Summary/Abstract: Philippe Jaccottet gives a presence to the image and admires nature in which he has sought a spiritual adventure that touches on mystical experience. This experience points towards “natural” mysticism. He discovers haiku which has the ability to become a mirror of the world, which the poet crosses to unite the self and the world. This short form will undoubtedly have an influence on Jaccottet’s poetic experience and his way of expressing a mystical experience.
