The Alchemy of Spirituality: A Comparative Analysis of Rumi and Shelley's Poems The Alchemy of Love and Hymn to Intellectual Beauty
A Comparative Study that aims to highlight the mystic notions and the similarities within the poetic approaches of the poets: Rumi and Shelley with reference to their poems The Alchemy of Love (1926) and Hymn to Intellectual Beauty (1817). The Alchemy of Love by Rumi and Hymn to Intellectual Beauty by Shelley can be seen as profound echoes of spirituality. The study's analytical framework, by implementing Osho's spiritual (mystic) philosophy, endeavors to illustrate the similarities and dissimilarities in their ideological beliefs and the rationale behind them by keeping in view their unique spiritual dimensions. The mystic ideas shared by the two poets diminish the cultural, religious, and geographical differences, expressing that spirituality pervades far beyond these limited boundaries of human intellect. This study encourages comparative examination of Eastern and Western poets and is capable enough to open new horizons for research in the realm of World literature across the globe.
