Abstract

This study examines the representation of rain and spring images in poetry, basically in Ibn-Zaydoon's and Wordsworth’s selected poems. This study relies on the analytical and theoretical aspects of Parallelism theory of the American School of Comparative Literature. It focuses on studying “the idea of similarities in humanity’s social and historical evolution, which means harmony in the process of literary development” (Enani, 2005, p. 42). The study is also based on the analytical approaches of Russian Formalism that focuses on studying “Similes, metaphors, structures, ironies, rhymes, and symbols” (Bressler, 2011, p. 49). The significance of the study is to introduce a comparative study between two poets whose languages, religions, and traditions are different. Ibn-Zaydoon and Wordsworth represent nature as the perfect place for pleasure, peace, and tranquility. These two poets glorify spring and rain specifically and their psychological influences on humankind.
