(Polish title: Glos Milosza w sporze o 'niezrozumialstwo' jako ponowiony wybor tradycji. Wokol nie ujawnionych intertekstow szkicow 'Przeciw poezji niezrozumialej' i 'Postscriptum'). The article offers a detailed analysis of Czeslaw Milosz's two late sketches written at the beginning of 1990s, i.e. Against incomprehensible poetry (Przeciw poezji niezrozumialej) and Postscriptum. Resorting to the poetics of manifesto, Milosz once again presents the main assumptions of his epiphanic poetry project. This time, however, the presentation has a form of a subtle intertextual play with the reader: Milosz in an allusive way prompts a cue and ostentatiously rejects the thouhgts that refer to the most famous polemics of the Inter-War Years, that is to the controversy over 'incomprehensibility.' The present article contains a reconstruction of the play as well as the answers to the question for the stake of the play. In the different context of literature characteristic of a critical phase of modernism Milosz continues, or rather revives, the question about 'incomprehensibility.' Now it is no longer a 'within Avant-Garde' argument about the form, but an antonymy between the traditional world view and the modern one in its main aesthetic tendencies: 'Against the torrents of elaborate metaphors and against a network of words liberated from colloquial meanings.'
