Dictionary of pearls of poetry, the most beautiful and famous verses

Author's name: Emile Yaqoub

I hope, dear reader, that you enjoy this collection of poems that I have selected for you, urging you to visit the original sources, I mean the collections of poets themselves. A bouquet of flowers, no matter how beautiful and skillfully chosen, does not represent the gardens from which it was plucked. A stroll in these gardens, picking whatever you see as beautiful and wonderful from their flowers, and savoring their fruits, is the most wonderful and enjoyable. I have named this book A Dictionary of Pearls of Poetry - The Most Beautiful and Famous Verses - knowing that "fame" and "portability" are almost synonymous in the world of literature. Every famous verse is beautiful, and most beautiful verses of poetry are famous. The criteria for "fame" are many, including frequent recitation of a verse, its repetition by people, its mention in literary books, or scholars' explicit declaration of its fame. As for the criteria of “beauty,” the most important are the quality of meaning, purity of expression, quality of style, and ease of pronunciation. We have endeavored to include the most famous and beautiful of Arabic literature, knowing that the famous or beautiful poetry that the Arabs said would require many volumes to collect.
