About the author

Polish poet, dramatist, prosaist, essayist, philosopher, painter and sculptor. An outsider, despite his acquaintance with the famous - Chopin, Mickiewicz, Słowacki and Krasiński, he remained underestimated to be finally appreciated in the XX century. Censorship in partitioned Poland forced him to live in Paris. His work included hundreds of poems, some prose, dramas, sketches, paintings and sculptures. His early unfulfilled love formed his style, full of sensitivity. Since then he was mostly lonely, with the first of two other known romances occurring at age of 47. His main interests were writing style, polish society and morality. He spent all money on works of art and journeys to live in London, Berlin, New York and, mostly, Paris.

[3/10] – (2025) – dywagacje o dupie marynie, serdecznie nie polecam

[Cecyl Abdo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Norwid w eseju, który ma raczej na celu głównie odbicie się od różnych zarzutów, psotawionych mu w "Czarnych kwiatach", prezentuje nowatorski charakter wyrazu, który wyprzedzał epokę romantyzmu. Pisarz wypowiada się w nim nt. tego, jak ważna w literaturze jest cisza, która swoją mocą potrafi przezwyciężyć najgłośniejszy krzyk.
