Extract

Professor Lutosławski, Poland's greatest living authority on Plato and exponent of Polish Messianism, observed his ninetieth birthday June 6, 1953, confident of the ultimate triumph of unseen forces of the human spirit over the drift to world chaos and death. He has undergirded the hope of immortality and given a definitive form to Messianism.

An old Polish legend has it that an ancient king and his knights sleep on Mount Giewont. When the time is ripe, and the Polish people renewed in their chivalric faith, the king and knights will awaken and lead them to their own.
