Abstracts

EN

The article is devoted to the motifs of mortality of Sielanki nowe ruskie (New Russia Bucolics) written by J. B. Zimorowic. The landscape of Ruthenian Arcadia is permeated with the vision of death and destruction of the body – the graves of his loved ones (wife, brother and children) are an important element there. The author reconstructs Zimorowic’s attitude to the tombs, and discusses the role of references to the transience and metapoetic motifs in the context of mourning bucolics (to preserve the memory of the dead). According to the author the abundance of mortality motifs in Zimorowic’s poetry is connected to the poet’s biography, his poetic strategy (writing about the beloved Lviv) and the effi ciency in the use of traditional bucolic tradition.
