He used so many symbols and hidden meanings,difficult words and so on....even now i can not read one of his poems without mistakes,....and what was share in all was they all talk about Wine & beloved! and what teachers told us was this drunkeness is holy drunkenness and beloved is also god.....in that time it was boring for most of kids.... I'm reading slowly all old text ,they are so beautiful,in form & meaning.... Maybe they used this way of talking coz of no freedom to talk loadly,some who did it was killed ,like Hallaj...that's why it became our nature somehow! Farsi is very layer language,not very direct...u can not undrestand easy what is the meaning behind the words people are saying!!seems even ordinary people have thousands of layers,coz of these centuries of hiding what we realy beliveing or thinking.....or even u can not undrestand easy if someone like something or not,want something or not,it became realy a serious problem sometimes!:)) maybe that's why i feel realy comfortable to talk and write in English sometimes,plus my limited vocabulary ,it make me feel more clear & open,more simple.... Thanks Hi Ivan:)
