Hieroglyphics: A Note Upon Ecstasy In Literature is a book written by Arthur Machen, a Welsh author and mystic, originally published in 1902. The book is a collection of essays that explore the idea of ecstasy in literature and how it can be conveyed through language. Machen examines the works of various writers, including William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Edgar Allan Poe, and Walt Whitman, among others, to illustrate how they use language to evoke a sense of transcendence and spiritual experience. The title of the book refers to the idea that language can be like hieroglyphics, a complex system of symbols that can unlock hidden meanings and reveal deeper truths. Machen's writing is often poetic and mystical, reflecting his own interest in the occult and esotericism. Overall, Hieroglyphics is a fascinating exploration of the power of language to convey the ineffable and the sublime.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
