THE VIEW OF POET AND ART ENVIRONMENT IN ENDERUNLU VÂSIF’S DIWAN
In this study, it is aimed to determine the words and phrases used in exchange for the poet, the poetical features he wants to be in a poet, his metaphors about the poet and his views of the society he lives in, based on the poetic strings in Enderunlu Vâsıf’s Divan. Vâsıf mentions his opinions and thoughts about the poet in the Divan, mainly in the compliment (fahriye) sections of his odes (kaside) and pseudonym (mahlas) couplets (beyit) of his lyrics (gazel). When the relevant verses are examined within the scope of the subject, it is seen that Vâsıf tries to draw a portrait of a poet based on his own poetical features. According to his poetics, some of the characteristics that a poet should have are: his ability to be a poet, to have reason and comprehension, to have original and miraculous discourse, to grasp quickly, to be a master in poetry, to have skill, wisdom and say with inspiration and inspiration. Vâsıf likened his poetry to elements such as “scholar, merchant, rose garden, wrestler, sultan, nightingale, Bihzad, Rüstem” He also expressed some of the features of the poet, such as "fluent, beautiful and harmonious utterance, sweet language" through these elements. Vâsıf made evaluations about some poets who lived in their own period and in the previous period, such as “Nef‘î, Nedim, Münîf, Es’ad, Râsih, Sırrî” and made important determinations about the society's view of art. These determinations and evaluations of Vâsıf provide important data for the studies which will be done for the determination of similar and different aspects of the poetical view of classical poetry.
