Synopsis

Clinton Scollard (1860-1932) made several trips to the Levant that inspired both his prose poetic works. The book Songs of a Syrian Lover (1912) reveals his interest for the East and belongs specifically to the movement of English Rubáiyát: the Quatrains of Omar Khayyam became very popular thanks to Edward FitzGerald's translation and influenced many authors. But far from bacchanalian songs, Scollard poems are closer to the Song of Songs with the celebration of the beloved woman and the passion for her. The English text in this edition is accompanied by a double translation, one in French by Maryse Salmon and Olivier Salmon, and the other in Arabic by Hussein I. El-Mudarris and Oussama Shammo, illustrated by Nour Halwany’s drawings.Clinton Scollard (1860-1932), auteur américain, effectua plusieurs voyages au Levant qui l’inspirèrent aussi bien pour ses ouvrages en prose, relations de voyages et nouvelles, que pour son œuvre poétique. Le recueil Songs of a Syrian Lover (1912) révèle ce goût pour l’Orient, et s’inscrit plus particulièrement dans le mouvement des English Rubáiyát : les Quatrains d’Omar Khayyâm devenus très populaires grâce à la traduction d’Edward FitzGerald influencèrent en effet de nombreux auteurs. Mais loin des chansons bachiques, les poèmes de Scollard se rapprochent davantage du Cantique des cantiques par la célébration de la bien-aimée et de l’amour sublime qui lui est porté. Le texte en anglais présenté dans cette édition est accompagné d’une traduction française par Maryse Salmon et Olivier Salmon, ainsi que d’une traduction arabe réalisée par Hussein I. El-Mudarris et Oussama Shammo, illustrée des dessins de Nour Halwany.
