    and sorrows of worldly life, rejecting reputation and formal piety, repeatedly
    choosing wine, tavern fellowship, beloved beauty, and music. The speaker addresses

    and the mosque; and asks that his dust be made into a wine vessel after death.

  label: tavern and wine vessel replacing formal prayer space
  taxonomy_refs:

  basis: The speaker contrasts mosque and tavern and chooses the wine-jar rim as the
    place of prayer, exchanging formal religious setting for wine-centered devotion.
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:2

  confidence: medium
  cautions: The available taxonomy has no specific tavern or antinomian piety category;
    'sacred_exchange' is approximate.

    wine, including a momentary revival through the wine's perfume.
  evidence_refs:

    not a full resurrection narrative.
- id: motif:4
  label: annihilation and being surpassed by drunkenness
  taxonomy_refs:

  basis: The speaker explicitly mentions annihilation and being and wishes knowledge
    annihilated if man has a higher state than drunkenness.
  evidence_refs:

  confidence: medium
  cautions: The passage uses philosophical and devotional language, but the exact
    doctrinal meaning is not established from this excerpt alone.

  label: beloved love endured through blame and torment
  taxonomy_refs:

  basis: The speaker addresses a beloved, accepts blame and penalty for love, and
    says even torment until the last day would feel too short.
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:4
  confidence: medium
  cautions: The beloved could be read literally or spiritually; the passage alone
    does not specify divine identity.
- id: motif:6
  label: self-effacement through wine rather than self-adoration
  taxonomy_refs:
  - annihilation_union
  basis: The speaker says he adores wine because he does not wish to imitate others
    and become an adorer of himself.
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:16
  confidence: medium
  cautions: This is a compact ethical or mystical claim, not a developed narrative
    motif.
- id: motif:7
  label: sacred theft of prayer-rug
  taxonomy_refs:

  basis: The speaker says he stole a sedjaddeh or prayer-rug from the mosque context
    and returned repeatedly after it wore out.
  evidence_refs:

    than a mythic sacred-theft episode.

  extraction: high
  motif_candidates: medium
  comparison_claims: medium
  notes: Literal extraction is strong because repeated images and statements are explicit.
    Motif mapping is more tentative because the passage is lyric, ironic, and devotional
    rather than a narrative myth, and several taxonomy matches are broad or approximate.
