The taste of Bedouin poets in love, the effect of the environment on the formation of poetic language, the role of the environment in inspiring the poet's imagination with imagesAbstract
The research dealt with the presentation of Bedouin women's adornment and aesthetic qualities, in comparing them to the aesthetic aspects of the natural environment, which influence the creative taste of Bedouin poets in their description or flirting with women. After a careful reading of the contents of Bedouin pre-Islamic poetic texts, we find the influence of the Bedouin environment effective and influential in building the taste of their creative imagination; through the use of multiple Bedouin phenomena in describing women. We find the taste of Bedouin poets weaving their creative texts from pure natural aesthetic legacies, such as images of beautiful and diverse wild animals such as gazelles, snakes, and others, and images of natural plants such as flowers, roses, and tall, lush branches, and climatic images such as clouds, lightning, rain, and sun, and other Bedouin images, including their saying: A companion who does not rest or go back, or a generous soul offers her food in days of drought, and her noble lineage and other good qualities; In addition to the Bedouin phenomena that were observed during our analysis of the poetic texts. And other legacies of images of beauty in the Bedouin environment, whose creative taste prevailed in describing the beauty of the woman he was flirting with. With the poet's keenness to keep the image of his taste purely natural, that is, he did not put jewelry tools and materials for decoration and beautification in the woman described or flirted with. Consequently, the woman appeared in their texts with pure natural beauty.
