In the prose Dukla by Andrzej Stasiuk, in the first part of the novel Eine kleine by Artur Daniel Liskowacki and three collections of poems (Kruszywo, Locja and Dzikie lilie) by Andrzej Niewiadomski verbal depictions of peripherality appear. I name them post- -Romantic cartograms, emphasizing in this way their authors’ intention to record interspatial epiphany, which takes place on various interfaces and between various levels and objects. This is both physical territory (Beskid town in case of Stasiuk, Liskowacki’s S – Szczecin/Stettin and eastern and south-eastern province of Poland), as well as the areas arising between words and images used in poetry and prose. The point here is about a status of decentralized artist/wanderer escaping from the limits of uniform self and simultaneously existing on several planes. In this interpretation I use remarks of Charles Taylor, who in Sources of the Self investigated the Romantic epiphany of being in art of the second half of the 19th century and in the 20th century. I place the literary explorations of ambiguous peripherality in the vision of post-Romantic era and epiphany of modernism, at the same time indicating special features of every analyzed conception. It seems that peripheral characters in works of Liskowacki, Niewiadomski and Stasiuk show tendencies to grow dynamically and vanish as well. One may discern there allegories, as understood by Benjamin, who underlined tireless readiness of the „amorphous onenesses” to act as allegories which preserve „the image of beauty on the last day”.

In this paper I undertake the analysis and interpretation of the poems and other statements of two romantic poets – Zygmunt Krasiński and Juliusz Słowacki. I lean primarily on the several lyrics of the first of them, created in the late 30s and early 40s of the nineteenth century, as well as on the statement from literary criticism – "Kilka słów o Juliuszu Słowackim". In the case of the second of the authors I am mostly interested in his mystical poetry, written in the years 1842-1849, but I also recall his poems: "Godzina myśli" and "Beniowski". Selected works of both authors are considered as examples of the poetic statement, in which a huge role is played by widely understood visuality (or more broadly – sensuality) and optics. An important context of my inquiries is placed in the essay by Maurice Merleau-Ponty devoted to the relationship of the eye and the mind in painting. Visuality in Krasiński’s poems is a useful tool to express feelings, past and expected experiences, and extraterrestrial, eternal fulfillments. Metaoptic poet reflections provide material for the construction of images, which are equally effects of looking and results of creative efforts. Słowacki’s epiphanic-mystical experience of the years 1842-1844, recognized by the poet as revelations, brought about the need to look beyond the boundaries of the physical world. Spiritualist radicalism of his late works contribute to the intensification and metaphorical transformations of the sense of sight. The eye and the mind can be found here in the mutual entanglement, acting at the same time as one of the main vehicles of poetry and the poet epistemological effort. My conclusion is the finding that the visual-optical themes in the poetry of both authors are effects of extremely careful acts of seeing, and also bring in-depth analysis of the work of the sense of sight (both bodily and internal).
