The Harmony Of The Mystical Thought Of John Of The Cross. Persistence And Poetical Resumption: P. Cyprien De La Nativite De La Vierge, Paul Valery, Rainer Maria Rilke

The harmony of the spiritual, mystical experience of Jean de la Croix in the 16th century in Spain, unfolds itself in numerous poetic recreations, always new, always begun again. From his major poems interlace in an unexpected way the translation made in the 17th century by the Carmelite P. Cyprien, the discovery of this translation by Paul Valery at the beginning of the 20th century, in perfect conjunction with its own research, or still their resonance in the poetic work of Rainer Maria Rilke, lover of the "landscapes" of Spain, and a reader of both Paul Valery and Jean de la Croix... all this awaiting further relations and crossings. It is the whole multiple synaesthesia, associated with the sensitive, physical or spiritual experiences of life, that experiences itself in the pure poetry beyond the limits of languages, space and time.
