| Abstract | ||
| ...Abstract... Elegiac poetry is thought to be an original theme that is derived from “Ratha, Rathwa and Rathiya), all denoting commemorating and praising the qualities of a deceased. Scholars, are considered a recurrent theme in the modern Omani elegiac poetry. The current research tackles examples of this theme in the modern Omani poetry through explicating them according to the “thematic approach” which investigates the “theme” or ‘recurrent idea’ in his/ her poetry. It, moreover, provides an opportunity to identify and explicate these texts to reformulate them within his/ her perception and realization of the interwoven relationships and inter-textual meanings in the way threads of various colours and fabrics are dovetailed to make an embroidered dress that reflects his/ her taste. The research manipulates nine elegiac poems by four Omani contemporary poets commemorating four modern Omani scholars. The theme in their individual poems has deep symbolic expression of the need to the higher self. These themes included alienation, symbolism, blindness and the lost kingdom, that is a special theme that does not only commemorate the deceased and praise his/ her qualities but exceeds to take hold of matters with great social depth pertaining humans ,religion, political life and society as well. The elegy poet takes the commemorated as a symbol of a noble national cause significant for his/ her higher self, casting some of his spiritual insight revealing, then, a real predicament the poet still bitterly suffers. He/ she is eager to solve this predicament through a series of neatly interwoven thematic signals that yoke form in an integrated poem altogether with diversity of styles and interrelated ideas. | ||
