Once a friend-scientist asked me: "What is meant by the inner life?" I answered: "Read my poetry." He read, and he said: "Now I know."

It is not surprising, then, that much of the great literature written in modern Poland has been politically and patriotically engaged. Yet there is a second current as well, that of...
