Asnyk╎s Notebook of Rhymes
ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS Folia Litteraria Polonica 4(55) 2019 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1505-9057.55.02 Tadeusz Budrewicz* https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4557-7260 Asnyk’s notebook of rhymes Usage of the notebook In the Jagiellonian Library in Krakow, among Adam Asnyk’s preserved documents, under the reference number 7185 I, is the poet’s notebook entitled “with sets of words which rhyme.”1 Maria Szypowska included a photograph of a fragment of a page from it in her book entitled Asnyk znany i nieznany2. It is impossible to define when the note- book was created. At the end of the notebook, the poet wrote “21 January” (sh. 57) and “Thursday, 7 December” with a note “I gave for charcoals 1 PLN” (sh. 57). The mana- gerial nature of the note does not help in establishing its chronology. Neither does the note on sheet 56, where the poet included an “upside down” stanza of a poem, as it was most probably an attempt at a work he eventually abandoned. Some chronology may be defined through the fact that in the record of words which rhymed, Asnyk wrote: * Professor, Pedagogical University of Cracow, Chair of Polish Literature of the 20th Century, ul. Podchorążych 2, 30-084 Krakow, [email protected] 1 Jagiellonian Library, manuscript, ref no. 7185 I, inventory no. 16261: “Adam Asnyk. Adam Asnyk’s notebook with sets of words which rhyme. Second half of the 19th c., paper, 12.5 x 6.5 cm, sh. /IV/ 56 (sh. 10 missing). Single-sidedly inscribed sheets: 2.” Consecutive segments consisting of several words in the notebook begin in capital letters, words after the first word are written in lower case. -

The Baltic city has concentric, multiple identities as well as a fundamental strategic meaning. Its geographical position makes its history an entangled one: the city swung back and forth Polish and German/Prussian control over the centuries. Napoleon called Gdańsk «the key to everything». The territories surrounding Gdańsk were at the core of the Polish and German disputes in 1920- 1939. The Nazi invasion of Poland, which initiated the Sec- ond World War, started with the Battle of Westerplatte, in Gdańsk. -

When Sweden invaded Poland, in June 1655, it went to war with an army which reflected not only the state’s military and cultural strengths but also its fiscal weaknesses. During 1655 the Swedes won great successes in Poland and captured most of the country. But a series of military decisions transformed the Swedish army from a concentrated, combined-arms force into a mobile but widely dispersed force. -

As a gen- eral rule, they are not led to an opinion by the verdict of any other nation. Of recent years, particularly, their popular verdicts have been based upon their own independent judg- ment, and some of these verdicts have afterwards been accepted by the whole world. They were the first to "discover" Sienkiewicz. They did not accept him on the claims of French, or Ger- man, or English criticism. By their own native perception they knew he was great, and now the whole world has accepted their judgment. -

The text is also available in French and Russian (see attached pdf files). The Battle of Warsaw was one of the most important moments of the Polish-Bolshevik war, one of the most decisive events in the history of Poland, Europe and the entire world. However, excluding Poland, this fact is almost completely unknown to the citizens of European countries. This phenomenon was noticed a decade after the battle had taken place by a British diplomat, Lord Edgar Vincent d’Abernon, a direct witness of the events. In his book of 1931 “The Eighteenth Decisive Battle of the World: Warsaw, 1920”, he claimed that in the contemporary history of civilisation there are, in fact, few events of greater importance than the Battle of Warsaw of 1920. There is also no other which has been more overlooked. To better understand the origin and importance of the battle of Warsaw, one needs to become acquainted with a short summary of the Polish-Bolshevik war and, first and foremost, to get to know the goals of both fighting sides. We ought to start with stating the obvious, namely, that the Bolshevik regime, led by Vladimir Lenin, was, from the very beginning, focused on expansion. Prof. Richard Pipes, a prolific American historian, stated: “the Bolsheviks took power not to change Russia, but to use it as a trampoline for world revolution”. -

General Pulaski’s devo- tion to liberty knew no boundaries, and his bravery on the battlefield helped secure our independence. He sacrificed his life in defense of our freedom, and each year on October 11—the anniversary of his death—we honor his sacrifice and service and reflect on the contributions made by so many Polish-Americans throughout our Nation’s history. A skilled cavalryman even as a youth, Casimir Pulaski spent years defending his native Poland from foreign domination. Unable to win Polish sovereignty, Pulaski found a kindred cause in the fledgling American Nation. Encouraged by Benjamin Franklin, he set sail across the Atlantic in 1777 to join the Revolutionary forces. ‘‘I could not submit to stoop before the sovereigns of Europe,’’ he later wrote to Congress, ‘‘So I came to hazard all for the freedom of America.’’ Casimir Pulaski quickly distinguished himself at the Battle of Brandywine, where his courageous charge covered General George Washington’s retreat, saving Washington’s life. The Continental Congress promoted him to Briga- dier General, and for his command on horseback, he became known as the ‘‘Father of the American Cavalry.’’ Pulaski went on to form an inde- pendent cavalry legion, comprised of men from across Europe and America. -
