Aesthetic Principles of the Beloved's Face in Homam Tabrizi's Sohbatnameh

Imagery and image creation is one of the techniques to avoid the clichéd and ordinary language and enter the realm of ambiguous literary language. Homam as a great Persian poet, utilizing artistic imagination and colorful imagery, has managed to express several referents in a single sign and create a novel poetic sphere. Profound studies of such examples of imagery familiarize us with some artistic values and rhetorical beauties. In this study, using “expressive” means, we have measured the quality and quantity of Homam Tabrizi’s image creation in Masnavi-e-Sohbatnameh, pictured by the beloved’s face, and analyzed his imagery devices.
