Symbolic Colors and Synaesthesia in Mehdi Akhavan Saless’s Imagery

In literature and in poetry in specific, synaesthesia and colors imagery are of significant value and help the creation of literary works. Since time immemorial, color, as the most pictorial sense, has been of interest for human beings, who have been impressed and infatuated with its power and magic. Moreover, color is an element with undeniably fancy function for everyone everywhere forever. In every culture, some colors represent the manners, the wishes and the innermost feelings of the people, and the colors in the flag of every country represent them to some extent. Today, colors are considered to be the most constituent element in artistic creation; they bring tranquility and they make the world decorated. The poets also rely on colors to express their sensibility and feelings, and use them as vital in their imagery, so that the kind of relation they discover between the occasions and the things around themselves is sometimes through colors.
