subject

description

The literary legacy of Johannes Scheffler - Angelus Silesius (1624-1677), known in Polish as Silesian Angel, is one of the most precious jewels of culture created in Silesia in the 17th century. The poet became famous with a small collection of couplets Cherubinischer Wandersmann (Cherub wanderer), which tries to present the mystical path to God in a speculative way. Silesian Angel tried to show an affective way to God and the collection of poems Heilige Seelen-Lust (Holy joy of the soul) is a meaningful example. This work includes the song Die Psyche sehnt sich nach Jesu alleine (Psyche only longs Jesus). It gives basis for the church song Jesus, Jesus, come to me, which is still popular in Poland. This is an excellent example of the permanence of Angelus Silesius’ work.
