Thomas Traherne bol anglický básnik a duchovný, ktorého spisy sa vyznačujú intenzívnou, učenou spiritualitou. Jeho tvorba, ktorá často skúma slávu stvorenia a dôverný vzťah s Bohom, vyjadruje horlivú, takmer detskú lásku k Bohu. Traherneho poézia, združovaná s metafyzickými básnikmi, vykazuje témy podobné neskorším autorom ako William Blake a Walt Whitman. Jeho láska k prírode evokuje romantizmus ešte pred samotným romantickým hnutím.

Thomas Traherne (c. 1636-1674) was an English poet, clergyman, theologian, and religious writer. Centuries, his best known work, was first published in 1908 after having been miraculously discovered in manuscript ten years earlier. Perhaps more than any spiritual writer of his age, Traherne is profoundly cognizant of the Glory of the Lord as it abides in Creation. His writing conveys an ardent, almost childlike love of God comparable to similar themes in the works of such later poets as William Blake, Walt Whitman, and Gerard Manley Hopkins
