Mirza Aqa Khan Kermani
Mirza Aqa Khan Kermani (1854 - 1896/97) was an Iranian literary critic.
Kermani believed that "it is meaning, not the mode of expression, that exerts the real influence on the reader,"[1] and thus discouraged the "destruction of the natural clarity of language ... by means of complicated metaphors, difficult words, long sentences, and complex expressions."[1]
