Abstract

Poetry is the art of playing with words. The aim of the poet of Divan, who is the biggest performer of this art, is to create a new play on an old stage with an old text. Therefore the poet uses his all power of ruling over words and in this system he gives all words a new, unusual role. Using all his power, the poet presents his work with the humour of “it’s now stronger and nicer” by re-staging the similar subjects which are told for decades. In this study, depending on some couplets including “bowl”, “Kâse-i Fağfûr” , of which lexical meanings are “bowl”, “Chinese porcelain bowl” , it will be determined how and why the Divan poets used these words and by mentioning the symbolic dimension of these terms the power of poem and poet will be tried to put forward.

Keywords

Bowl, Chinese porcelain bowl, Divan poetry, symbol.
