In the idolatry age, the saracen poet was drowned in the
environmentaldesertand nature. The naturefilled his soul, spiritand all
his existence and busied his thought, affection and imagination,
therefore the idolatry literature, which is the fruit of his thought,
imagination and affection, has the colour of the desert. Therefore,the
writingthat you have in hands is called: "Naturalphenomena in the
divan of Aswad ben Yacfur"So that it demanslratespoet"s intelligence
and present mind and pictures his subtle sentment and precise
awareness.
