Abstract:
Naturally , man loves nature and likes to enjoy it to add to his delight happiness , hope , tranquility , satisfactian and smile. Therefore , beauty is necessary to complete his essential needs without which he can not live happily and to help him bear his being and do things. Beauty arouses optimism and sense of communication and makes our life full and perfect intellectually and socially. Thus , it is a distinguishing sign between developed and underdeveloped societies. Man is also used to abandon all that may disturb felicity of his life. During his search for sources about the different times of the Andulsian era , the researcher found out great interest in those aspects of life that recalled painful sad memories of grief and distress. As examples of such studies , we may notice : Sari Mohammad Al - Samadi "Sadness in the Andulsian Poetry in the Fifth Hijri century " M.A. Thesis , Yarmuk University , Jordan , 1990 ; Baseem Abd Al - Adheem Abd Al - Qadir " Poetry of Captivity and lmprisonment in Andulsia " Ph. D. Dissertation , Ein Shams University ,1994 ; Abd Al - Lateef Mahmood Majeed " war poetry in Andulsia From Conquer to Collapse of the Khilafa " M, A. Thesis , Mustansiriya University , 1987 ; Fawaz Ahmed Muhammad Al - Taei " lmage of the Foreign Enemy in the Andulsian Poetry in the Fifth Hijri Century " M.A. Thesis , Mosul University , 2002 ; Ibraheem Abd Wehayib " Poetry of Calamity in Andulsia From Establishment of Al - Muwahadeen State till Collapse of Bani Al - Ahmar State " M.A. Thesis , lmam Muhammad Bin Sauood lslamic University , 1984. There were also the studies of different types of elegy that also evoked sadness. The researcher had not found a study or a research either directly or indirectly that tackled feelings of joy , delight or happiness or that described the Andulsians as happy , glad and optimistic people living in a peaceful beautiful place that gave them satisfaction and entertainment. As a result , the researcher attempted , in this study , to investigate the reasons behind the smile , happiness , delight and gaiety of the Andulsisns by studying the different aspects of their life that their poets depicted. The aim was to study the features of delight in the Andulsian poetry from the conquer till end of Al - Tawaif (cults) era. This period was selected for study because of the very little disturbance that eccurred during it. The study made use of many sources of language , literatare , history , psychology and religion in addition to biographies and it included an lntroduction , five chapters , conclusions , bibliograghy and abstract in Arabic. ln the introduction , the linguistic and semantic meanings of delight and its synonymes were highlighted. Chapter one describes nature as the purest and most inspirong factor of motivation for poets. The Andulsian poets chanted for nature and , in turn , it presented to them happiness , pleasure , gaiety and ecstasy. That was reflected in the way they brightly coloured their images and meanings with delight and call for entertainment and happiness. Chaptr two showed how the Andulsian poets admired the charming , tender and beautiful Andulsian woman who created smile , enjoyment , hope and radiance and who was the real motivator of delight and happiness that every Andulsian was looking for. Chaptr three reviewed delight in the parties of the Andulsian Artists where we could notice different activities of literature , singing or drinking. Those parties documented the cultural , social and psychological aspects of the Andulsan society and the way the Andulsian people used to entertain themselves. The Andulsian people were relaxed and gentle with the smile always covering their faces with gaiety , humour and happiness. Chapter four studied delight in both religous and secular occassions and celebrations of the Andulsians and shed light on the inherited habits and customes that they adopted to delight them. There were those poets who were keen to establish and deepen these traditions in the Andulsian heritage. Some periods in history were brihgt and full of happiness and tranquility that all people looked for to enjoy and refine the soul. Chapter five identified the prominent artistic characteristics of poetry of delight in Andulsian as far as language , style , imagery and music were concerred. As for language and style , the researcher picked out the words that expressed delight and discussed some linguistic styles the poets used to express delight. As for imagery , the researcher referred to the different models (same of them were new) that the Andulsian poets used to show delight. ln the artistic musical side. the researcher noticed that poetry of delight had music of very high taste which reflected the state of the poet within the very atmospheres that motivated delight , tranquility and psychological relax. Finally , study of delight in Andulsian poetry was determined by the condition of the poet which was an outcome of the events. Thus , it was not out of the motivators of happiness and gaiety to attain hope. Man is a group of feelings of both happiness and sadness and happiness is the origin because it is the closest to the innate psyche of the human.
