Mystical experience, by its very nature inconceivable for the human mind and incommunicable in human language, becomes revealed in images: it is recorded in metaphors. And since metaphor is a medium of the mystical, its translation is a task of great importance, where a translator must adopt a certain strategy not only for its single occurrence but for a whole text. Analysis of this problem requires a number of definitions: first of all, a definition of the mystical experience, and then the definition of metaphor. The tools used in the present paper are provided by cognitive metaphor theory. Another necessary step is determination of translation strategy and of its relation to the translation of metaphor. This theoretical introduction will be followed by presentation of selected English mystics and their texts in the original and in translation into Polish. Analysis of the original is to show the presence and status of metaphors in each examined text, while analysis of the translation will focus on the cognitive understanding of the concept of translation equivalence in reference to these metaphors.

This study is conceived as a partial contribution to the extensive literary-theoretical issues of the so-called poetics of the inexpressible, and at the same time to a reflection on the phenomenology of the French philosopher Jean-Luc Marion. The study is attentive to his inspirational concept of the saturated phenomenon and aims to explore its interpretive potential in relation to literary texts capturing the mystical experience. The literary-theoretical interpretation of the mystical experience is anchored in the Christian spiritual tradition, especially in the texts of St. Catharine of Genoa and St. Theresa of Avila, as well as in selected biblical narratives. The key to the interpretation is the concept of the so-called infused love – he understands it as the ontological heart of the mystical experience. In the context of Marion´s phenomenology of giveness, infused love be identified as „given“, i.e. what the mystic receives in abundance in the experience of theophany, more precisely to an extent that exceeds it and which intensity and distinctive quality force him to resign to the opportunity to speak about its experience in a humanly intelligible way. This knowledge motivates the expressive attainment of mystical writing as well as the creation of a special type of narrative.

The biblical understanding of faith shows that it is a phenomenon inherently connected with the perception and experience of God's presence and action in human history. Revelation is considered the foundation of faith, as recorded by both testaments: from the words or personal stories of the patriarchs and the prophets to the stories of the Gospel and the witness of Christ's followers. The act of faith expects that the individual or the nation will fully embrace Revelation, doing so in devotion and trust. Reflecting on the relationship between religion and faith, this study will primarily draw upon the paradigm of Christian knowledge and, especially, – utilizing the method of literary interpretation with interdisciplinary overlaps – from the mystical experiences of selected medieval authors (such as Margherita de Cortona, Angela da Foligno, and Chiara da Montefalco). This is because the mystical experience mirrors a multitude of attributes that accompany the act of faith. And even though the mystical experience is due to its mysterious character fundamentally inexpressible, it remains an original source of revealing the processes of the human being's spiritual maturation.
