NECATI BEY'S “ROSE” RHYMED PRAISE OF THE HUMAN-NATURE RELATIONSHIP / NECÂTÎ BEY’İN “GÜL” REDİFLİ KASÎDESİNDE İNSAN-TABİAT İLİŞKİSİ

Abstract

The aim of this research is to evaluate the nature and human relation in classic poems by showing an example of 16th Century poet Fuzuli’s “Gül” ode, written by Necati Bey. The harmony of nature with humans and humans with nature, the “combination of human and nature” is evaluated Divan poets did not give perceptible accounts of nature, putting humans in the center of nature and had come to see humans from that point of view. The poets following this school had converted the human element to a materialist view. Necati Bey has turned this into an abstract identity. Necati bey is a master poet who combines human with nature and nature with human. Both contemporary and other poets follow Necati Bey’s way and take his poems as inspiration. Like Necati Bey’s poems, other Divan poets have the same features of the nature and human relation. However, interpretation of the text sample, contributes to the understanding of the text and comments about other poets. The connection between nature and man, the delicacy that is attached to art poetry, and the bond established between matter and meaning are shown in the sample couplets selected from the Rose. This article strives to reach the meaning layers of the text by using contemporary methods while remaining faithful to the classical subject of understanding and interpreting poems
