Instytut Neofilologii Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski w OlsztynieAbstract
The rain is a strikingly modest metaphor of solitude. However, it can deliver both its mutable intensity and dynamics (The solitude by Rainer Maria Rilke) and its life-giving and death-bringing power (The rains by Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński). The solitude proves that existential element that almost abolishes the limit between God and the man: The divine and the human get mixed in the raindrops that falling down embrace the world like God and that reflect the man as much as he seems to be inside.
