The author analyses K.K. Baczyński’s poem Rorate coeli and points out the archetypal texts of this poetic prayer. The trail leads fi rst of all to a well-known Advent song Niebiosa, rosę spuszczajcie nam z góry [Drop down, ye heavens] and then to its original, i.e. the Latin medieval song Rorate, coeli, desuper. The ultimate source of the Advent motif turns out to be the Old Testament Book of Isaiah.

Time and space constitute basic structural elements of the work of literature and define scope of its composition. In Joanne K. Rowling’s series they refer mainly to the fantasy genre which mostly demonstrates itself by duality of the presented world, in two types of time – cyclical and linear and in showing decisive moment for that world. Harry Potter story also follows the same patterns, so characteristic for Entwicklungsroman, school story or even RPG game. Time and space issue of the discussed work can be viewed in three aspects: narration, presented world and references. Characteristic feature presented here is enlivening of the space-time relations through usage of elliptical structures, frequent changes of perspective and sometimes also through simultaneity of the story. Time and space components in the presented world are subjects to multiple metamorphoses which refer to magic as specific, immanent dimension of reality; whereas vicissitude recalls classical space-time themes like road and labyrinth. Consonance with reality manifests itself both in the realistic „Anglo-Saxon” pattern of the „Potterverse” and in direct references – to Nicolas Flamel, alchemist from Pontoise for example. Time and space management constitutes one of the major elements of literary expression in this novel cycle, extremely popular around the world.

The study is devoted to the problems connected with the “gipsy theme” in Polish literature and culture at the turn of 19th and 20th c. and in the interwar period. It presents the results of research in the presence of Russian gipsy romance in Polish popular culture as well as shows its reception in Polish literary and musical criticism. The author also ponders over the phenomenon of connection between gipsy singing and Russian culture, over the Russian-gipsy emotionality fascination recorded in the romance and, in consequence, over Polish Russophobia. The present study deals also with the role and function of the gipsy themes present in Polish interwar poetry (K. Wierzynski, K. I. Galczynski, J. Tuwim, J. Czechowicz, and others). It analyses the literary pictures of a Gipsy, Romany women, the motifs of gipsy singing, references to gipsy nomadism, and gipsy magic.
