2. Spiritual rhetoric: equivocalness, paradox, allusion, proverb, etc.
3. Expression; imagery, simile, metaphor, irony.

 
This article in brief offers examples for each of these literary figures of speech.
 

Keywords: Shahab-Eddin Khorandezi Nasavi, poetic prose, literary ornaments, Nafsat-ol-Masdoor.
