Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the issue of memory in the lyric, which in the editions of Juliusz Słowacki’s poems is titled "Do Franciszka Szemiotha" (“To Franciszek Szemioth”), but in his notebook ["Raptularz 1843‒1849"] ([“Diary 1843‒1849”]) begins with the words: ["Nie zapominaj, że kiedyś ubogi…"] ([“Do not forget that once a poor…”]). The analysis of this manuscript is conducted taking into account other texts from the notebook, including the note about Homer’s "Odyssey".
