Abstract
Living in desert and not being permanently settled in one place have been the poetic features of the pagan Arab poets, especially Imro Al-Qais; The factor that has caused this movement and dynamism to be considered as a dominant element in their poetry, so that there has always been a kind of metamorphosis in their poetry along with the passage of time. In Imro Al-Qais’s Muallaqa, which is considered to be the foremost of ignorant poetry, parallel movement occurs in his poetry and becomes an effective element in the pictorial structures of the poem and also an important factor in its advancement, so that it can be claimed this dynamic element is the most important mortar of the coherence and continuity in his components of Muallaqa. An element that is born of the poet's realistic approach and his sensory view of nature and the result of his life balanced with the world around him. An inward-outward movement that originates from his inner feelings, gradually expands it into his out world, and finally connects the pulse of his romances to the paradigm shift of nature in the final images of the poem. In this way, the images of movement become an important and prominent element in the literary image of Imro Al-Qais's poet. The present study, which has been done in a descriptive-analytical manner and with the aim of creating a new look at illustration in the Imro Al-Qais’s Muallaqa, seeks to answer the question of what structures provided dynamic images in his poetry and how these structures achieve a general picture of movement and life were they effective in this poem? This study shows that the image of motion in the Imro Al-Qais’s Muallaqa is the result of the active presence of static and dynamic structures such as linguistic, rhetorical narrative components and also effective elements of time and place that referred to as structures images or pictorial structures. Structures that sometimes independently and sometimes in interaction with each other have made the general image of movement in his poetry stand out.
