Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 T: Ever see " Leaves of Grass " ? P; poor as I am, my apt. bldg. has a lawn, so yes, I see blade of grass, and I read Whitman, too. He is not a mystic poet in my book. Granted some of his poems could be considered so. T: or the complete works of Rainer Maria Rilke or Rumi? Heavens no! I have better things to do. T: Generalizations about the ineffable are nonsense. Did I write about the ineffable? I thought I wrote about poetry. No telling what people will read into what one writes!

It is generally assumed that mystic poetry speaks of the ineffable. toombaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
