A literary criticism of the book "Mural" by Mahmoud Darwish is presented. Topics discussed include chronicling a poet's for facing death with rhythms of freedom for different forms of enlightenment that a person may inhabit when facing life's end. It mentions that Mural responds with an ethical striving, guided by a principle Darwish calls evanescence. It also informs about language imbuing literary Arabic poetry in its modernizing quest beyond human perception.
