Pragnienie szmaragdów. Pokusa precjozów w poezji Marii Pawlikowskiej-Jasnorzewskiej
Desire of Emeralds. The Temptation of Jewels in Poetry of Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska

Summary/Abstract: In the analyses and interpretations of selected poems by Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska, the author explores several dimensions of her work: its intermedial aspect in the correspondence between poetry and jewelry art, a fascination with nature, and an uncharacteristic, even surprising, social reflection articulated in the poem Emeralds. The motif of alluring jewels, which serves as the focal point of the proposed interpretations, functions not only as a distinctive ornamental element in her poetry but also establishes the cosmological and ontological foundations of the poetic world and influences the ethical dimension of her lyricism (the phenomenon of dirty stones).
