Meandering river flows...Abraham Gardens grow Follow the trail, continue its path See the trees challenge their rise Higher. Darker; footprints embed the ground – Walls emerge – golden chalices arise; Kingdom expands, cobbles imprint the very paths – Years have gone past; townhouses egress from the ground The very Piasts...Reign the soil, bricks and minds – Hussites, contest the land – The willow trees grew, sparrows eat the crumbs of the soil rich ground; Then. Sudden march. Black eagle come – darkness advances noon; Ice sgraffiti the river bore Bohemian aqua Saliva drops onto the soil, confound attack Prus paint the walls with sunrise; Corrupting the minds alike – Goods represent the Imperial contests ere close to daylight Dark clouds greet the land – Wave a cattle train ‘bis bald’; Never have I seen such a steady advance – pressing down their noxious thorns – Those scars. There they stood, stagnating any bound. Couldn’t step on the very grass; Sunrise broke through the clouds – Piercing the land with a ballast. Oh! Keep thee blossom bright.

Finis Poloniæ! (from Latin, "[This is] the end of Poland.") - fabricated Tadeusz Kościuszko exclamation by Prussian propaganda, said to take place on October 10, 1794 after his defeat at the Battle of Maciejowice.
Tadeusz Kościuszko was said to exclaim the maxim, when together with the Polish cavalry he tried to flee the field of battle. The cavaliers were chased by a Russian squadron. After forcing his horse accross the river by the Nowa Krępafarmstead, his horse collpased. Wanting to escape being captured by the Russian cavalry, the commander inserted his pistol in his mouth, in an attempt to commit suicide, however the pistol did not fire.[1] The Cossacks caught the Poles by the river and committed a mass slaughter. Kościuszko, laying down on the ground, cuffed, lacerated on the head with a broadsword, was said to have uttered the Latin phrase: "Finis Poloniæ!" ("[This is] the end of Poland.")[2] The Cossacks looted those wounded, leaving them on the field of battle, where a few hours later the Russians found Kościuszko and dressed his lacerations. Although having given Kościuszko a limited chance of survival, the commander survived.
Kościuszko, against his nature, so unobtrusive to great monologues, gave this Latin cry, still, if the absurdity was not less, for those, who could hear him, the Cossacks in pursuit of him, could not understand or repeat that exclamation.

Below is a gallery of some of my most deemed unique articles on Wikipedia that I have wrote, with the exception of Brzeg, which I have greatly expanded. Many of which are generally more detailed or have a high level of importance in their spheres of interest. The range of articles below illustrates the wide range of interests and focuses that I have been looking into, and subsequently translating from their original Polish language articles into the English language.
Below are all the other articles I have wrote and contributed to Wikipedia. Some of theses articles are based on topics of interest, as seen in the focus on Artists, Geography, and History. Having been born in Wrocław and lived in Brzeg (Poland) (and now in the United Kingdom), I have focused my articles on these areas - bringing information formerly only in the Polish language, into the English language. Overtime, I have expanded to other locations and topics along the way - one thing for sure this is going to be a long task and one which will be always incomplete.
