	Adam Mickiewicz, Poet, Patriot and Prophet
		Likewise, his interest in mysticism and involvement in mystical cults tended to be minimized, especially during the years of Communist rule in Poland when the official line was to shun spirituality of any kind, not to expose the poet to ridicule.
		Given the history of Poland and the long streak of political oppression and subjugation, the need for heroes and the idealization of Mickiewicz as a leader are perfectly understandable.
		He continued to be politically active, however, and in February of 1848, during the Spring of Nations, went to Rome for an audience with the Pope, whom he antagonized.

		As in the horseback diets of Poland, a single opposing vote could put a stop to every thing, so that it only remained to vote by sabre-strokes, so Confederations, recognizing the right of separation, would have no other resort than brute force, for no great nation can allow itself to be killed without defending itself.

		As the events of 1848 unfolded Czartoryski also saw possibilities for the Polish cause in the Hungarian revolutionary movement.
