05The occasion of the poem and its general atmosphere

  • The poet fell ill after a love that failed, and the illness prolonged.
  • His friends advised him to go to al-Maks, a suburb of Alexandria: the refreshing sea air, the dry desert breeze and the quiet of the suburbs.
  • There he did not find a cure; he found the loneliness of distance on top of the pains of love and illness.
  • This spread sadness in his heart and dyed the world in his eyes with a dark colour.
  • Out of that he wrote his poem "The Evening".
  • General atmosphere: gloom, pain, exile and confusion, and he makes nature share his feeling.
