Poetry is a mixture of thought and imagery. Thoughts of the poet are his language expressed in the form of verse and cross to the mind of the reader. Poetâs worldview and the quality of explaining phenomena affect the structure of his sentences. Consequently, styles and literary genres select certain syntactic patterns. These patterns, indeed, express the perspective and subjectivity governing that style or literary theme. There are numerous syntactic factors which show the differences of authorâs perspective and attitude with regard to a subject or component in the text but this article considers two elements of modality and temporal variables in the Mathnavi of Veis va Ramin. This research aims to elucidate the view and attitude of the poet in using verbs, adverbs, adjectives and the organization of the words and reflection of the poetâs voice in the syntax of sentences. The results of this study show that the attitude of the poet is controlled by the dominance of events and his usage of present tense adverbs implies his realism and his confidence in the subject of the tale. The characteristics of Fakhr al-Din have an absolutist and equal attitude, and by referring the discourse to the moment of speaking and using present tense and distinguishing and affirmative adverbs the absolute and definite belief of the poet in love and its consequences are shown.
