Silent Life of Letters. On Interconnections between Language and Nature in the Poetry of R.S. Thomas. The essay sets out to explore R.S. Thomas’ (1913–2000) vision of the problematic relations between the man, the nature and their Creator. In the context of contemporary critique as well as the 20th century, post-husserlian philosophy, the author analyses Thomas’ cosmological poems and represents, on the one hand, the place that both man and God take in the creation and, on the other, the sacramental relationship between the human and the nature. What is important from this perspective is the material existence of both man and nature, which enables mutual infiltration that leads to discovery of imperceptible dimension of materiality, which, in turn, influences both human consciousness and language. This is why the author asks about the role of science in Thomas’ poetry and about the influence that “the machine” has on language and consciousness.

Artykuł zasadza się na interpretacji jednego wiersza Emily Dickinson – nietłumaczonego dotąd na język polski utworu o numerze 1545, zaczynającego się od wersu: The Bible in an antique Volume. Nakreślając biograficzny kontekst, który zaważył na kształcie tego wiersza, autorka pokazuje, jak nauczanie Lutra i Kalwina wpłynęło na wczesne, purytańskie społeczności w Stanach Zjednoczonych oraz rozwijające się wraz z nimi tożsamościowe narracje Amerykanów. Komentując poszczególne wersy utworu, autorka omawia m.in. specyfikę i rolę purytańskiego kaznodziejstwa, wpływ protestantyzmu na postawę i argumenty XIX-wiecznych sufrażystek oraz na purytańską obsesję na punkcie śmierci. Ostatnia część artykułu pokazuje, jak purytańskie dziedzictwo wpłynęło na wizjonerski idiom nowatorskiej poezji Emily Dickinson.

The article is based on an interpretation of a single poem by Emily Dickenson, up to now not translated into the Polish; this is poem no. 1545 starting with the verse: The Bible is an Antique Volume. By sketching the biographical context, which affected the shape of the poem in question, the author demonstrated how the teachings of Luther and Calvin impacted Puritan communities in the United States and the developing parallel identity narrations of the Americans. In her comments on particular verses of the poem the author discussed, i.a. the specificity and role of Puritan preaching, the influence of Protestantism on the attitudes and arguments of nineteenth-century suffragettes, and the Puritan obsession with death. The last part of the article indicates the way in which Puritan legacy affected the visionary idiom of the pioneering poetry of Emily Dickinson.
