It presents the question of the evolution of this author’s scientific language in connection with the transformation of the Interwar poets’ imagination under the influence of astrophysical knowledge gained as a result of important discoveries and cosmic observations. This attempt is an invitation to take a look at the history of the Polish poetry in the 20th century from the perspective of its transformations in connection to scientific, and especially, astrophysical progress. Staff ’s poetry dating from the Young Poland period to the post-World War II time seems to be a good lens, through which such transformations can be observed.
