It is generally accepted that stylistic analysis can be processed in two complimentary ways. The first one assumes that the researcher completes a systematic analysis of the text while interpreting the linguistic devices apparent in the text in an aesthetically aware manner so that specific meanings can be ascribed to the particularities of the text. The second one, building onto the first one, aims to show how this systematic language use differs from other language systems. No matter which way we follow, a stylistic analysis must focus on the sounds as well as the utterances as components of a system that makes up a text. In this study, Ahmet Hâşim’s poem, titled “The Ladder” is analyzed stylistically by focusing on the sounds and utterances to see how this language system is related with the meaning of the poem. It was seen that constant repetitions are closely related with the poet’s concerns about the aesthetics and meanings inherent in the poem while it is equally valid to suggest that such a system makes interpreting the poem impossible because of the frame of the text set by the poet himself.
