From a Closed Text to Infinity (Reading A. Mickiewicz’s Poem "Aryman i Oromaz")

Teresa Dobrzyńska

Abstract

Starting from A. Mickiewicz’s poem Aryman i Oromaz. Z Zenda-Westy, which describes a mythical event, and is composed as an element of a series (the final part repeats the initial verses, making the final situation similar to the initial one), the author discusses various sorts oftexts based on the mechanisms ofrecurrence, that is, the texts that include a semantic loop. Such texts constitute the context of interpretation for Mickiewicz’s work. Thus, the event described in it acquires the features ofrepeatability and gains an infinite perspective.
