Waris Shah and William Shakespeare-the Poets of Passion Kaneez Fatima Syeda

Abstract

A poet is a person who more often than not looks beyond the barriers of time and space. The hallmark of pure poetry is the height of imagination; imagination which generates vision. Vision is the insight to see beyond the concrete, the physical. The journey from physical to metaphysical shapes the focus of the poets to say the unsaid and unsay able with quite ease. This marks the universality in art. The suppression of art is not a new phenomenon. The powerful and civilized have always used the tools of 
civilization to colonize the ever sounding universal thought on one hand whereas erected  barriers  between the vision and universal art to mark the superiority of their self on the other.
