  • Why did the intellectual side dominate the poets of al-Diwan? Because of their deep absorption in English philosophy and Western Romanticism, their pride in rational culture, and their attempt to deepen meanings and psychological analysis — which made the idea precede the emotion in their poetry and gave it a mental dryness.
  • Difference between the Pencil League and the Andalusian League: the Pencil League (Northern Mahjar, New York) was radically revolutionary, calling for total renewal and metrical latitude; the Andalusian League (Southern Mahjar, Brazil) was conservative, careful for the eloquent language and the inherited metres.
  • The short story is not an abridged novel: beware this widespread misunderstanding — it is an independent literary art with its own philosophy based on compression and concentration and on lighting one single point in the character's path (the moment of insight).
