      ab: This essay makes a critical, comparative study of the mystical elements in the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke's (1923) Duino Elegies and Alfred Tennyson's (1850) In Memoriam, two great elegies in world literature. While juxtaposing the mystical notes in the works, it highlights how the 'mystique' content contributes to the grand design and the overall effect of the poems. The rationale behind the selection of the texts lies in finding a good deal of similarities between the two, of which the mystical element is an important one.
