his friends’ help. His countrymen enthusiastically welcomed him and he settled in Lwów. He died four years later, on 25 February 1876. He was buried in the Łyczaków Cemetery in Lwów.

Spodziewałem się zupełnie czegoś innego, a dostałem ciekawy portret „wariata” i podejścia autora do sprawy polskiej - cool

ma bardzo wiele dowcipu, ale dowcipu tak złośliwego, że nieraz można myśleć, czy nie udaje głupiego, aby mógł tym bezpieczniej kąsać

Wiem, że wiele osób nie doceni tej książki przez jej rozwlekłość w opisie natury - do ziewnięcia jest ona idealna, zgoda.
Ale pomiędzy nią, przyrodą, kreowana jest historia szaleństwa i wielkiej, dzikiej i nieprzejednanej miłości. Nie jest to miłość romantyczna w podstawowym tego hasła znaczeniu, ponieważ to lektura romantyczna - do krwi polska.
Jest to też historia stygmatyzacji, czucia i ogromnego smutku oraz rozczarowania rzeczywistością, która mogłaby być inna, o wiele piękniejsza, gdyby człowiek chciał popatrzeć na coś dalej, niż czubek własnego nosa.
Mnie ujęła, duchowo wzruszyła. Po prostu.

Tajemniczy klimat, ale historia ani trochę straszna.

Nie jest to moja ulubiona lektura, ale na pewno bardzo poetycka i z rozbudowanymi opisami, które potrafią oddać ducha ruin oraz klarownie wyrazić myśli romantyzmu.
