Classical ekphrasis, represented here by Philostratos' 'Imagines' works thanks to an unusual combination of rationality and highly developed sensuality: method combines with charm to seduce the reader. Rózewicz puts the components together differently, obtaining another genre. One can come closer to it thanks to Freud's school of dream explanation and Walter Benjamin's concept of dialectic image. Rózewicz's images are controlled by negative dialectics. It does not attempt to get back presence, but it tries to regain a thing without losing its loss.
