abstract in English: |
In literature, and fi rst of all in the poetry of the Young Poland, the motifs of
the refl ection in the water or the mirror, shadows, multiplications and repetitions
have a key signifi cance. In the poetry of the two equally aged poets, but dissimilar
from each other - Leopold Staff and Bolesław Leśmian, these images become
an occasion to refl ect upon the truth and falsity, identity and non-identity, finally creation and art. In the "reflection" poems Leśmian and Staff deal with the
problem of subjectivity signifi cant for the whole modernism, as it is done in the
French poetry by Valery and Mallarmé, in English - Yeats, and German - George
and later Rilke. The Narcissus of the Young Poland or not rarely she-Narcissus, similarly to
the one from the famous André Gide’s Treatise of the Narcissus, busy contemplating
his own reflection he freezes in timeless eternal "now" and - contrary to the
myth - loses the awareness of the border between "I" and "non-I". However, the
most important moment is, when, in the works from 1910-1914, the modernist
Narcissus does not recognize himself in the reflection, or, when he cannot see his
reflection. "Refl ections have disappeared..." - we read in the poem "The prisoner of
mirrors" written by Staff, which is of great importance to scholars today. And in
Prologue by Leśmian a mirror experiment leads to the creation of a manless reflection
tunnel, which one can enter only after death.
Tracing of the changes, to which the motif was subject in the years 1890-1918, allows understanding of many issues of anthropology and aesthetics of the 20th century. |
