Abstract

Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński’s poetry seems to be dominated by the buffo tone. The poet undoubtedly intentionally uses the light tone, the language of ridicule and joke, intellectual irony and surrealistic imaginary. Additionally, he often refers to the tradition of Latin and Roman poetry of the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance. Following this lead, the author of the article reveals the characteristic of „lyricism” in Gałczyński’s poetics, recognizing it as the essential category of a specifically „poetic” relationship between man and the social and natural environment. In historical digressions, the researcher traces the presence of that element in oral Greek, Latin and Provencal poetry, up to written forms of Renaissance verse. Much of the article is devoted to the interpretation of the poem „Wizyta”, which the author regards as an example of the perfect implementation of the principle of lyricism in poetry, and at the same time shows how the poem makes poetry as its own subject. The conclusion of this comparative and structural-performative study of the text, carried out from the smallest elements of the verse form to the unveiling of the fundamental principle of its existence, will be a philosophical reflection on „poetics” as a cognitive and existential category.
