Abstract

The senses are the window of the organism to the outside world, and there is no doubt that they are all necessary for the connection of the organism with the world, especially the human being, and they are necessary in preparing the human being to enjoy the aesthetics of things to varying degrees. Sensory perceptions are one of the most important characteristics that distinguish pre-Islamic poetry in general, and the poetry of Antara bin Shaddad in particular, Antara was a tasteful poet, sensitive sense, conveying the pulse of life around him with great skill, do not feel with it the cost of workmanship. In this research, I highlight the employment of Antara for the senses in selected models of his poetry (within the limits of the rhyme of Hamza, Baa and Taa), which meet the purpose in terms of quantity and quality. Through research, it was found that Antara employed the sense of sight in portraying Abla's beauty and grace, He employed the sense of hearing in monitoring his complaint of the pain of separation and his nostalgia for Abla, as well as the sense of touch, in explaining the impact of that pain on his body and heart. He also employed the sense of smell in memorizing the fragrant scents that come from Abla's side. The importance of this study is that it highlights the most important artistic and aesthetic features in the poet's sensory photography.
