THE LOVE MOTIV IN UZRIT POETS AND HEINRICH HEINE POETRY

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research is a comparative analysis of Uzrit and Heine's lyrics and, apropos, to examine the reasons and common factors of two literatures, one in the desert and the other in Europe. By analyzing the poems of Mağnūn and Ğamīl, on the one hand, and Heine, on the other, we are proving very close themes of love, as well as of poetic "pessimism." The poem Der Asra by the poet Heine was influenced by Arab Uzrit poets. It is found as the 15th song in Heine's series Poems and Ballads, and was composed in the period around 1845-1846. The Asra Poem is about the Uzrites, and Heine found inspiration for it in Arabic anecdotes about Uzrit love, which he read in Stendhal's famous book On Love (De l'amor, 1822). The basic theme for Uzrit poet is love, a woman, one and only woman who has captured his heart. That woman is the materialization of all poet’s desires, goals, and aspirations. She is the center of his singing, and not just singing, she is the center of the poet’s world. And Heine's lover is lonely, he longs,and it is a longing for distance, he personified his longing in a lonely pine tree in the north, which is longing for a palm tree that is far away, somewhere in the east, in the sands of the desert.
