thousands of horses in the same way without ever truly looking at us? I’ll tell

you why: Because they’re attempting to depict the world that God perceives;

not the world that they see。 Doesn’t that amount to challenging God’s unity;

that is—Allah forbid—isn’t it saying that I could do the work of God? Artists

who are discontent with what they see with their own eyes; artists who draw

the same horse a thousand times asserting that what rests in their imagination

is God’s horse; artists who claim that the best horse is what blind miniaturists

draw  from  memory;  aren’t  they  all  mitting  the  sin  of  peting  with

Allah?

The  new  styles  of  the  Frankish  masters  aren’t  blasphemous;  quite  the

opposite; they’re the most in keeping with our faith。 I pray that my Erzurumi

brethren  don’t  misunderstand  me。  It  displeases  me  that  Frankish  infidels

parade  their  women  around  half  naked;  indifferent  to  pious  modesties;  that

they  don’t  understand  the  pleasures  of  coffee  and  handsome  boys;  and  that

they  roam  about  with  clean…shaven  faces;  yet  with  hair  as  long  as  women’s;

claiming  that  Jesus  is  also  the  Lord  God—Allah  protect  us。  I  bee  so

aggravated by these Franks that if I ever came across one; I’d give him a good

mule kick。

Still; I’m sick of being incorrectly depicted by miniaturists who sit around

the house like ladies and never go off to war。 They’ll depict me at a gallop with

both  of  my  forelegs  extended  at  the  same  time。  There  isn’t  a  horse  in  this

world that runs like a rabbit。 If one of my forelegs is forward; the other is aft。

239

Contrary to what’s depicted in battle illustrations; there isn’t a horse in this

world  that  extends  one  foreleg  like  a  curious  dog;  leaving  the  other  firmly

planted on the ground。 There is no spahi cavalry division in existence whose

horses  saunter  in  unison;  as  if  traced  with  an  identical  stencil  twenty  times

back to back。 We horses scrounge for and eat the green grass at our feet when

nobody  is  looking。  We  never  assume  a  statuesque  stance  and  wait  around

elegantly; the way we’re shown in paintings。 Why is everybody so embarrassed

about  our  eating;  drinking;  shitting  and  sleeping?  Why  are  they  afraid  to

depict this wondrous God…given and unique implement of mine? On the sly;

women and children; in particular; love to stare at it; and what’s the harm in

this? Is the Hoja from Erzurum against this as well?

They  say  that  once  upon  a  time  there  was  a  feeble  and  nervous  shah  in

Shiraz。 He was in mortal fear that his enemies would have him deposed so his

son  could  assume  the  throne;  rat
