■ ❧ Ottoman Poetry ☙

"Love is all that truly exists in the world;
Knowledge is merely idle talk and debate.."

(Fuzûlî, 1480-1556) #poem #poet #poetry #love
An Ottoman miniature depicting a young man kneeling gracefully. He holds a rose delicately in his hand, symbolizing beauty and refinement. The figure wears a traditional light blue robe, accented with an orange shawl draped over his shoulders. His head is adorned with a yellow cap wrapped with a white turban, adding an elegant touch to his attire. A patterned sash around his waist holds a small leather pouch and a dagger, reflecting the clothing style and accessories of the period. In the background, a simple natural setting is portrayed, while a cat sits nearby, gazing up at the man. The miniature exemplifies the intricate style and symbolism characteristic of Ottoman art.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”
