Résumé

The mystical aspects of Roberts' poetry is his richest and most persistent vein. There is a mystical quest apparent early in the poet's career, and this intensified as his career developed. Related to his mysticism is his exposure of the life-denying absurdity of asceticism. The tragic sense inherent to his poetry and to his animal stories is intrinsic to his mysticism.
