Is there anyone out there that studies hermeticism or conscious transcendence (or something pretty relative) that might want to discuss these things 1 on 1? On an instant messenger maybe? Currently I don't know a soul other than myself. : /

These terms might be helpful to others that have this interest:-

Hermeticism, noun.hermetic quality or condition.

Hermetic school,a group of Italian poets of the 1930's who wrote in an obscure, personal style that seemed sealed off from everyday life.

Hermetism, noun.Hermetic teaching or philosophy.

Do you know who these Italian Poets are ?
Can you read and understand Italian ?

Very interesting article:-

Quasimodo, Salvatore, (1901-1968), an Italian poet, won the 1959 Nobel Prize for literature. Until about 1942, Quasimodo belonged to the hermetic school, a group of poets who wrote in a difficult, personal style that seemed sealed off from everyday life. Largely because of World War II, Quasimodo turned to a style that dealt with the events of his time. Beginning with Day after Day (1947), his poetry became an accurate reflection of the grief and destruction that the war had brought to humanity.

Quasimodo was born in Modica, near Syracuse, Sicily. In 1918, he moved to northern Italy. His first poems were published in literary magazines in Florence and later as a collection called Waters and Lands (1930). He also wrote many essays on literature, and translated the work of such writers as E. E. Cummings, Moliere, Sappho, and William Shakespeare.

It has more to do with the nature of Alchemy, Astrology, and Theurgy more so than italian poetry...

Your sarcasm is obvious. Why so asinine?

Certainly no sarcasm in any form was implied.

The definitions I offered were DICTIONARY

The Italian Poets of that time seem to have
Embraced the ideas wholeheartedly.
It is a shame when the English speaking
World misses out when (they) have no knowledge of what is available in Italian.

Ah, all right. I apologize for my misconception. Thanks for clearing things up.
