Shah Mahmud; who ridiculed him as being nothing but a peasant。 I was there

on the quiver of Book of Kings hero Rüstem when he traveled far and wide in

pursuit of his missing steed; I became the blood that spewed forth when he

cut the notorious ogre in half with his wondrous sword; and I was in the folds

of the quilt upon which he made furious love with the beautiful daughter of

the king who’d received him as a guest。 Verily and truly; I’ve been everywhere

and am everywhere。 I emerged as Tur traitorously decapitated his brother Iraj;

as  legendary  armies;  spectacular  as  a  dream;  clashed  on  the  steppes;  and  as

Alexander’s  lifeblood  shimmered  brightly  from  his  handsome  nose  after  he

suffered sunstroke。 Yes; Shah Behram Gür spent every night of the week with a

different beauty beneath domes of varying color from distant lands; listening

to the story she recounted; and I was upon the outfit of the striking maiden

he  visited  on  a  Tuesday;  whose  picture  he’d  fallen  in  love  with;  just  as  I

appeared  from  the  crown  to  the  caftan  of  Hüsrev;  who’d  fallen  in  love  with

Shirin’s  picture。  Verily;  I  was  visible  upon  the  military  banners  of  armies

bs of fighting cocks; pomegranates; the fruits of fabled lands; the mouth

of Satan; the subtle accent lines within picture borders; the curled embroidery

on  tents;  flowers  barely  visible  to  the  naked  eye  made  for  the  artist’s  own

pleasure; blouses worn by stunning women with outstretched necks watching

the street through open shutters; the sour…cherry eyes of bird statues made of

sugar;  the  stockings  of  shepherds;  the  dawns  described  in  legends  and  the

corpses and wounds of thousands; nay; tens of thousands of lovers; warriors

and shahs。 I love engaging in scenes of war where blood blooms like poppies;

appearing on the caftan of the most proficient of bards listening to music on a

countryside   outing   as   pretty   boys   and   poets   partake   of   wine;   I   love

illuminating  the  wings  of  angels;  the  lips  of  maidens;  the  death  wounds  of

corpses and severed heads bespeckled with blood。

I hear the question upon your lips: What is it to be a color?
