TAMSIL METAFISIK DAN PENGALAMAN MISTIK DALAM SAJAK-SAJAK CINTA GANDRUNG KARYA A. MUSTOFA BISRI

Abstract

Mustofa Bisri's poetry belongs to the category of poetry that stars from
meaning itself but it is also composed from esthetic mystical experiences, It does
not rely on the beauty of verbal expression and on language play only. Its esthetic
quality also lies on the images of esthetic mystical experiences reflected in his
poems. Even if translated into another language, the poems would not lose the
esthetic quality.
In accordance with the theory of poetry, the language used in the poems
possesses what is often called deceptive simplicity. And in his poems it is assumed
to be the result of the basic nature of poetry, that is, indirect expression by way of
displacement of meaning, distortion of meaning, and creation of meaning.
Keywords: poetry, mystical experience, esthetic quality.
