Summary/Abstract: The paper is intended as preparation for a detailed analysis of Zbigniew Herbert’s reflection on ontology and epistemology. An initial assumption is that the poet tries to evoke the sensual dimension of experience in his poetry. The main focus of the analysis is the metaphor of touch that “sees”. It is conceivable that through this metaphor Herbert expresses a connection between touch and sight.
