Abstract | الملخص

This study highlights the iconic prevalence of the “The Horse” in a semiotic analysis of Amal Donqol’s poetry. The referential relationship between sign and signifier as exemplified in tactile, olfactory and sound symbolism will be a major focus of the paper. Horses have a special significance in Donqol’s ouvert; their tropes and phrases will be studied and explored in terms of iconography and intersexuality. In addition, Donqol’s poetry reinforces the use of the horse’s iconography in the poem’s thematic, body, as well as title. The effectiveness of the semiotic significance of this symbolism, as well as the historical, and religious references of the iconography as a whole, shall be widely explored.
