Such depths … In the Ocean such depths there are 1857
Give me a blue ribbon … Give me a blue ribbon – I will hand it back The shadow will change when you wave, God’s past rewards Translated by Adam Czerniawski Cyprian Norwid, born in 1821 near Warsaw, is one of the most innovative and idiosyncratic figures in Polish literature. His unique poetry is now recognized as among Poland’s finest. Adam Czerniawski’s selection from all phases of the poet’s work beautifully recreate the work of a poet described by Jerzy Peterkiewicz as a great innovator in Polish poetry and a profoundly original sensibility. This second edition adds a translation of the first poem of the Vade-mecum cycle (‘Hands clapping – now swollen’) and an additiional preface by Adam Czerniawski. |
