Similarly noteworthy is Mickiewicz's earlier and longer 1823 poem, "Grażyna", depicting the exploits of a Lithuanian chieftainess against the Teutonic Knights. Miłosz writes that "Grażyna" "combines a metallic beat of lines and syntactical rigor with a plot and motifs dear to the Romantics." It is said by Christien Ostrowski to have inspired Emilia Plater, a military heroine of the November 1830 Uprising. A similar message informs Mickiewicz's "Oda do młodości" ("Ode to Youth").
