Abstract

The echo of love melody is still heard in the songs of the Arabic intellectual poet khalil Hawi and the legends of fairies' charm and the story of the apple of life are the most audible songs of his poems narrating the fable of early human innocence and his fall from the heaven to the earth.
The present article aims to review the psychological implications of “fairy” and “love in Hawi's songs ,since the perpetual presence of these two motifs along with the evil archetypal symbols like magician, serpent, death, grave, cave,and… in his poetry, through drawing a cryptic and tragic atmosphere, depict ambiguous imaginations which fade away under a strange shadow and confront the human mind with this question that actually from which part of the poet’s mind these strange imaginations and high imagery- which are directed downward- are originated and how the presence of the mutual dimensions of archetypal symbols in his songs are justifiable.

Keywords: love, fairy, unconscious mind, Hawi.
