At that time he was already publishing patriotic poems under pseudonyms: Napierski and Antoni Wrzesień. He then went to France and continued his studies there at the University of Paris. In 1890 he became literary director of the Warsaw magazine “Życie” and correspondent for “Przegląd Tygodniowy”, “Pobudka” and “Głos” from Paris. In 1924 he founded the literary magazine "Astrea". After his return to Poland he became a member of “Straż Piśmiennictwa Polskiego” (predecessor organization of Polska Akademia Literatury ).
