![]() The authors declare no conflicts of interests. That is, Ivanov puts into practice his own concept of the “realistic” (that is, truly symbolist) type of artistic creativity. Drawing on Ivanov’s own views on the suggestive functions of the poetry of symbolism (“we, symbolists, do not exist - if there are no symbolist listeners” (“Thoughts on Symbolism”)), the authors assume that not Ivanov’s lyrical hero, but his attentive reader approaches the transcendent world over the course of two books, including through the transformation of Eternally Feminine images. It is integral and implies a certain author’s strategy as well as its conceptual aesthetic and philosophical foundations. ![]() The analysis of the collections has demonstrated that the general metaplot of theophany has an introduction and development. It is an elusive movement, a quality of the transformed world and at the same time an acting subject, signifying the appearance of Sophia in the world. Translucency is active and transforms the world, but it is not personified, devoid of a voice. The Beauty can be through ekphrasis (works by Leonardo, Botticelli, Raphael, etc.) and appear in contemplation. The first image is the central for Kormchiye zvyozdy, the second - for Prozrachnost’. In this sense, two images, the Beauty and the Translucency, can be contrasted. The anthropomorphic image of the Eternal Feminine, having its own attributes and acting as the subject of speech, loses its outlines and, as it were, dissolves into the world. Therefore, according to Russian and American historian and art theorist Mikhail Iampolski, the more accurate the mirror, “the less it reflects to us in terms of form and meaning.” The authors hypothesize that the two Ivanov’s collections of poems Kormchiye zvyozdy (19021903) and Prozrachnost’ (1904) connected by one lyrical meta-plot of mystical revelation and theophany show how the Eternal Feminine images gradually become intangible and impalpable. based on the medieval Christian theosophy: “the soul sees God in a dream, sees in a mirror and divination, and not face to face” (Bernard of Clairvaux). Theophany in this case means the manifestation of deity in a sensible form in Ivanov’s poetry, philosophical and critical essays, and diaries at different periods of his life. This article focuses on the images of the Eternal Feminine, which are pivotal in Vyacheslav Ivanov’s system of aesthetic and religious views and in the symbolic motifs of theophany connected with it. ![]() Furthermore, we will demonstrate how Nizami’s poetic treatment of the dichotomous imagery of Turk and Hindu, corresponds to the transformation of gender roles by subjugation of masculine lover to feminine love-object as observed in love-melancholy. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to trace this connection by drawing on the Galenic and Arabic medical texts on love and melancholy, and the interconnectedness of the Sanskrit and Udhri love poetry which eventually influenced Nizami and found its reverberations in the tale of Indian Princess. ![]() Upon close reading the famous tale of King of Black, we found apparent parallelisms with the literary depiction of the love-lorn king and the medical symptoms of love-melancholy. Nizami’s polymathic interests in medicine allow us to speculate that he was probably aware of this type of amorous sickness. ![]() Circulated through the Latin translation of an Arabic medical treatise on love during the medieval period studies on profane love gave rise to a specific form of melancholy, referred respectively as amor hereos, love-malady, or love-melancholy in various medico-literary texts. Although much has been written on the mystic love in Nizami’s works, the status of profane love remains somewhat neglected. If it is well received we plan to bring the full game over.As the paragon of Nizami’s five epic poems, Seven Beauties offers a cohesive picture of many variations or “colors” of love which occupies a prominent position in Nizami’s prolific oeuvre.
