dc.description.abstractIn this comparative study of two great mystical literary figures, attention is directed at comparing Jalaluddin Rumi and William Blake with regard to their contribution in the poetic and the spiritual development of mystical literature. The emphasis of the thesis is on the themes of separation and union in the selected poems of the two poets. Jalaluddin Rumi as Sufi poet and William Blake as a Romantic Poet did not study the works of each other and hailed from different geographical, political, social, and religious environment. However, they seem to speak about similar themes, namely separation and union. As such, there is really a need to conduct a comparative study on the themes of separation and union in Sufism as an integral part of an organized religion and specifically in the poems of Rumi and Romanticism as a nonreligious category, specifically the poems of Blake. The thesis tries to analyze and explain the similarities and differences between the poetry of Rumi and Blake through an in-depth understanding of the themes of separation and union. The study also attempts to ascertain and define clearly the spiritual positions and views of the two poets based on separation and union and regardless of the differences in culture, language and their presence in different centuries and different places. This comparative study is constructed on the doctrine of perennial philosophy led by Aldous Huxley. A hermeneutical approach was employed to analyze the poetry of Rumi and Blake. Examining the similarities and differences between the poetry of the two poets through an in-depth understanding of themes of separation and union indicated that the study is unique in a literary sense and it is possible to fill a literary gap via studying these two prominent figures and their literary mystical ideas. In addition, the spiritual position of the two poets proved that they have a lot of commonalities in causes and process of separation as well as the path to union with divinity.en_US
