Summary/Abstract: The editing and commenting on Józef Piłsudski's Wawel Address prove that its phraseology was deeply rooted in Juliusz Słowacki's The Spirit King [Król Duch] . Two more general aspects of the address as an example of the poetic prose can be associated with two major kinds of additional ordering: sound texture (mostly conditioned by parallel syntactic structures) and imagery (in the text’s synchronic order individual poetic images symmetrically form a final overriding image).
