SONETY KRYMSKIE
Crimean Sonnets were created as a result of a trip, which Mickiewicz made from Odessa near Yalta and other parts of Crimea. Excellent, High mountains going down to the sea, Bezkresne Stepy, Orientalna Architektura – All this was reflected in the cycle 18 songs. Each of them was dedicated to the Crimean landscapes. Akermanian steppes – plains above the Dniester, Storm – Elementary sea, The ruins of the castle in Bałakawa – Architecture departing into the past. Each of the sonnets is characterized by the highest artistic values, It impresses with plasticity, suggestiveness of descriptions and at the same time the ability to build a mood.
Individual songs were connected by Adam Mickiewicz using the construction of their main character. It is a poet, pilgrim and exile, which was forced to leave the homeland. True, The great views of Crimea make a great impression on it. However, they cannot drown out longing for the birthplace, which, despite everything, It still seems more beautiful than the greatest landscapes of the mountains, sea, steppes. Pilgrim was said to be said directly.
The east has repeatedly inspired romantic poets, Not only Mickiewicza, also, for example, Juliusz Słowacki. In the Crimean Sonnets, a travel relationship is not an end in itself, It is not only used to build beautiful poetic images. The situation of the hero of these poems is special. He is certainly a romantic traveler, because he left Odessa of his own will, looking for new experiences, creative stimuli, sources of poetry. But he is also an exile, who would prefer to stay in his homeland, and the latter was closed before him. He is finally a pilgrim, His journey is metaphysical, becomes a search for something more, than just new, sensual impressions.
The tear is still returning between the infatuation of East and the memories.
The hero of the Crimean Sonnets is a romantic poet, A man very susceptible to emotions and organizing both reality, as well as the world of spirit, sensation through poetry. Almost every new picture causes it to remember something lost. Attempts to drown out pain caused by dismissal from the native soil are unsuccessful, New views only arouse admiration for a moment, allow you to forget about family landscapes. Then the suffering of the poet-pylgrim quickly returns. Metaphysical questions about transience and death are back, thoughts turn towards ultimate matters, infinity. To the latter, the poet is managed by nature itself, wild landscapes, and a kind of intermediary on the road to understanding nature, Mirza becomes fused with her, A typical man of the East. Also thanks to him, The journey transforms into a pilgrimage to God, towards the places, where the last resort is tangibly experienced, He convinces the power of God created by God.
In the landscapes of Crimea, the hero still hears "Voice of Lithuania", whose limits were closed before him forever. Nature is invariably seen through the prism of experience, The psyche of the poet-Rosary-Diagnosis-Pylgrzy. This focus in one person of various perspectives brought great artistic and cognitive effects in a series of sonnets of Adam Mickiewicz.
