Abstract

The simultaneous use of several aesthetic elements in speech is a phenomenon that has a long history in the Persian language it is mentioned with these titles "Conflict of images", "Disturbing images" and .... This is considered inappropriate and reduces the originality of the poem because it increases the volume of the images in the text beyond its linguistic capacities, but in Hafez's poetry, many verses can be found in which, despite the simultaneous use of several rhetorical elements in illustration, not only has there not been a conflict of images; Rather, due to the convergence of the images, the meaning of the multi-layered bit and its beauty and imagination have increased In addition, two symmetrical images are finally created, which are not visible at first glance. This rhetorical art in Hafez's poetry, which we have called the "symmetry of images" in the face of the term antagonism of images, has escaped the view of Hafez's rhetoricians and commentators; Hafez has received so much attention that it can be considered as one of his stylistic features. Of course, the extraction of the above-mentioned rhetorical-expressive elements, separately or in duplicate in a verse, has a long history in Hafez's poetry; But this is the first time that their combined form has been introduced as a prism that has at least four side and eventually forms two parallel images.
