Görsel bir imaj ve mekân metaforunun kaynağı olarak bahar
Bahâr as a Source of Visual Image and Space Metaphor

Summary/Abstract: The word “bahâr” (spring), which corresponds to a season in its widespread use, corresponds to the meanings of flowers, leaves, faces, and cheeks in classical Turkish poetry, as well as put, temple, and church. The quest to express a visual depiction is conspicuous in this wide variety of uses of the word. It can be said that the elements of beauty in classical Turkish poetry arise from the reflections of a space aesthetic. When we look at the equivalent of "bahâr" in the lexicon and its use in sample texts, it will be seen that the word is actually a concept expressing the place, but gradually transformed into another semantic form that shows similar features to the qualities of that place. It can be said that the presence of pictures and idols in churches as in temples caused these places to be expressed with the word spring in classical Turkish literature. When a visual image is desired to be highlighted in poems, it is seen that the church (deyr) is used as a metaphor for the expression of the outer space due to the pictures and decorations it has.
