"Wsłuchać się w szum wód głuchy". The rivers of Mickiewicz, the rivers of Miłosz

Abstract

Adam Mickiewicz is for the author of Czeladnik the poet peculiarly important. With his output that is an inexhaustible source of philosophical inspiration Miłosz continually discusses (recently in Traktat teologiczny) and also reveals every now and again intelectual relationship that connect him with that nineteenth century poet. In this article I describe relations between the poetry of Miłosz and the output of Mickiewicz using as an example very significant for the two poets theme of river.
