Wilno w twórczości Romualda Mieczkowskiego
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
The subject of the essay is Romuald Mieczkowski’s picture of Vilnius emerging from poems and short stories that reveal the value of key themes. They are topoi and at the same time they refer to biographical facts. The poet-chronicler exposes the “cordial” memory of trees, houses and stones. It is his way to emphasize “thinking with the heart”, attachment to the place and a loving attitude toward nature. He draws attention to the Vilnius mentality, inherited from the ancestors raised in the tradition of Vilnius, which was the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In the volume Objazdowe kino… Mieczkowski creates his Home-world, he talks about the progressive devastation of the family home and the mythical City, which appears due to his allusions. Vilnius appears here as if emerging from the chronicle of events and it is seen from the perspective of an ordinary inhabitant. Relations with Lithuanian neighbors are good, it is the authorities that treat Poles foully. The editor of the “Znad Wilii” magazine and the curator of Polish culture fights for their “homeland” by deed and word, while the poet perpetuates the myth of the city and mourns the “cemeteries” of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. L’objet de l’essai est une image de Vilnius émargeant des poèmes et des récits de Romuald Mieczkowski qui démontre la valeur des motifs clé. Ces thèmes topos renvoient en même temps aux données concrètes de la biographie. Le poète chroniquer expose la mémoire « cordiale » des arbres, des maisons et des pierres – ainsi, il souligne la « pensée avec son coeur », l’attachement à l’endroit et la relation tendre avec la nature. Il accentue la mentalité de Vilnius, héritée des ancêtres élevés dans la tradition de la capitale du Grand-Duché de Lituanie. Dans le volume Objazdowe kino…, Mieczkowski crée sa Maison – monde, décrit la dévastation de sa maison natale et de la Ville mythique qui apparaît grâce aux allusions. Vilnius vu par un habitant ordinaire émerge de la chronique des événements – les relations avec des voisins lituaniens s’arrangent bien, le pouvoir traite mal les Polonais. Le rédacteur du journal « Znad Wilii » et le conservateur de la culture polonaise se bat pour sa « patrie » par l’action et la parole, le poète préserve le mythe de la Ville et pleure sur les « cimetières » de la Pologne d’autrefois.
