Abstract
Goblet and Gazels With The Word “Goblet” Following The Rhyme in Divan Literature
The ‘glass’/ ‘cup’ is one of the notable elements in the
world of analogies and is featured in the imagination of
Divan poems. A glass is identified as a container or vessel
which is used for drinking liquids, and is crafted in special
shapes or from objects. The ‘glass’ is mentioned in a variety
of ways in Divan poems related to decriptions of their
shapes, colors, and the quality of liquids that it contains.
The poets of the Divan genre usually liken the red wine
glass to the lips of a beloved and remarks on intoxication.
Likewise, the glass is often likened to roses, buds and tulips
through its shape and colour. İt is also analogous to the sun
and moon through its shine and its passing from hand to
hand-like the cycle of the day.
The poems, in which the glass is often used, are the odes
that feature the glass as a repeated voice in Divans. The
wide range of its analogous or symbolic usage in these
remarkable odes are high lighted in this paper. The
selection of the poetry is drawn from different centuries
and is comprehensive.
