Two Colored Glaze

In this book, Annemarie Schimmel provides a comprehensive introduction to the complex and multifaceted system of rhetoric and imagery used by poets in Persia, Ottoman, and Muslim India. It shows that these images, which have been used for centuries, have become perfect over time and reflect the changing conditions in the Islamic world. According to Schimmel, Iranian literature is rooted in the rules of the language and adheres to its traditions, not trying to be too personal. Ideally, each perfectly composed line should be like a rare multi-faceted stone and be able to reflect the dynamic relationship between the reality of daily life and the abstract. Schimmel shows that Iranian literature essentially transforms the world into a network of symbols embedded in Islamic culture.
