Longing for Transcendence in the Mirror of Post-'45 English Poetry

Abstract

With the inestimable help of poetry, this thesis tries to find first questions which interest us, which are the eruption of “infinite passion” burning in us - sleeping silently or shouting aloud -, questions that are the symptoms of our illness of meaninglessness. Secondly, I will try to find explanations, justifications and certain answers for these questions, from my point of view, and finally, my main aim is to reveal that our “finite hearts yearn”.
