Mastodonty

Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer

Mastodonty Burza drzew! Pniów przepaście, ocean konarów,  Huragan życia, wulkan wzrostu i rozwoju,  Kaskady złotych liści, fontanny powoju,  Huk kwiatów pękających od słońca pożarów.    Cicho — wtem wielkie płazy dźwignęły z moczarów  Potworne łby, złociste od złotych much roju;  Jeleń, co z krysztalnego zbiegł napić się zdroju,  Stanął, nastawił uszy i pomknął przez parów. [...]Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer Ur. 12 lutego 1865 w Ludźmierzu Zm. 18 stycznia 1940 w Warszawie Najważniejsze dzieła: Na Skalnym Podhalu (1910), Legenda Tatr (1912); wiersze: Eviva l'arte; Hymn do Nirwany; Koniec wieku XIX; Prometeusz; Lubię, kiedy kobieta; Widok ze Świnicy do Doliny Wierchcichej; Pieśń o Jaśku zbójniku; List Hanusi. Poeta, jeden z czołowych przedstawicieli polskiego modernizmu (Młodej Polski); spośród jego obfitej twórczości poetyckiej najistotniejsze dla historii literatury pozostają wiersze z drugiej (1894), trzeciej (1898) i czwartej (1900) serii Poezji, oddające ducha dziewiętnastowiecznego dekadentyzmu, pesymizmu egzystencjalnego, a także fascynacji myślą Schopenhauera i Nietzschego oraz mitologią i filozofią indyjską, które właściwe było pokoleniu Tetmajera, szczególnie młodopolskiej bohemie. Tetmajer zasłynął ponadto jako autor śmiałych erotyków, a także piewca górskiej przyrody Tatr i popularyzator folkloru podhalańskiego; pisał również dramaty (Zawisza Czarny, Rewolucja, Judasz), nowele i powieści (Ksiądz Piotr; Na Skalnym Podhalu; Legenda Tatr; Z wielkiego domu; Panna Mery). Był przyrodnim bratem Włodzimierza Tetmajera, stanowił prototyp postaci Poety z Wesela Wyspiańskiego. Jego ojciec, Adolf Tetmajer, brał udział w powstaniu listopadowym i styczniowym; matka, Julia Grabowska, należała do tzw. koła entuzjastek, literatek skupionych wokół Narcyzy Żmichowskiej. Podczas studiów na Wydziale Filozoficznym Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego (1884-1886) zaprzyjaźnił się z Lucjanem Rydlem, Stanisławem Estreicherem i Ferdynandem Hoesickiem. Zajmował się twórczością poetycką i pracą dziennikarską w "Kurierze Polskim" (współredaktor 1989--93), "Tygodniku Ilustrowanym", "Kurierze Warszawskim" i krakowskim "Czasie". Przez wiele lat pełnił funkcję sekretarza Adama Krasińskiego (wnuka Zygmunta, zajmującego się wydawaniem spuścizny autora Nie-Boskiej komedii) i w tej roli przebywał w Heidelbergu (1895). W czasie I wojny światowej był związany z legionami Piłsudskiego (redagował pismo "Praca Narodowa"); po wojnie wdał się w spór polsko-czechosłowacki o linię graniczną w Tatrach, był organizatorem Komitetu Obrony Spisza, Orawy i Podhala oraz prezesem Komitetu Obrony Kresów Południowych. W 1921 został prezesem Towarzystwa Literatów i Dziennikarzy Polskich, a w 1934 członkiem honorowym Polskiej Akademii Literatury. Drugą połowę życia poety naznaczyła choroba. Powikłania wywołane kiłą doprowadziły najpierw do zaburzeń psychicznych (które ujawniły się już podczas obchodów 25-lecia jego twórczości w 1912 r.), a w późniejszym czasie do utraty wzroku. Pod koniec życia Tetmajer egzystował dzięki ofiarności społecznej, umożliwiono mu mieszkanie w Hotelu Europejskim w Warszawie, skąd został eksmitowany w styczniu 1940 r. przez okupacyjne władze niemieckie. Zmarł w Szpitalu Dzieciątka Jezus z powodu nowotworu przysadki mózgowej oraz niewydolności krążenia. Jest pochowany na Cmentarzu Zasłużonych w Zakopanem; na warszawskich Powązkach znajduje się jego symboliczny grób.
