Juan de Yepes, el gran poeta español del Siglo de Oro -considerado por muchos no solo el gran poeta de la mistica española, sino el mas grande en castellano-, unio en sus poemas perfeccion verbal y expresion cargada de emocion pura, inspirada en un profundo sentimiento religioso, un estilo casi biblico como el del ""Cantar de los cantares"". Gran conocedor de la Biblia y de la filosofia aristotelica y platonica, de estilo bucolico y pastoril y de las Eglogas del poeta Garcilaso de la Vega. El celebre ""Cantico"" (que algunos denominan ""Cantico espiritual"") posee un gran ritmo y musicalidad.
