I personally consider much of Walt Whitman s poetry to be rapturous in both style and form, as in Whitman s poem Poets to come! from Leaves of Grass . By rapturous I mean enticing , actively engaging and transporting . In this day and age it can be argued that rapture is perhaps more identifiable with a contagious sense of conviction and the power of sentimental persuasion rather than overbearing romanticism, and religious or sensual ecstasy.
