The Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse
Restore thine Image, so much, by thy grace, / That thou may’st know mee, and I’ll turne my face.

The Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse

Chosen by D. H. S. Nicholson and A. H. E. Lee

Comprising 390 poems by 162 authors, this unique anthology strings together “such poems as contain intimations of a consciousness wider and deeper than the normal.” Spanning five centuries, every era of the great spiritualists is represented: from the Metaphysical Poets, like Donne and Traherne, to the Romantics, including Tennyson and Browning, to the Moderns, such as Yeats and Noyes.
