Abstract :
“Kak-kei” is one of the symbolic poems of Nima whose date of composition is not mentioned by Nima; however, Nima-researchers has lodged it among two poems named “Barf” (Snow) and “Pass-ha az Shab Gozashte” (long hours has passed from the night) which are respectively dated from 1955 and winter 1957. Structure, message and content of the poem itself prove this too. The author in this article, applying a method using Schleiermacher ideas and studying Nima’s works and works about Nima and reviewing social, political and cultural conditions and situations after the coup d'etat until the death of Nima, attempts to interpret “Kak-kei”. The author considers attempting to reach the given meaning of poet as the tasks of Interpreter in symbolic poems in which the poet tries to give social-political message; whilst due to the semantic leakage from symbol and the significance of semantic horizon of the Interpreter, the author emphasizes on the different interpretations of such poems, having pure linguistic purposes in mind.
