The article is a reflection on the necessity of the angels presence in the history of the work of Tadeusz Nowak. It can be concluded that Nowak introduced to his poetry angels, devils, de-mons or God acts like a poet who has the right to use metaphors. But the rhetorical turn origi-nated in the mid-twentieth century by the historians of the school, “Annales” allows you to rec-ognize that everyone is equal historical discourse, he reflects – not the truth but her vision, so personal sensibility and understanding of history. Cited passages show how to interpret specific historical events (Second World War, August 1980, colliery “Wujek”, martial law...) which shall be entered in a string of history and presented as analogous to earlier events, or as a con-tinuation of a historical order, which speaks – good (or bad) the spirit of history. The history of no-divine, the story understood as the course of events from which you can not cobble together a history – stories about these events. God and the angel engaging in temporal history, called to her explanation is “transcendence small”, attuned to human understanding and naming. And that means the same extent explains the history of metaphysics (taking the form of history), as the story explains the metaphysics, as the eternal need for any sense of human events. “Angel” is an indispensable – he first assumes the view of the ruined past. Do not we watch it, because we still tell the history.
