Wordsworth's Romanticism in the Light of the Poem “Munajat Arwah” of Khalil Gibran: A Study

Abstract

Literature has a long history, and it shows that many writers and thinkers have helped start, develop, enrich, and bring about major changes or literary catalysts in the genre they work in. Not only do they start a new trend, but they also create a completely new way of writing, often against all odds and expectations. They change the way literature is written now and in the future. Gibran A famous writer, Khalil Gibran (1883–1931), owned such a thing. He is praised for his work as a novelist, philosopher, poet, and artist. Gibran In spite of being born in Lebanon, Khalil Gibran lived most of his life in the United States. He learned about the ideas of English Romanticism while living there. Wordsworth, Blake, Shelley, and Keats were some of the most famous Romantic poets. It was because of him and his later work with the Ar-rabitah group of AL-Mahjer poets that Arabic Romanticism began, which was a reaction against Arabic neoclassical poetry. People say that Romanticism is the return to nature. The poet's mind is affected by nature, and nature responds to the poet's mind in a way that is coloured by imagination. In this way, nature becomes a major theme in the poems of William Wordsworth, who is known as the founder of English Romanticism and a literary legend. One important way that Wordsworth's love of nature shows itself is in the way he insisted on shifting the focus from city life to country life. Gibran also felt the same way about this shift, filled with nostalgia and regret for how factory smoke had changed country life. Gibran writes about nature in a way that is a lot like Wordsworth's in his famous book Munajat Arwah (Communion of Spirits), which came out in 1914. As a result, this poem is used to show how the English Romantic poet shaped Gibran's vision of nature's beauty as superior to life in cities, which is filled with pollution and waste. In this study, we will also do our best to find ways that Gibran Khalil and William Wordsworth, who started Arabic and English Romanticism, wrote about nature in ways that are similar. This essay is mostly about Gibran's well-known poem Munajat Arwah. This essay is mostly about Gibran's well-known poem Munajat Arwah. In the way that Wordsworth thought and spoke, the poem praises the superiority of nature over city life.
