The paper treats the reading of a poetic text (Herbert’s Dęby) as an act of opening to what is difficult, inexpressible, yet tiring everyone (including a student) in the simplest examples of everyday existence. It points out the problem of tension (and its consequences) between the urge of being in a familiar world and the feeling of a total and fundamental strangeness of the world, between the desire of gripping the sense in what we experience and everything which denies these attempts. The subject of such reflection may also be the human forms of incompatibility and desperation.
