The essay deals with Miłosz's early poetic works. The author emphasises the dark tone of his images from this period, suffused with fragments of brutal events and negative associations. She emphasises that the poet's contrastive juxtapositions of beautiful and revolting (or ironical) forms in his descriptions of the world highlights the tragic destruction of harmony in it. This disharmony in young Miłosz's images seems to be a trace of his experience of evil history and times of war, whose memory gives rise to the autobiographical current in his poetry. Simultaneously, besides images dark in tone, the poet also drives towards images which are hymnic in nature, a dream to create in poetry a hymnic praise of beauty, to encapsulate in poetic art the epiphanic entirety of the world's beauty which would erase the earthly stain of transience and obscurity. The author analyses the motif of "the light of the blue ceiling" with its symbolic dimension in Miłosz's poetry and its function as the poet's inspiration and as a revelation by which artistic creation is set in motion.

The article offers a new reading of Antoni Malczewski’s poetic novel Maria as an innovative – in terms of its form – work of early Romanticism. The author argues that the form of a classicist historical narrative was essentially modernized through the exemplary Romantic construction of the narrator (characteristic of syncretic genres in Romanticism) as well as an innovative – as far as Byron’s model is concerned – project of a Romantic hero. Furthermore, Malczewski’s narrative poem is presented by the author as the most accusatory text among the early Romantic new poetry works. Stelmaszczyk claims that it targets the socio-political system of old Poland that violated the balance of social forces and lead to the demise of ethos, which in turn resulted in the destruction of individual heroes, annihilation of moral values, and the emergence of deep pessimism that overshadowed the future fate of people. That pessimism is quoted as the reason behind the negative reception of Malczewski’s narrative poem among his contemporaries.

Czesław Miłosz’s poetry displays two reverberating topics which may be defined as contradictory existence and world experiences. One of those is the admiration for the beauty of the world and awe consequent upon capturing the simultaneous existence of individual entities (Amazement), whilst the other is the topic of the lack of fulfilment, torment, the feeling of lack of authenticity, blame, and shame (This).Miłosz depicted his “I” (represented by various personae), the split between individual consciousness, a strong sense of individuality, distinct from the commune of ordinary people (a strand salient in the pre-war volume Three Winters), at the same time nurturing a feeling of strong bonds with the society.The poet’s self-reflection holds for both topics, while the autobiographic discourse is orientated to the questions about the functions of the poetic language and about the status and sense of poetry, thereby addressing the self-topicality.
