mercilessly needled our mon enemies; and after I really warmed up; I went

so far as to roughhouse and kiss men on the neck。 Yet; knowing that a part of

my  soul  remained  mercilessly  silent  when  I  involved  myself  in  such  behavior

caused me unbearable torment。

Noheless; before long; I not only succeeded in using figurative language

to pare my own cock; and those of others that were much…talked about; to

brushes;  reeds;  coffeehouse  pillars;  flutes;  newel  posts;  door  knockers;  leeks;

minarets; lady fingers in heavy syrup; pine trees; and twice; to the world itself;

308

I was equally successful in paring the asses of much…discussed pretty boys

to  oranges;  figs;  small  haycocklike  pastries;  pillows  and  also  to  tiny  anthills。

Meanwhile;  the  most  conceited  of  the  calligraphers  my  age  was  only  able  to

pare his oateurishly and without any self…confidence I

might  add—to  a  ship’s  mast  and  a  porter’s  pole。  Furthermore;  I  made

allusions  to  old  miniaturists’  dicks  that  would  no  longer  rise;  the  cherry…

colored  lips  of  new  apprentices;  master  calligraphers  who  hoarded  their

money (as did I) in a certain place (“the most disgusting nook”); how perhaps

opium had been put into the wine I was drinking instead of rose petals; the

last  great  masters  of  Tabriz  and  Shiraz;  the  mixing  of  coffee  and  wine  in

Aleppo; and the calligraphers and beautiful boys to be found there。

At times it seemed that one of the two spirits within me had; in the end;

emerged  victorious;  leaving  the  other  behind;  and  that  I’d  finally  forgotten

that  silent  and  loveless  aspect  of  myself。  At  these  times  I  remembered  the

holiday  celebrations  of  my  childhood  during  which  I  was  able  to  be  myself

along with my kith and kin。 Despite all these jokes; kisses and embraces; there

was still a silence within me that left me suffering and isolated in the heart of

the crowd。

Who  had  endowed  me  with  this  silent  and  merciless  spirit—it  was  not  a

spirit but a jinn—which always chided me and cut me off from others? Satan?

But  the  silence  within  me  was  eased;  not  by  the  crass  mischief  instigated  by

Satan;  on  the  contrary;  by  the  most  pure  and  simple  stories  that  drove  into

one’s  soul。  Under  the  influence  of  wine;  I  told  two  stories;  hoping  that  this

would  grant  me  peace。  A  tall;  pale;  yet  pinkish…plected  calligrapher’s

apprentice focused his green eyes onto mine and was listening to me with rapt

attention。
