O obecności Cypriana Norwida we wczesnych tekstach Karola Wojtyły

The paper discusses some affinities between early works of Karol Wojtyła and writings by Cyprian Norwid), focusing on the poetic language and ways of text shaping. The impact of Norwid on the poet-pope concerns, among others: 1. the dictionary, particularly the key-word repertoire; 2. tendency to language experiments, 3. word-formation; 4. the importance of silence; 5. the role of multi-faceted dialogue. Both writers are also deeply connected by the idea that poetic means can lead to discover the Logos, and therefore they are tools of finding the truth.
