  Norwid, Cyprian K.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Of all Polish writers, Cyprian Norwid (1821-1883) was perhaps the least understood in his lifetime.
Norwid, however, had an abiding faith in the quality of his work and often wrote that posterity would discover and appreciate him.
In spite of his difficult style, Norwid is rated by some critics as one of the most important influences in Polish literature today.

Cyprian Kamil Norwid, now generally considered the best Polish poet of the second half of the nineteenth century, was born in 1821.
Like Norwid, Hopkins was not a poet dedicated to singing songs to while the time away; rather, to use Norwid's phrase, he kept writing about what he was pained by ("ja to co pisze boleje"), concerned not with poetical padding but with the truthfulness of experience.

 Selected Poems by Cyprian Kamil Norwid: SR, JANUARY 2005
Norwid’s “Their Strength” (“Siła ich”) illustrates a few strengths and weaknesses in Czerniawski’s work as well as certain problems which Norwid’s poetry presents to a translator.
Though Czerniawski maintains Norwid’s idiosyncratic punctuation, his compulsion to duplicate the formal structure of an epigram-even though he ends up substituting couplets (AABB) for Norwid’s original ABAB rhyme-results in distortion of meaning.
English speakers might benefit from a footnote alerting them to Norwid’s unusual diction as well as providing relevant background information about censorship and political oppression which Poles were subjected to by their German and Russian occupiers in the nineteenth century-and prophetically in the twentieth.

During the Nazi occupation, Norwid's thoughts reinforced our hope in God, and in the period of the unjust and contemptuous dealings of the Communist system, he helped us persevere along with the truth, given to us as a duty to be lived with dignity.
Norwid's poetry was born from the travail of his difficult life.
Norwid's scientia crucis enabled him to evaluate men according to whether they knew how to suffer with the Saviour who "is and was and will be the root of all truth" (Letter to M. Trebicka, May 1884, VIII, 213).

 Longing for nobility | By genre | Guardian Unlimited Books
It is equally rare, in the English-speaking world, to come across a work of translation that is a labour of love, a painstakingly crafted instrument that resonates with the melody and the mystery of the original, rather than a factory-made music box.
It is almost the rule for the visionary to live and die in the full darkness of fame, with much the same obscurity that distinguishes their displaced sensibility from those of their contemporaries, however brilliantly gifted.
Here Norwid's poetry attains a grandeur that, like Chopin's music, is not achieved by deploying a hundred-strong orchestra equipped with kettle-drums, but through the use of certain cross-border harmonies that make the listener proud to be a native of Europe and a product of her culture:

 The Power of Sound
Norwid is widely recognized as the master of sound, and sound is one of the tools he uses to influence the imagery of his readers.
Norwid achieves the effect due to his outstanding skill of using such means of artistic expression as rhythm, intonation, or tonal features of vowels to depict the atmosphere of the great composer's works.
Norwid treated graphics as an artistic tool, and double dashes, expanded characters and similar graphic means also carry meaning and are of great importance in his poems.

Since his early 30s, Bogdan Czaykowski writes in his introduction to this book, Norwid "tried for the rest of his life to convince readers that he had something important to say, and that his poems charted a new direction in Polish poetry, as he claimed in his Vade mecum...
"Laconic and elliptical" are the words Czaykowski chooses to describe Norwid when comparing him to Emily Dickinson, his contemporary and, like him, an autodidact and an anachronism.
And so was Norwid himself, a wholly idiosyncratic person, who cultivated idiosyncrasy not because he wanted to, but because it was thrust upon him by his marginalisation.

This week we return to the poetry of the Romantic poet Cyprian Kamil Norwid (see Part One in Nov. 2, 1997 Voice), with a poem that reveals something of the workings of his classical mind.
With the exception of a few special translations of Horace's poetry, Norwid's classical material is personal and unique, inspired by his travels through Italy and Greece.
In this week's poem, Norwid muses upon the decadence of ancient Rome, where citizens took delight in the spectacle of men fighting to the death and the mass slaughter of condemned men and women.

His wish came true and Norwid has become the most avidly read classical writer.
It's difficult to gloss over Norwid's case when writing about contemporary literature, but even more difficult it is to adopt the perspective of the late-coming grandson and forecast what works of contemporary Polish literature are going to survive the test of time.
