Quranic intertextuality and it’s special function in the Adonis’ poetic style

Every human being is generally affected by thoughts, ideas, and schools in his intellectual, mental, and even emotional process. Quran, as the richest work of the Arabic language, has always been under the attention of literary men, poets, and ideologists. Adonis – the most remarkable poet of Arabic contemporary literature – is a figure whose poems are replete with the impressibility of ideas and various currents, including Islamic mysticism; and since Islamic mysticism has been always related firmly to Quran and the mystic spiritual contemplations is rooted from Quran’s illuminations, this issue has caused a radical alteration in his attitude. On the other hand, close relationship between poetry and thinking as well as the reflection of beliefs and mental philosophy in the poet’s experience is another factor in his impressibility of Quran – even of its literature and expression. Generally, however, Adonis’ particular attitude towards Quran and the glorious structure that he has made by his creativity in the intertextuality of Quran have distinguished him from the other contemporary poets who have used intertexuality in their works.
