	Adam Mickiewicz - LoveToKnow 1911
		The objects of the poem, although evident to many, escaped the Russian censors, and it was suffered to appear, although the very motto, taken from Machiavelli, was significant: "Dovete adunque sapere come sono duo generazioni da combattere.
		There he wrote the third part of his poem Dziady, the subject of which is the religious commemoration of their ancestors practised among Slavonic nations, and Pan Tadeusz, his longest poem, by many considered his masterpiece.
		It is said by Ostrowski to have inspired the brave Emilia Plater, who was the heroine of the rebellion of 1830, and after having fought in the ranks of the insurgents, found a grave in the forests of Lithuania.

	Adam Mickiewicz
		Wending his way to Weimar, he there made the acquaintance of Goethe, who received him cordially, and, pursuing his journey through Germany, he entered Italy by the Splügen, visited Milan, Venice, and Florence, and finally took up his abode at Rome.
		In this village idyll, as Brückner calls it, Mickiewicz gives us a picture of the homes of the Polish magnates, with their somewhat boisterous but very genuine hospitality.
		We see them before us, just as the knell of their nationalism, as Brückner says, seemed to be sounding, and therefore there is something melancholy and dirge-like in the poem in spite of the pretty love story which forms the main incident.

		While at the university he belonged to a society of students, with which he afterwards continued to correspond; he was now most unjustly thrown into prison with the other members, since none of them had ever dreamed of insurrection.
		This poem is unequal; its hero is too Byronesque, and it seems to preach revenge by treachery.
		Later, in 1834, he published his long poem "Pan Tadeusz", a marvellously lively and faithful portrait of Lithuanian life in the first years of the nineteenth century.

		Dziady or "Todtenfeier" in German, "Celebration of Death" in English, is the most famous work by this most renowned of Polish literary figures.
		In overarching concept, it traces the journey of the soul from a life of struggle and triumph through a questioning of life's true meaning, to an exultant realization that this life is only a prelude to a life everlasting, the resurrection into God-given life-eternal in heaven.
		The music of this "tone poem", as Mahler described it is by turns powerful and gentle, disturbing and comforting, triumphal and prophetic, in short, all that is the life of man on this mortal earth.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Polish Literature
		Hitherto the prevailing tone in Mickiewicz's poems had been purely literary and artistic; but he was exiled to Russia, and wrote there his celebrated "Sonnets" and his "Wallenrod".
		Poetry was the only fitting outlet for the emotions which then stirred the spirit of the nation; poetry, therefore, played a part in the life of the people greater, perhaps, than has ever been the case elsewhere.
		With them the idea of Poland as God's chosen nation, the martyr among nations largely, prevails and is strongly emphasized in the "Dziady" of Mickiewicz, though earlier poets were not without some traces of this doctrine.

		Sluckij's late twentieth-century vocabulary (kooperativnaja kvartira, Xeminguej) is in accord with the use of prosaic words such as xalat in the poems of the Pushkin Pleiad (Raich, Polevoj, and others objected specifically to the use of xalat).
		Moreover, while it is highly probable that Mickiewicz had some knowledge of Kabbalah, due in part to alleged censorship of the poet's biography (not least of all by his son and most influential biographer, Wladislaw Mickiewicz), it is not possible to "prove" (or disprove) his acquaintance with any particular kabbalistic source.
		Similarities between the roles of Jacob in the Zohar and Konrad in Dziady can be seen clearly in at least three areas: the nature of Konrad's mystic journey, the nature of his sin, and the nature of his mission.

	Mickiewicz, Adam Criticism and Essays
		The intensity of his nationalism and his desire for the liberation of Poland are reflected in such works as Dziady (1832; Forefather's Eve) and Pan Tadeusz (1834; Master Thaddeus), a novel-length poem.
		The poem's language and structure, as well as the gravity and significance of its subject matter to the Polish people, have earned Pan Tadeusz acclaim as a national treasure.
		Furthermore, McQuillen believes that it is this harmonistic relationship between the lyric and epic aspects of the poem that make it deserving of the honor of being called Poland's national literary achievement.

	Dziady
		What was to exercise the Russian censors particularly, however, was the "Digression", a series of long poems following the drama which depicted despotism in St. Petersburg in all its horror.
		The Tsarist censorship's repression of Mickiewicz's works in earnest dates from the publication of Part III (a fact which was kept secret for several weeks to mislead Russian spies in Paris).
		Although the Russians had been alerted to the subversive nature of his earlier narrative poem, Konrad Wallenrod (1828 & 1829, St Petersburg), it was the open attack on autocracy which made Part III unpublishable in Russia or the Kingdom of Poland.

	Adam Mickiewicz, Poet, Patriot and Prophet
		This fascination is reflected in his play Dziady (The Forefathers Eve) parts II and IV, and in his poetic tale Grażyna.
		Part III of Dziady includes his famous prophetic "Great Improvisation" in which Gustaw, the central hero of the other parts of the play, who until then is primarily a lover, is transformed into Konrad, the patriot and the seer.
		Mickiewicz's lyrical poems written in Lausanne also resonate in the minds of many Poles, and so do other famous poems like Do matki Polki (To a Polish Mother) in which he sarcastically suggests to Polish mothers that they equip their children with chains, rather than toys, so the children get early preparation for political oppression.

	Polish Music Journal 2. 1-2. (1999). Dorota Zakrzewska: Mickiewicz's "Ballady" and Chopin's Ballades
		This poem by Adam Mickiewicz expresses intense and disturbing emotions—alienation, powerlessness, and morbid anxiety— that may be associated with the ideology of the Polish emigration in Paris in the 1830s.
		This pre-destined nature of the narratives in the Ballady does not preclude action and dialogue within each of the poems, but rather it is related to the final outcome of the plot; it is not that the protagonists cannot act, but that the results of their actions are already decided and known to the Narrator.
		Mickiewicz's poems are not generally known to English speaking readers and, as poems, they are closely related to the original language; therefore, I decided to refer to these works as Ballady.

	CHAPTER IX
		Already in his early and very popular poem entitled "To the Polish Mother" (Do matki Polki) Mickiewicz proposed that the rearing of Polish children be shaped from the cradle by the thought of their future martyrdom.
		It was through the figures of romantic literary heroes that Poles conceived their most recent history: not heroes of antiquity, but participants of the last uprising, popularized in romantic poems, became their models.
		In these poems there appeared, as if in spite of the principal idea of Romanticism, elements of noble teaching, propagating patterns of life, or rather patterns of dying.
