Poetry and the sacred : a reading in interrelations

Abstract EN

This paper is an attempt to explore the relationship between the poetic and religious discourses.

It attempts to read this give-and-take relationship, characterized by a great deal of caution and dread.

The researcher tries to support his argument by examples of poets who encroached upon the domain of religion, and how religion used the poetic appeal to catch the attention of the reader, and possess his awareness.
