| Abstract The realm of poetry is wide enough to gather together the threads which bind humanity and establish its reunion. One of those threads is the human future which preoccupies poets, the “unacknowledged legislators of the human history”, to quote Shelley here. Apocalyptic visions overstep the cultural and religious differences and become a universal concern since they seem to spring from one source and aim at the same objective. This study is an attempt to shed light on some apocalyptic visions visualized by poets who belong to various ages and cultures. It shows that these visions are employ- ed to dramatize those attempts which seek to uncover the vague human future. | ||
