This essay, devoted to Boleslaw Lesmian's literary work, begins with the deliberations about the relationship between literature and philosophy. In case of the poet like Lesmian, this is an important and significant introduction. Firstly, as the author of the essay states, each piece of literary work is at the same time philosophical, as it always answers basic philosophical questions in its deepest meaning. From Lesmian's works, much deeper contents emerge. For that reason, he is widely referred to as the most philosophical Polish poet. His works contain elements that constitute a unique and very coherent concept of the world, also presented in his journalistic texts. Although Lesmian's detailed worldview does not contain any features of an 'official' and straightforward philosophical system, it is clear enough to be referred to as 'Lesmian's philosophy'. By referring to selected poems and essays, the author of this draft analyzes the most essential aspects of Lesmian's literary output in the context of his philosophical views. Metaphysical relations between a human being and the reality, the concept of a 'primitive man', relations between Lesmian's poetry and Bergson's views and 'the philosophy of life', the question of intuition, sensual love and death and the construction of Lesmian's worlds and the beyond, are only a few of all issues raised in the essay. A special character of poet's views is underlined also by the fact that they frequently exceeded the limits of his works, to have a genuine expression in his life. This is why the author does not omit biographical aspects but presents an exceptionally talented poet as a flesh-and-blood person, who apart from many eccentricities, weaknesses, fears and fascinations, succumbed confidently to his own vision of the world.

The article in question introduces into the problems of Zbigniew Bienkowski's artistic creativity. The belief of the artist's crucial role in society and the conviction that poetry should constantly enter the domain of non-poetry which is to focus on the already not described issues of its epoch, was taken over by the author of 'Matters of Imagination' from the experience of the Cracow 'Vanguard'. Bienkowski's aesthetic views, however, have also a reference into long tradition. The poet refers to modernistic conception of the world and the man and - like 'Young Poland' poet - in his attempt to describe the ontic structure of the man, he resorts to the notions of 'ghost' and 'soul' (calling them 'spiritualities', he is fully aware of their stylistic characteristics). Bienkowski's references to Julian Przybos and Boleslaw Lesmian - both poets' literary forerunner - are analyzed as most important intertextual relationships.

Bolesław Lesmian's theory of rhythm, which he expounded in his famous article 'Rhythm as a word view', interestingly corresponds with the conception of the Semiotic by Julia Kristeva. For both the rhythm is the primeval dimension of language, connected with a creative side of the nature from which the man has irretrievably been separated. Lesmian illustrates his theory with the example of one of Maria Konopnicka's poems from her cycle 'From Meadows and Woods'. Following it, the authoress of the paper analyzes the role of rhythm in the literary activity by Konopnicka, who was often disparaged with easy formulas of 'stylization' or 'sensation of peoples' misery'. As a result it seems that in the poems that use the structure of melic folk poetry privileging natural, physiological rhythms, Konopnicka managed to introduce a woman's body, and to retrieve a forgotten mother language.

While making a contribution to the discussion about Lesmian's synchronism this article tries to demonstrate that 'Savagery of Posthumous Habits', the last of his known works, marks a notable expansion and evolution of the poet's imagination. This new departure is most evident in the greater complexity of his characters' psychology, quite distinct from his customary design of the afterlife, and in the infusion of carefully worked out elements of movement and light into his traditionally colourful descriptions. Further evidence comes from an analysis of the plot structure and characterization, especially the construction of character profiles, the characters' speech and ways of self-realization. Apart from the diversification of idiolects Lesmian's last work employs a whole range of theatrical techniques such as scenic presentation, stage directions, props, etc. While retracing the investigation, which functions as the frame of the action, the article examines the reasons and causal sequences of the events depicted in Lesmian's drama.
