Description
This article evokes several seemingly dissimilar travel experiences: that of the religious pilgrim, the lover's visit, and the hero's trek across the desert, and builds on the assumption that it is possible to discern the similarities between them from their poetic discourse. Not only because all three types of voyages represent recurrent themes in Medieval Arab poetry, but chiefly because the prospect of travel forces the traveler to confront a higher power that jeopardizes the journey's completion. The hero sets out on the journey in spire of its apparent unfeasibility (mumtani'); the lover does not cease to visit his beloved even though his visits are forbidden (mamnu'a); the mystic embarks on peregrinations despite lacking essential travel provisions; and the pilgrim's desire to travel to Mecca persists even after completing the pilgrimage. **********
