A Theistic Perspective of Poetic Expression
A Theistic Perspective of Poetic Expression

Summary/Abstract: The human being is placed between the aesthetic perspective of the world and the great adventure of truth, which cannot be named, but only intuited. This is the truth of the mystery, of the extramundane God, creator of cosmic harmony, who motivates time and space and, therefore, the divine nature of man. The vision of religious poetry is neither aporia nor anthropocentrism. We can observe an essentially religious thought in which origin and finality, time and eternity are imposed as necessary terms. In the vision of the authors of religious works in literature, the universe is the unfolding of the absolute and universal reason, of divine thinking, in which man, separated from virtuality by appropriateness to time and space, lives, opts and decides through attitude, seeking solutions to the problems of the spirit in the affective area. The recognition of the limits, of the status of a creature, awakens in man’s soul the mystical fear in front of an absolute power, which transcends everything - space, time and man - and which presents itself as a mystery, the mystery somehow constituting the form of the qualitative content of the absolute, inaccessible force, that fascinates man.
