This book studies how poetic structure transforms verbal imitations
of religious experience into 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
romantic and symbolistic poetry.
