Odsłony zmęczenia i spoczynku. „Nocna pieśń wędrowca” Johanna Wolfganga Goethego, Michaiła Lermontowa i Jarosława Marka Rymkiewicza
Journal Title: Wiek XIX. Rocznik Towarzystwa Literackiego im. Adama Mickiewicza - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The subject of the article is a comparative analysis of the poems by Johann Wolfgang Goethe (Wanderer’s Nightsong [Wandrers Nachtlied], Another One [Ein Gleiches]), Mikhail Lermontov (From Goethe [Из Гёте]) and Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz (Wanderer’s Nightsong [Nocna pieśń wędrowca]). The pieces form a series of texts of which the last one (Wanderer’s Nightsong) refers directly to Lermontov’s poem, and which in turn refers to Goethe’s Another One, and is a continuation or a different version of Wanderer’s Nightsong. In all the texts the “fatigue – rest” relationship is present. In Goethe’s Wanderer’s Nightsong it is connected with the desire for serenity, a calming of the heart wearied by life’s struggles. The second poem, Another One, is less clear, and expands the perspective to all of creation in need of rest. Lermontov’s piece narrows the perspective to man and death being the condition for respite. The comparison shows that this is the reason why Rymkiewicz refers to this text, rather than directly to Goethe. However, it makes the statement of Lermontov’s poem more profound, moving everything from the external (physical) space to the inner (dream-like) dimension.
