Mystics Series 5: Mystical Poets including Rumi,
Gerard Manley Hopkins, Mary Oliver and David Whyte
Hopkins was a Jesuit priest whose poetry was not published until after his death. It broke the
rules of poetry and left us with some of the most memorable lines ever:
The world is charged with the grandeur of God, it will flame out, like shining from shook foil…
Hopkins saw the essence of God in all that God has made and the language of his poetry draws
us into the same intimacy.
Over 600 years before Hopkins, Rumi a Persian poet, Islamic scholar, theologian and Sufi mystic
drew his followers into a Divine Dance where finding and being found by the Beloved is the
soul’s purpose. Rumi crosses all cultural and faith divides with his language of love.
Even if you think poetry is not for you, I invite you to meet our mystical poets and see the world
as they described it.
