الاستشراف في ديوان "لماذا تركت الحصان وحيدا " لمحمود درويش

Abstract EN

Expectation in poetry is the ability of the poet to exceed the existence of the universe.

It is the revealing of the hidden and the familiar.

This feature of expecting is not related to the modern poetry only.

It is a well-known feature that has long been assigned to old poetry like Al-Mutannabi an Al-Mu`arri who had their own unique ways of expecting and going beyond the current time and touching the future and making it a reality.

Based on their awareness, mature thinking and talent, they had the ability of reading what is to come, even if they were mere suppositions and tentative readings.

As for the modern poetry, we have poets like Amal Dunqil, Adonis, and Al-Sayyab whose poems became expectations to the future.

In addition to Mahmoud Darwish whose poems are the example of expectation in poetry, especially in his book (Why did you leave the horse alone) which is more a reading for the future than a book of poems.

His book is rich with culture, intuition, rich visions of the future.

The eloquence and the images in this book turn to be a reading tool that harness all the possibilities to a better reading for the future ; a better expectation.
