The core of the article is the comparative analysis and interpretation of two poems dedicated to St. Brother Albert: „Brother Albert’s Monastery” by Tadeusz Kubiak and „Meeting with Brother Albert” by Anna Kamieńska. Author’s thesis leads to the conclusion that Brother Albert as a person is not autonomous theme in Kamieńska and Kubiak work - on a different level of understanding poets treat Brother Albert’s figure more like a pretext to unveil their own reflections and artistic thoughts.

W artykule dokonano porównawczej analizy i interpretacji dwóch wierszy poświęconych Bratu Albertowi. Są to kolejno: Tadeusza Kubiaka Klasztor Brata Alberta oraz Anny Kamieńskiej Spotkanie z Bratem Albertem. W konkluzji autor doszedł do wniosku, że dla obojga poetów – choć w różny sposób i w różnym stopniu - postać Brata Alberta nie stanowi jednak autonomicznego tematu i problemu twórczości, ale jest raczej traktowana jako pretekst dla ich własnych przemyśleń i poszukiwań artystycznych.
The article provides an interpretation of Tadeusz Kubiak’s Świat z góry na dół w Pieczewskiej Ławrze w Kijowie [The World Upside Down in Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv]. The poem presents a description of Lavra’s interior, which makes a closed and harmonious entity, “the world”. This entity is gradational rather, than homogeneous. The direction of gradation is indicated in the title and finds its embodiment on the level of style and motif. The space depicted can be divided onto two separate parts: the sacred and the profane, the boundaries of which are defined by “the wall.”
