Syria has suffered in the ancient history of the many conflicts that have at home, and
represents a conflict between the Persian Empire and the Byzantine Empire one of the most
important and longest of these conflicts that have to control the most
important cities such
as Damascus and Edessa and Akadds.othml Arabs living there the horrors of those
conflicts and suffered a lot, the Persian Empire has taken Arabs in Iraq Manathira shield
shielding them Byzantines attacks as well as from the Byzantines took Ghassanid living in
Syria shield shielding them Persians attacks and have been associated with them Bohlav
and treaties. This situation continued until the Muslim conquest of Syria where he entered
in the first Arab-Islamic state.
This paper examines W.B. Yeats’s “Sailing to Byzantium” (1927)
and William Blake’s “London” (1794) from a deconstructive critical
perspective. Though the two poems belong to two different ages in the
history of English poetry—the former is modern
while the latter
romantic—both can be quintessential examples of deconstructive
criticism.
The paper begins by discussing the meaning and significance of
deconstruction in modern critical theory. It reveals to the reader an
overview of deconstruction as a theory of reading texts. The paper,
moreover, proceeds to examine how deconstruction can illuminate the
above-mentioned poems by analysing their verbal contradictions in terms
of meaning and structure. Under the scrutiny of deconstruction, these
characteristics ultimately uncover the instability of literary language and
meaning. This deconstructive reading of the two texts will allow the
reader to gain a better understanding not only of the two poems but also
of deconstruction as a literary theory.
