Bóg chrześcijaństwa w liryce modlitewnej J. Słowackiego
Dziubiński, Marian (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 1978)
The aim of the article is to present the conception of God and the artistic method of building the poetical image of God in the lyric prayer poetry of Słowacki, the great Polish Romantic poet. The author demonstrates that Slowacki’s lyric prayers contain certain elements of prayer in the proper sense. In the poems God is somebody who is acknowledged and at least shown respect. The analysis of the titles and the expressions referring to God and the Persons of the Trinity reveals the use of tradition on the one hand, and the poet’s originality in shaping the poetical vision on the other. The God of Slowacki’s lyric poetry is the Creator of the spirit and of all nature, the father of man, the God of the existential fact, who is present in the dramatic prayer dialogue. He is also the God of the trials and experiences of the chosen (Polish) nation; the messianic theme in Slowacki’s lyric poetry also manifests itself in acknowledging the role of a chosen individual whom God calls and whose mission He justifies. The image of God in Slowacki’s lyric prayer poetry is basically Christian. That poetry is an expression of Slowacki’s attempts to work out the image that would be as complete and comprehensive as possible but at the same time original, his own.
