Summary/Abstract: The paper is devoted to the literary pieces that in a polemical way refer to Czesław Miłosz’s “Piosenka o porcelanie” (“Song on Porcelain”). Kłosowski analyses here the poems by Stanisław Barańczak, Tadeusz Różewicz, and Zbigniew Herbert, each of whom takes up the motif of porcelain proposed by Miłosz, and who give their own contrasting visions of a man’s life and her/his devotion to material products (Barańczak), post-war poetry (Różewicz), or fragility as an aesthetic category through the prism of which one comprehends lyrical creativity (Herbert). The arbitrary catalogue of intertextual relationships demonstrates profound significance of Miłosz’s poem and the motif of porcelain derived from it in the work of Polish 20th century poets.
