candidate_motifs:
- id: motif:1
  label: Tavern wine as response to mortality
  taxonomy_refs:

    or coming death.
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:1
  - ev:5
  - ev:6
  - ev:14
  confidence: high
  cautions: The passage presents wine literally; Sufi or allegorical interpretation
    is only explicitly noted for quatrain 1 and should not be generalized without
    review.
- id: motif:2
  label: Death as summoning person
  taxonomy_refs:
  - divine_judgment
  basis: Death is personified as taking people by the hand and saying 'Arise,' and
    another quatrain mentions the day of doom.
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:6
  - ev:7
  confidence: medium
  cautions: The summoning figure is Death, not explicitly a divine judge in the quoted
    verse.
- id: motif:3
  label: Beloved's absence as burning fire
  taxonomy_refs:
  - divine_beloved
  basis: The beloved's absence causes the addressed sufferer to burn as fire and tremble
    like hot air.
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:2
  confidence: medium
  cautions: The beloved is not explicitly identified as divine in this quatrain; the
    taxonomy link is plausible within Sufi reception but needs human review.
- id: motif:4
  label: Divine presence perceived through an idol
  taxonomy_refs:
  - annihilation_union
  basis: The speaking idol says its charm comes because the one gazing through the
    worshipper's eyes confers beauty on it; the note glosses this as all being of
    God, even idols.
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:9
  confidence: medium
  cautions: The exact metaphysical doctrine is supplied by an editorial note, not
    only the quatrain's narrative voice.
- id: motif:5
  label: Heart as superior sacred center
  taxonomy_refs:
  - world_center
  - wisdom
  basis: A hundred Ka'bas are said not to equal one heart, and the wooer is told to
    seek a heart rather than the Ka'ba.
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:12
  confidence: high
  cautions: The passage uses the Ka'ba-heart contrast directly, but any broader doctrinal
    reading requires review.
- id: motif:6
  label: Ecstatic intoxication and transcendence of elements
  taxonomy_refs:
  - mystical_quest
  - annihilation_union
  basis: The speaker attains unconsciousness with cup in hand and is elsewhere rapt
    above water, earth, fire, and air.
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:13
  - ev:14
  confidence: medium
  cautions: The wording supports ecstatic rapture, but the passage does not explicitly
    call it union.
- id: motif:7
  label: Ethical non-harm as path to bliss
  taxonomy_refs:
  - wisdom
  basis: The speaker advises never to grieve or vex another if one desires eternal
    bliss.
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:10
  confidence: high
  cautions: This is an ethical maxim rather than a developed narrative motif.
- id: motif:8
  label: Indifference after death
  taxonomy_refs:
  - wisdom
  basis: The duck says that after it is dead and roasted it will not care whether
    the brook runs with wine.
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:15
  confidence: medium
  cautions: The note supplies the proverb-like interpretation 'Après nous le déluge';
    this should be reviewed for motif classification.
comparison_claims:
- id: claim:1
  claim: The passage itself supports a cautious Sufi-mystical comparison for the tavern
    and wine imagery because an editorial note says Blochmann considered quatrain
    1 mystical.

  evidence_refs:

  confidence: medium
  limitations: Only quatrain 1 is explicitly labeled mystical in the supplied passage;
    other wine passages may remain literal, satirical, or conventional.
- id: claim:2
  claim: The quatrain addressed to Muhammad can be cautiously compared with a Sufi
    pattern of divine polarity, since the note explicitly mentions Sufi interest in
    beautiful and terrible divine attributes.
  claim_level: same_function
  target: duality of divine mercy/beauty and wrath/terror in Sufi interpretation
  evidence_refs:

  counter_evidence_refs: []
  confidence: medium
  limitations: The comparison rests on the editorial note rather than a developed
    narrative episode in the quatrain.
- id: claim:3
  claim: The idol passage can be cautiously compared with a divine-immanence pattern
    because the note states that all is of God, even idols.
  claim_level: same_function
  target: divine immanence expressed through an object of worship

  counter_evidence_refs: []
  confidence: medium

    beyond the brief gloss.
