Abstract:
It was required, the full knowledge of the content of the message tagged with: The Talali Speech in pre-Islamic poetry flip-flops between paganism and clinging to life. Talk was extended about the phenomenon of paganism and its multi-faces, as well as aspects of its manifestations in the environment of the Arabian Peninsula during Ignorance Era. That was due to the deep instinctive feeling inherent in the people, of the existence of supernatural powers managing the universe. The human mind attempted to know that reality. So, when he was unable to imagine it, he sought in hard work for the sake of it. He followed hypotheses, statutes, rites and rituals imposed by the heavenly and secular religions and this was as a first part of the message.
As for its second part, it was represented and manifested by the clinging to life. Hence, we should take note of the mental nature of the people of the Arabian Peninsula to get an idea of their political specificities of that age concept, and those social ones indicated by their poetry, exhibited by the fossils, and appeared in literature historians’ books from their non-comprehension of science and non-understanding of philosophy, because of their pride to their own language, and knowledge of the various ideas were all the result of the experience. They had also known so many beliefs, of which paganism was the most apparent (shown).
Being armed with psychology was the most important cornerstones in recent studies that have influenced literature and pushed it a new launch due to he link between the poet and himself. This has led meditation in poetry to reveal the poets’ look to the existence, and hence the detection of mysteries of souls’ (hearts’) clung to life, eager to eternal immortality, leading poets to follow an approach almost worshiped, starting by mentioning the homes, to be coloured by the colour of life. As there were supporters who advocated the approach, there were also refuters (naysayers) or “Falahs” as was called in Talali poetry, the result of concerns imposed a reality that befuddled poets, and the researchers’ views differed; The Talali standing, was considered to be the place of meeting to some, images irritating the memory to others, an artistic tradition to some others and as a result of a vacuum or an emotional state to another fourth team. And this, in all cases, offers a vivid picture of life about the Arab during the Ignorance Era (=Pre-Islam); including the disclosure of a strained relationship between the poet and the existence, and the testing of the judiciary, the final end, and the finiteness, in addition to psychological codes. The field remains open for the human mind to be guided to what is beyond these assumptions, to stand on the fact raking the Talali (discourse) poets of the wilderness, and the remains of homes, hoping for their interrogation, expecting help from idols and statues that ensure their immortality for their clinging and love to life, to preserve balances of life resulting from the mind influenced by the teachings of their faith. They were not pleased by talk only after they have questioned the ruins showing weakness in front of them, and their bewilderment increased when they were convinced by the attachment of their values to a hidden power. This thinking led them to drift toward idolatry, due to two factors; mental and religious. The view of the Talali (discourse) speech person differed to the solids which represented to him the desired consistency and stability from the view to the living beings (organisms) endangered of extinction like him. So, he linked between their existence and his existence, faithful to them, after that contradiction cemented in his consciousness between the mortality of his existence (physical presence) and immortality of the physical (material) existence which provided him with something of fun, but that did not preserve from death. and then his sorry weeping (crying) towards the earth and its ruins (stones), and to the sky and its stars, and the frequent employment of objects, and his standing in front of the remains of homes and stones, the home stream, and the firestones, only a proof of paganism idea nesting in his mind, his quest to cling to life, the request for immortality in different ways, and the “remain” became equivalent to the aging poet threatening entity.
And Imrou Kais was the best to represent the Talali Speech poets. The fair (just) critics proved, from indications, what infused his poetry the characteristic of immortality, and gave him the ability to adhere to the hearts and minds together, what is left in human beings of good taste.
