Overview
A major devotional work by one of the greatest Christian mystics and Spanish poets
A Penguin Classic
The poetry of the sixteenth-century Spanish mystic John of the Cross has inspired and consoled for hundreds of years, influencing writers such as James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, and Seamus Heaney. This new edition of his essential works, in a sensitive and luminous translation by Martha Sprackland, gathers John of the Cross’s complete poems and a selection of his prose, including from his extended commentary on the poem “Dark Night.” In his immediate, sensual writing, there is a soul searching for meaning and union with the divine: both meek and bold, deserving and unworthy, oscillating between light and dark, soaring and falling, desperation and salvation. Dark Night provides a picture of faith at once confronting and inspiriting, and of the power of words as a means of spiritual transcendence.
