This book does not study religious ideas for their own sake, but
how religious ideas are turned into verbal imitations of religious
experience by poetic
structure. Even such words as 'ecstasy' or 'mysticism' denote
clear-cut concepts. The book investigates how such a conceptual
language can convey such
non-conceptual experiences as meditation, ecstasy or mystic
insights. Briefly, it explores how the poet, by using words, can
express the 'ineffable'. It submits
to close reading English, French, German, Spanish, Italian,
Armenian and Hebrew texts, from the Bible, through medieval,
renaissance, metaphysical, and
baroque poetry, to (secular) romantic and symbolistic poetry.
