Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to interpret the sacred dimension of Wincenty Korab-Brzozowski’s poetry.It was considered important to demonstrate that Brzozowski’s writing is constituted in the area of researchon the sacred, presenting a syncretic dimension of religiosity, reconciling various orders. In addition topaying attention to the peculiarly shaped lyrical subject (his emotional transformations in contact witha reality that is not always understandable), symbolism derived from various religious systems was alsoexamined. Against this background, the sphere of mystical phenomena is presented organizing the orderof nature and the world of culture, which is a source of hierophany for the seeker.
