Quotes

  • And I played... And I feel even sadder.
  • Bad, bad always and everywhere.This black thread is spinning: She is behind me, in front of me and next to me,She in every breathShe in every smileShe in tears, in prayer and in hymns...
  • For the country dear where but a crumb of breadUp from the ground with reverence we heave,Adoring thus the Boon by Heaven spread…O Lord I grieve…
  • Hell is merely the impossibility of love.
  • I want the Czarnolas thing!
  • The stones groaned silently. The ideal has hit the pavement.

Encyclopedic overview

Cyprian Kamil Norwid ( Polish pronunciation: [ˈt͡sɨprjan ˈnɔrvit]; 24 September 1821 – 23 May 1883) was a Polish poet, dramatist, painter, sculptor, and philosopher. He is now considered one of the four most important Polish Romantic poets, though scholars still debate whether he is more aptly described as a late romantic or an early modernist.

Norwid led a tragic, often poverty-stricken life. He experienced mounting health problems, unrequited love, harsh critical reviews, and increasing social isolation. For most of his life he lived abroad, having left Polish lands in his twenties. Having briefly travelled across Western Europe in his youth, and briefly travelling to the United States, where he worked as an illustrator, he lived chiefly in Paris, where he eventually died.
