Things and Compassion. Zbigniew Herbert's Elegy for the Departure of PenInk and Lamp Within the Twentieth-Century Elegy on the Example of Rainer Maria Rilke's Duinesian Elegies

Summary/Abstract: This paper concerns the relation between twentieth-century model of anelegy (analyzed on the example of Rainer Maria Rilke’s works) and ZbigniewHerbert’s Elegy for the Departure of Pen Ink and Lamp. Similarities anddifferences between them show the direction of the genre’s evolution — aprocess of rejecting formal characteristics for a specific position of thesubjectivity, searching for an existential complementarity. In effect the“elegiac” seems to be not a consequence of formal organization, but of thedialectics. Thus, the category could be applied in a wider sense than heretofore.
