Repetition in poetry is one of the most important techniques technique in stylistics. The poets have long been aware of the importance of creating works of art and its impact on the reader. Undoubtedly, repetition is closely related to the author of the text; the author attempts to visualize his ideas and feelings through this technique.

In the contemporary era, poet use vague and indirect speech due to complexity of poetic concepts and use devices such as mask. Mask is a technique which has ambiguity in itself. This technique which is mostly based on the use of historical figures is used to express views or denounce the shortcomings of the time. Structurally, the mask is to a large extent related to symbol and myth and elements of drama including internal dialogue. Abdulaziz Al-Maqaleh used this technique in order to make the people of his own land aware of the oppressive ruling system and disguised himself under the mask of the Noah. "Selection of Noah’s speech After the storm" is the first ode in which the poet has used the technique of mask. This paper uses analytical and descriptive method in order to investigate how the poet has made use of this technique. The researcher used the criteria of the dramatic monologue, mask and face, and progressive and descending approaches. The results are as followed: in associated with the fragility of mask, the poet used defamiliarization in order to add the characteristics of the contemporary age into historical figures and make relation between these two figures. The mask and the face are not separated in this ode but also move in one direction till the end of the ode and sometimes mask prevails the face. The poet uses dramatic monologue in this ode, although the words used in the speech are in contrast with this internal dialogue.

Verbal simile in the Quranic verses are similar to the verses that are most similar to each other and only few differ. These differences are diverse and one of them is the difference in the letters of meanings. This article attempts to examine the causes of this rhetoric through analysis and description. The results show that these differences are wise and purposeful and the similarity in the elements of these verses by no means is the reason of them being synonymous. On the contrary, these differences represent a rhetorical miracle in these verses causing these differences to be of two types verbal and virtual. The verbal type is being proportional to the preceding words, proportionate to the verses of each verse and proportion to the adjacent words in each. However, the virtual differences lie in the different positions of each, different addressee, practicality of one them, the need for emphasis on one, diversity, the requirement to connect in one and separate in another, and the requirement of abbreviation in one and detail in the other.
