What Hart does in the book is explore models of poetic reflection that conform to the models of neither discursive philosophical argumentation nor full-fledged religious contemplation, yet inhabit a meditative domain that is both conceptual and spiritual. I know of no other book that explores this terrain as thoroughly as this one does.\" -- John Koethe, University of Wisconsin–Madison\u003cbr\u003e“In this learned and comprehensive book on the poetic legacy of contemplation, Hart guides us from the early church fathers to the Romantics, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and many major twentieth-century poets who looked on nature in light of its likeness to spirit. A distinguished poet himself, Hart has much to say to readers and writers of poetry. Indeed, this book will interest anyone who has felt the power of leaving some things unsaid as well as the elation of those ‘hovering thoughts’ that are the book’s focus.” -- Susan Stewart, Princeton University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote on Citations and Conventions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1: From Templum to Contemplation\u003cbr\u003e 2: The Sabbath of the Idea\u003cbr\u003e 3: Hermeneutic of Contemplation\u003cbr\u003e 4: Contemplation with Kestrel\u003cbr\u003e 5: Fascination\u003cbr\u003e 6: Consideration\u003cbr\u003e 7: From Supreme Being to Supreme Fiction\u003cbr\u003e 8: Contemplation with Noisy Birds\u003cbr\u003e 9: Contemplating \"the True Mystery\"\u003cbr\u003e 10: \"On Course but Destinationless\"\u003cbr\u003e 11: Mystère and Mystique\u003cbr\u003e 12: \"To Contemplate the Radical Soul\"\u003cbr\u003e Afterword: Poem as Templum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Index","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400135319895,"sku":"9780226827568","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226827568.jpg?v=1730469844","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/lands-of-likeness-9780226827568","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
