masters of Herat who were able to stop time。 I know it’s not easy。

My son Orhan; who’s foolish enough to be logical in all matters; reminds

me on the one hand that the time…halting masters of Herat could never depict

me as I am; and on the other hand; that the Frankish masters who perpetually

painted mother…with…child portraits could never stop time。 He’s been insisting

for years that my picture of bliss could never be painted anyhow。

Perhaps he’s right。 In actuality; we don’t look for smiles in pictures of bliss;

but  rather;  for  the  happiness  in  life  itself。  Painters  know  this;  but  this  is

precisely what they cannot depict。 That’s why they substitute the joy of seeing

for the joy of life。

In the hopes that he might pen this story; which is beyond depiction; I’ve

told it to my son Orhan。 Without hesitation I gave him the letters Hasan and

Black sent me; along with the rough horse illustrations with the smeared ink;

which  were  found  on  poor  Elegant  Effendi。  Above  all;  don’t  be  taken  in  by

Orhan  if  he’s  drawn  Black  more  absentminded  than  he  is;  made  our  lives

harder  than  they  are;  Shevket  worse  and  me  prettier  and  harsher  than  I  am。

For  the  sake  of  a  delightful  and  convincing  story;  there  isn’t  a  lie  Orhan

wouldn’t deign to tell。
