Abstract

The subject of the examination here is a late period of Milosz’s literary output (volumes: „Druga przestrzen” and „Wiersze ostatnie”). While discussing the motif of eyes, blindness and light the author brings up a general and serious problem of the poet’s vision in his final poems: he uses this theme in existential and metaphysical contexts.
