Israfel: Letters, Visions And Poems (1886)

By Arthur Edward Waite

Book Overview

Israfel: Letters, Visions And Poems is a collection of literary works by Arthur Edward Waite, first published in 1886. The book includes a series of letters, poems, and visionary writings, all of which explore themes of spirituality, mysticism, and the occult. The title of the book is taken from a poem by Edgar Allan Poe, which Waite uses as a starting point for his own reflections on the nature of the divine and the role of the artist in expressing that divinity. The letters in the book are addressed to various individuals, including fellow writers and spiritual seekers, and offer insights into Waite's own spiritual journey and his views on the relationship between art and spirituality. The poems and visionary writings are similarly concerned with exploring the mysteries of the universe and the human soul, and are characterized by their rich symbolism and mystical imagery. Overall, Israfel: Letters, Visions And Poems is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most important occult thinkers of the late 19th century, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of spirituality and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
