“ODE ON A GRECIAN URN” AND “MARMUR-BIAŁY” IN THE CONTEXT OF AESTHETIC VIEWS OF JOHN KEATS AND CYPRIAN KAMIL NORWID.

The main aim of this article is to discuss the poetry of Cyprian Kamil Norwid and John Keats in the comparative perspective. I focused on two poems: Marmur-biały and Ode on a Grecian urn that can be read in the context of aesthetic views of both romantic artists. I am particularly interested in the attitude of the representatives of the second generation of romantic poets to the Greco-Roman tradition. Moreover, I also focus on the reflection of both authors on issues related to art and the place of the author in the creative process.
