Publisher's Synopsis
Recommended by Joel Goldsmith - an anthology of spiritual and mystical verse in the English language from the tenth to the twentieth centuries. First published by the Oxford University Press in 1917, and reprinted numerous times, it has been out of print since 1969; this is the first American edition.Who can touch the hem of transcendence and hint of its splendor? Who can define the indescribable experiences of the solitary life on the mystical path? Who among us can portray the moment of communion with Spirit? Who better than the mystical poet... to show that the torch of the inner Light has been handed down from age to age until the present day, when, as we believe, the world is near to a spiritual vitalization hitherto unimagined.
