Descriptions
The late Mohammad Ali Haghighat Semnani was always engaged in studying and research, especially during his retirement. He had an immense love for his homeland, Iran. His book on the nationalization of oil and the victory of Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh, whose staunch follower he was, is the result of his many years of hard work. Throughout most of his life, he took every opportunity to collect Persian Poetry Proverbs; and finally published a book under the same title (Persian Poetry Proverbs). This book, some of whose proverbs have been used in speeches by great literary figures, politicians, and Iranian scholars, has gained a special status and has been well-received by professors and researchers.
Professor Mohammad Ali Islami Nadushan, in the preface of this book titled 'Iran in the Mirror of its Proverbs', writes: "Generally, one of the sources of literary masterpieces in our language, and perhaps in any great language, has been that they contain a certain amount of popular thought and terminology, which includes the most natural and spontaneous perceptions. The connection with the texture of life, which is the desire of every great work, has required that the ideas that have seeped from the underlying layers of society be utilized." And elsewhere he says: "In my opinion, Mr. Mohammad Ali Haghighat Semnani has authored a valuable book on 'Persian Poetry Proverbs'. In this book, the connection between 'common proverbs' and Persian poetry, as well as the flow of thought from the streets and markets to the poet's mind, and vice versa, from the poet's solitude to the bustle of the bazaar, has been well-illustrated... One should ponder each of these couplets and proverbs and visualize how much of the bitter and sweet experiences of life have been condensed in each of these short phrases, like a cluster of grapes.
