The relationship between belief and expression in these three metaphysical poets is the subject of this deeply perceptive study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of these poets held to some extent the notion of dual reality, of the world as indicative of a higher reality, but their responses to this tradition vary greatly -- from the ongoing struggle between God and the poet of \u003ci\u003eThe Temple\u003c\/i\u003e, which finally transforms the materials of everyday life and worship; to the more difficult unity of \u003ci\u003eSilex Scintillans\u003c\/i\u003e, with its tension between illumination and resignation; to the ecstatic proclamations of Thomas Traherne, whose sense of divine reality at first seems so strong as to destroy the characteristic metaphysical tension between this world and the next. Seelig's study proceeds from individual poems to the whole work, exploring the relation of cosmology and religious experience to poetic form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharon C.
