Gol O Bolbol Rug, 1940s

The rose alone served as a literary metaphor for perfection and beauty and was able to represent the (secular or spiritual) lover or the prince, while the sweet singing nightingale could represent lovers or the poet. The flowers and nightingale are together the types of the lover and the lover par excellence; The flowers are beautiful, proud and often cruel (flowers can sometimes have thorns), while the nightingale constantly sings about their longing and devotion.
