Abstract
The article is devoted to the new results on literary research about the power of memory in “Roadside Doggy” by Czesław Miłosz (1911-2004). Cz. Miłosz remembers episodes from his life in Vilnius, which is a proof of his special point of view. Miłosz’s journey, which started at the beginning of the previous century, has no limits in “Roadside Doggy”. “Two horses driven carriage” goes without obstructions, penetrates deeply into the mind, and reaches the farthest neighbourhoods. It is a kind of account with one’s past according to the idea that “man without memory is nearly dead and represents the inferior part of humanity.”

Abstract
The article is devoted to the historic and poetic studies on the literary heritage of Julia Wichert-Kairuksztis (1864-1949) – unremembered poetess and translater. Julia Wichert-Kairuksztis was stressing her polishness continuously during all her life, even though she was living in Lithuanian environment and all of her children grew up in the spirit of Lithuanian patriotism. She wanted to be a link between two nations, between two homelands. After the renovation of diplomatic relations between Poland and Lithuania, that initiative had to be the second step for linking two countries and nations. Unfortunately, there was became an obstacle for realization of that initiative. The most copies of the prepared anthology were lost during the war. The memory of the poetess Julia Wichert-Kairuksztis was also unstable.
