What is it that I don't understand of C. Miłosz’s "Traktat moralny"?

Streszcz. po ang.

The article is a peculiar ‘record of interpretative failures’ in analysis of Czesław Miłosz’s Traktat moralny [‘The Moral Treaty’]. The author points out to some details of the poem proving extremely hard to interpret, and makes an attempt at explaining them, supporting himself to this end by Miłosz’s own commentaries to the text, which he has found in the poet’s letters to the philosopher Tadeusz Kroński and in his recorded conversations with Renata Gorczyńska, and, with Aleksander Fiut and Andrzej Franaszek. The author’s indication of certain unclear points and instances of contradictoriness in the Treaty’s text offers aspecific incentive for the reader to focus not only on what the text can offer them but also, on what is apparently incomprehensible in it.
