Cyprian Norwid

Cyprian Kamil Norwid (* September 24 1821 in Laskowo - Gluchy in Mazovia, † May 23, 1883 in Paris) was a Polish poet. He is one of the most important poets of the country.

Life

Norwid father worked for the noble family of Radziwill, since 1825 Norwid was raised as an orphan by his grandmother. He attended a high school in Warsaw. In 1840 he made his debut with the poem Mój ostatni sonet ( German: My last sonnet ) in the journal Piśmiennictwo Krajowe.

In 1842 visited Norwid Dresden, later Venice and Florence. Since 1844, he lived in Rome, in 1846 he visited Berlin. There he was arrested and expelled from Prussia. Later, he lived in Brussels and again in Rome, where he met Adam Mickiewicz and Zygmunt Krasinski.

In the years 1849-1852 Norwid lived in Paris. He lived in poverty, published literary works in the magazine Goniec polski, learned, among other things Frédéric Chopin and Juliusz Słowacki know. In 1852 he emigrated to the United States, but returned in 1854 to Europe.

Norwid created alongside poems, numerous drawings, etchings, paintings and watercolors, but could not sell anything. He was suffering from tuberculosis, lived in poverty in Paris and spent the last years of life in the oeuvre of St. Casimir in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. He was initially buried in a pauper's grave and later reburied in the Polish Cemetery in Montmorency in the department of Val- d'Oise. A handful of soil from his grave was buried in 2001 with an urn on Wawel Hill in Krakow at the entrance of the " Crypt of the national poet ." There is a small bronze monument in 1993, 110 years after his death, already been built.

A majority of the works Norwid was not discovered until the end of the 19th century and published, mainly due to the poet's Zenon Przesmycki initiative. A complete collection of the works of Juliusz Wiktor Gomulicki Norwid published only in 1968, and again, with critical comments, as Pisma wszystkie in 11 volumes 1971 until 1976.
