Description:T HE ancient poetry of Arabia; immediately before the advent of Mohammed, is the most delightful wild flower of literature the Eastern world can show. Compared with it, all other Asiatic verse has a certain garden character, the bravery of the cultured rose and jessamine and lily. But this has the fugitive beauty of the lily of the field, nay, of something wilder still, the flower of no field at all but of the naked desert, which after the spring rain is clothed for an instant with diminutive strange blossoms peculiar to itself and which are seen no more. All that it can be likened to with any justice is the lyrical portion of the older Hebrew scriptures—parts of the Book of Job, the Psalms of David without their piety, the love-canticle of Solomon without its mystic meaning. In Europe the nearest analogy to it is perhaps to be found in the pre-Christian verse of Celtic Ireland, which by a strange accident was its close contemporary, and lost its wild natural impulse through the very same circumstance of the conversion of its pagan bards to an overmastering new theology.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
