Cyprian Kamil Norwid, a.k.a. Cyprian Konstanty Norwid ((:ˈt͡sɨprjan ˈnɔrvid); 24 September 1821 – 23 May 1883) was a nationally esteemed Polish poet, dramatist, painter, and sculptor. He was born in the Masovian village of Laskowo-Głuchy near Warsaw. One of his maternal ancestors was the Polish King John III Sobieski.〔Marcin Król, Konserwatyści a niepodległość, Warszawa 1985, p. 160.〕 Norwid is regarded as one of the second generation of romantics. He wrote many well-known poems including ''Fortepian Szopena'' ("Chopin's Piano"), ''Moja piosnka ()'' ("My Song ()") and ''Bema pamięci żałobny-rapsod'' ("A Funeral Rhapsody in Memory of General Bem"). Norwid led a tragic and often poverty-stricken life (once he had to live in a cemetery crypt). He experienced increasing health problems, unrequited love, harsh critical reviews, and increasing social isolation. He lived abroad most of his life, especially in London and in Paris, where he died. Norwid's original and non-conformist style was not appreciated in his lifetime and partially due to this fact, he was excluded from high society. His work was only rediscovered and appreciated during the Young Poland art period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. He is now considered one of the four most important Polish Romantic poets. Other literary historians, however, consider this an oversimplification, and regard his style to be more characteristic of classicism and parnassianism. ==Life== Born into the Topór coat of arms, Cyprian Norwid and his brother Ludwik were early orphaned. For most of their childhoods, they were educated at Warsaw schools. In 1830 Norwid interrupted his schooling (not having completed the fifth grade) and entered a private school of painting. His incomplete formal education forced him to become an autodidact. His first foray into the literary sphere occurred in the periodical ''Piśmiennictwo Krajowe'', which published his first poem, (''"Mój ostatni sonet"'' ) ("My Last Sonnet"), in issue 8, 1840. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cyprian Norwid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
