Thomas Traherne

    Thomas Traherne byl anglický básník a duchovní, jehož spisy se vyznačují intenzivní, učeneckou spiritualitou. Jeho tvorba, která často zkoumá slávu stvoření a důvěrný vztah s Bohem, vyjadřuje horlivou, téměř dětskou lásku k Bohu. Traherneho poezie, sdružovaná s metafyzickými básníky, vykazuje témata podobná pozdějším autorům, jako jsou William Blake a Walt Whitman. Jeho láska k přírodě evokuje romantismus ještě před samotným romantickým hnutím.

    • Thomas Traherne (c. 1636-1674) was an English poet, clergyman, theologian, and religious writer. Centuries, his best known work, was first published in 1908 after having been miraculously discovered in manuscript ten years earlier. Perhaps more than any spiritual writer of his age, Traherne is profoundly cognizant of the Glory of the Lord as it abides in Creation. His writing conveys an ardent, almost childlike love of God comparable to similar themes in the works of such later poets as William Blake, Walt Whitman, and Gerard Manley Hopkins
