Adonis… pulls the place from its time… and the words from their sources… for the place is a stage in the history of Arab memory, and the words are the words of Al-Mutanabbi… he narrates them… he narrates some of what Al-Mutanabbi experienced, what terrified him, and what he formulated… with his sufferings, his words, and the magic of eloquence that is revealed in the flavor of symbolism, or the hint of allusion in the fabric of the phrase, Adonis will imagine his state adorned with a state, and he repeats that hell. With a simple expression. Illuminated by what he said, he traces the light to the book’s peaks, beginning with the dust to begin with what is unanimously agreed upon… that founding year: eleven Hijri. Adonis proceeds to narrate from a memory that gives birth to words and is born within it, that gives birth to things and is born within it, knowing no boundary between past and present.
