Summary/Abstract: Some saints performed a rich literary activity. They intertwined prayer with writing. Their creations reflect religious feelings. Most of them wrote metaphorical prayers with lyrically transposed emotions. Some of them chose to live far away in wild places, in a complete loneliness. Those places metamorphose the vision of life between man and God. Their poems reflect religious feeling and a huge concern for others. Their works reveal the man closer to God in the way of salvation.
