Özet

The poetry reader is a kind of pilgrim who sets out on the road, who is at the beginning of a journey of initiation. Reading poetry is an adventure of renewal, a creative act, a perpetual beginning, a rebirth of the miracle, particularly when it envisages sacred matters. This paper investigates the 17th century-religious lyric of John Donne and George Herbert in order to demonstrate the type of art portrays spiritual depths that underpin their poetics. The religious aesthetics stands out among other types of lyric artistry.
