The author draws comparisons between the two, exploring their similarities and differences. Oriental mysticism, as expressed in poetry, has taken hold in nations such as Persia, with its poets becoming national literary figures. In contrast, occidental mysticism has found expression not in poetry, but in other literary forms such as sermons, treatises, and hymns. The author examines the works of two men of Western vision: Angelus Silesius and Ralph Waldo Emerson. By examining their writings, the author illuminates key differences between Eastern and Western mysticism and the extent to which mysticism has influenced different cultures and time periods.
