    In his Beautifying the Ugly and Uglifying the Beautiful ( Taḥsīn al-qabīḥ wa-taqbīḥ al-ḥasan ) the prolific anthologist al-Thaʿālibī (d. 429/1038) offers a thematically arranged selection of Arabic poems and prose anecdotes or sayings with contrary or paradoxical purport, such as praise of miserliness, boredom, sickness, and death, or condemnation of generosity, intelligence, youth, and music.
