Popis: In all aspects of religious, literary, and mythical manifestations, imagination has the metaphysical power to work against decay, death, and fate. Gilbert Durand believes that revolt against death on the one hand and controlling it on the other, are the two sides of a coin. He believes that the issue of time lies behind this mental image. Accordingly, he divides imagination into Day and Night system. Undoubtedly, a poet is the best agent to show these issues in the form of literary images. Since “Blood and Soil” has bipolar images, the aim of this study is to examine these images according to Dorand’s theory, and to find the answer to this question: to which system do the most distinct images in the poetry of Nasrolah Mardani belong? The overall result reflects the fact that the poet mostly is inclined to Day system of imagination, with a positive evaluation; it shows that, in his imagination, Mardani has moderated the image of death and removed the terror from it.
