Abstract
Various analyses conducted by linguists in the past decades to analyze metaphor have proposed a new concept of it called conceptual metaphor to show its clear distinction from traditional definitions. Traditional metaphors emphasize more on form and appearance, but conceptual metaphors are formed on hidden concepts and imagery within the framework of cognitive semantics, based on which human emotions are depicted as various objective things. Among these emotions is the abstract concept of "sadness" which is manifested in various forms in the thought of poets. Sohrab Sepehri and Federico Garcia Lorca are among the poets who have depicted the abstract concept of "sadness" with different schemas. They have objectified the mental concept of grief mostly in the form of structural metaphors and with directional and agent schemas. Their least use is evident in the section of spatial metaphors. The application of the conceptual metaphor of "grief" in the poems of Sepehri and Lorca was more prominent in the section of ontological metaphors in the form of man and nature, which indicates the closeness of their views on the aforementioned mental concept. This research was conducted using the method of analyzing and describing evidence from the poetry of the studied poets, in which we first extracted the mental concept of "grief" based on cognitive linguistic theorists, then with the help of various theories proposed by cognitive linguists, especially Lakoff and Johnson, we explained and interpreted them in order to prove its mental images for the audience
