| Summary: | The present paper discusses Abū Tammām’s and Buḥturī’s frequent plaints about Time or the times and aims at demonstrating the conventionality and rhetoricity of their grievances and at highlighting their contribution to the shaping and growth of this poetic theme. Special attention is paid to how such plaints fit within the overall structures of their poems, especially eulogies. Rather than being an expression of genuine dismay at the corruption of their times, the two poets’ recurrent blame of Time or the times was a literary convention mostly meant to convey material anxiety. |
