The poet

"I like not to compose poetry except what comes to my mind, and to compose only in the way I want, not what people want for me, and to please my eyes only with the sight of the flowers that I plant with my own hands in my garden. If God decrees a status for me in life, I will not owe it to anyone." Other than me, her pride will only be due to me alone, and I do not allow anyone - whoever he may be - to raise me up. Rather, I must raise myself up myself." "The Poet" is one of the classics of literature, that literary production that takes us back to the creativity of past eras, but in a smooth, modern image, so that we can sail into the past with the oar of the future. As Al-Manfaluti accompanies us in this literary expanse, we notice his Arabization of foreign novels, as if their events were taking place on our own land. He draws inspiration from the spirit of the novel and then expresses it with an authentic Arab spirit that touches the reader''s soul and conscience.
