For a mystic poet, writing
is a personal soul-searching.
The artistic experience
at it's highest, is a natural analogue
of mystical experience.
The mystic poet is concerned
with the organic whole
of the seen and the unseen.
Dante, John of the Cross,
Blake and Hopkins
were mystics and poets
at the same time.
A certain inner compulsion
energizes them.
The tune that they hear
is not heard by all.
But the mystic poet
may so present it
that others may also
hear the resonances
which he hears in his heart.

I would like to translate this poem
And hear you, we do poet. What a beautiful expression.
