Farzana, Shamsi. 2016. The Theme of Mysticism in Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson’s Poetry.
European Journal of English Language and Literature
Studies. January. Vol.4, No.1, pp.1-15
Review:
Whitman was an ideal poet,
he believed that he is the poet of man first, then of nature, and finally of
God . Whitman’s ideal poet is a singer of the self; he also understands the
relation between
self and the large realities of
the social and political world and of the spiritual universe. Miss Dickinson
poetry is rich with a profound and varied experience; motivated by an arrogant
passion for the truth. Miss Dickinson real reverence to God that makes her a
mystic lies in a more manifest and more beautiful evidence of divine will than
creeds and churches. The aim and content of Christian mysticism is not self or
nature but God. Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson both have been hailed as
original and unique artists. They each have like proportions a very unique epic
like manner. Whitman preoccupation with sex, the human body, and numerous other
“taboo” subjects, changed the American public view of poetry. Emily Dickinson
was more of a dark, serious person, whereas Walt Whitman was more at ease with
him. They lived at the same era but they are different from each other.
