Szlak JelonkówNorwidek
Norwidek – the trail's graduate-to-be, on watch in front of the Cyprian Kamil Norwid High School. In a scarf in the school colours, on a stack of books, with a goose quill in his hooves – as if he were just finishing another piece for the collection Vade-mecum.
Fun fact: Cyprian Kamil Norwid (1821–1883) was a poet so far ahead of his time that he remained misunderstood during his life – most of his manuscripts were discovered and published only decades after his death, thanks to Zenon Przesmycki (Miriam). Today he is regarded as one of Poland's four great national bards, alongside Mickiewicz, Słowacki and Krasiński.
