from  everybody�察 �more  stolen  gold  leaf  hidden  between  the  pages�察 �indecent 
pictures!some of which I¨d drawn myself and some I¨d collected!a keepsake 
agate ring from my dear mother along with a lock of her white hair�察�and my 
best pens and brushes。 
^If I were truly a murderer as you suspect�察院�I said with stupid pride�察 �the 
final picture would¨ve emerged from my secret treasury�察�not these things。 ̄ 
^Why these things�拭院�asked Stork。 
^When  the  Imperial  Guard  searched  my  house�察 �as  they  did  yours�察 �they 
shamelessly  pilfered  two  of  these  gold  pieces  that  I¨ve  spent  my  entire  life 
collecting。  I  thought  about  how  we¨d  be  searched  again  on  account  of  this 
410 
 
wretched  murderer!and  I  was  right。  If  that  last  picture  were  with  me�察 �it 
would be here。 ̄ 
It was a mistake to utter this last sentence�察�nevertheless�察�I could sense that 
they  were  put  at  ease  and  no  longer  afraid  that  I¨d  strangle  them  in  a  dark 
corner of the lodge。 Have I gained your trust as well�拭�
At  this  time�察 �however�察 �I  was  overwhelmed  by  a  severe  restlessness�察 �no�察 �it 
wasn¨t  that  my  illuminator  friends�察 �whom  I¨d  known  since  childhood�察 �saw 
how  I¨d  been  greedily  squirreling  money  away  for  years�察 �how  I  bought  and 
saved  gold�察 �or  even  that  they  learned  about  my  sketchbooks  and  obscene 
pictures。  In  truth�察 �I  regretted  having  shown  them  all  of  these  things  in  a 
moment of panic。 Only the mysteries of a man lessly could 
be exposed so easily。 
^Noheless�察院�said Black much later�察 �we must e to a consensus about 
what  we  will  say  under  torture  if  Master  Osman  happens  to  turn  us  over 
without any forewarning。 ̄ 
A  hollowness  and  depression  descended  upon  us。  In  the  pale  light  of  the 
lamp�察�Stork and Butterfly were staring at the vulgar pictures in my sketchbook。 
They displayed an air of plete indifference�察�in fact�察�they were even happy in 
some horrid way。 I had a strong urge to look at the picture!I could very well 
surmise  which  one  it  was�察 �I  rose  and  circled  around  behind  them�察 �gazing 
silently at the obscene picture I¨d painted�察�thrilled as though I were recalling a 
now  distant  yet  blissful  memory。  Black  joined  us。  For  whatever  reason�察 �that 
the four of us were looking at that illustration relieved me。 
^Could the blind and the seeing ever be equal�拭院�said Stork much later。 Was 
he implying that even though what we saw was obscene�察�the pleasure of sight 
that Allah had bestowed upon us was glorious�拭�Nay�察�what would Stork know 
of such matters�拭�He never read the Koran。 I knew that the old masters of Herat 
would  frequently  recite  this  verse。  The  great  masters  used  this  verse  as  a 
response  to  enemies  of  painting  who  warned  that  illustrating  was  forbidden 
by our faith and that painters would be sent to Hell on Judgment Day。 Until 
that magical moment�察�however�察�I¨d never even once heard from Butterfly those 
words that now emerged from his mouth as if on their own�此�
^I¨d like to depict how the blind and the seeing are not equal� 院�
^Who are the blind and the seeing�拭院�Black said naively。 
^The blind and the seeing are not equal�察�it¨s what `ve ma yestevil¨ama ve¨l 
basiru¨nun means�察院�Butterfly said and continued�此�
411 
 
 
^´nor are the darkness and the light。 
 
The shade and the heat are not equal�察�
nor are the living and the dead。^ 
 
I shuddered for an instant�察�thinking of the fates of Elegant Effendi�察�Enishte 
and  our  storyteller  brother  who  was  killed  tonight。  Were  the  others  as 
frightened  as  I�拭 �Nobody  moved  for  a  time。  Stork  was  still  holding  my  book 
open�察�but seemed not to see the vulgarity I¨d painted though we were all still 
staring at it� �
^I¨d  want  to  paint  Judgment  Day�察院 �said  Stork。  ^The  resurrection  of  the 
dead�察 �and  the  separation  of  the  guilty  from  the  innocent。  Why  is  it  that  we 
cannot depict the Sacred Word of our faith�拭院�
In  our  youth�察 �working  together  in  the  same  room  of  our  workshop�察 �we 
would periodically lift our faces from our work boards and tables�察�just as the 
aging masters would do to rest their eyes�察�and begin talking about any topic 
that  happened  to  enter  our  minds。  Back  then�察 �just  as  we  now  did  while 
looking  at  the  book  open  before  us�察 �we  didn¨t  look  at  one  another  as  we 
chatted。  For  our  eyes  would  be  turned  toward  some  distant  spot  outside  an 
open  window。  I¨m  not  sure  if  it  was  the  excitement  of  recalling  something 
remarkably  beautiful  from  my  halcyon  apprenticeship  days�察 �or  the  sincere 
regret I felt at that moment because I hadn¨t read the Koran for so long�察�or the 
horror of the crime I¨d seen at the coffeehouse that night�察�but when my turn 
came to speak�察�I grew confused�察�my heart quickened as if I¨d e under the 
threat  of  some  danger�察 �and  as  nothing  else  came  to  mind�察 �I  simply  said  the 
following�此�
^You  remember  those  verses  at  the  end  of   ̄The  Cow`  chapter�拭 �I¨d  want 
most  of  all  to  depict  them�此  �Oh  God�察 �judge  us  not  by  what  we¨ve  forgotten 
and by our mistakes。 Oh God�察�burden us not with a weight we cannot bear�察�as 
with  those  who  have  gone  before  us。  Forgive  and  absolve  us  of  our 
transgressions and sins� �Treat us with mercy�察�my dear God。 ̄^ My voice broke 
and  I  was  embarrassed  by  the  tears  I  shed  unexpectedly!perhaps  because  I 
was  wary  of  the  sarcasm  that  we  always  kept  at  the  ready  during  our 
apprenticeships to protect ourselves and to avoid exposing our sensitivities。 
I  thought  my  tears  would  quickly  abate�察 �but  unable  to  restrain  myself�察 �I 
began to cry in great sobs。 As I wept�察�I could sense that each of the others was 
412 
 
overe by feelings of fraternity�察�devastation and sorrow。 From now on�察�the 
European style would be preeminent in Our Sultan¨s workshop�察�the styles and 
books to which we¨d devoted our entire lives would slowly be forgotten!yes�察�
in fact�察�the whole venture would e to an end�察�and if the Erzurumis didn¨t 
throttle   us   and   finish   us   off�察  �the   Sultan¨s   torturers   would   leave   us 
maimed´But  as  I  cried�察 �sobbed  and  sighed!even  though  I  continued  to 
listen to the sad patter of the rain!a part of my mind sensed that these were 
not  the  things  I  was  actually  crying  about。  To  what  extent  were  the  others 
aware  of  this�拭 �I  felt  vaguely  guilty  for  my  tears�察 �which  were  at  once  genuine 
and false。 
Butterfly came up beside me�察�placed his arm upon my shoulder�察�stroked my 
hair�察 �kissed  my  cheek  and  forted  me  with  honeyed  words。  This  show  of 
friendship made me cry with even more sincerity and guilt。 I couldn¨t see his 
face  but�察 �for  some  reason�察 �I  incorrectly  thought  he  too  was  crying。  We  sat 
down。 
We  recalled  how  we¨d  started  our  workshop  apprenticeships  in  the  same 
year�察 �the  strange  sadness  of  being  torn  away  from  our  mothers  to  suddenly 
begin a new life�察�the pain of beatings we received from the first day�察�the joy of 
the  first  gifts  from  the  Head  Treasurer�察 �and  the  days  we  went  back  home�察�
running the whole way。 At first�察�only he talked while I listened sorrowfully�察�but 
later�察  �when   Stork   and�察  �sometime   afterward�察  �Black!who   came   to   the 
workshop for a time and left it�察�during our early apprenticeship years!joined 
our mournful conversation�察�I forgot that I¨d just been crying and began to talk 
and laugh freely with them。 
We reminisced about winter mornings when we would wake early�察�light the 
stove in the largest room of the workshop and mop the floors with hot water。 
We recalled an old ^master�察院�may he rest in peace�察�who was so uninspired and 
cautious that he could draw only a single leaf of a single tree during the span 
of a single day and who�察�when he saw that we were again looking at the lush 
green leaves of the springtime trees through the open window rather than at 
the  leaf  he  drew�察 �without  striking  us�察 �would  chastise  us  for  the  hundredth 
time�此 �Not out there�察�in here� 院�We recalled the wailing�察�which could be heard 
throughout  the  entire  atelier�察 �of  the  scrawny  apprentice  who  walked  toward 
the door�察�satchel in hand�察�having been sent back home because the intensity of 
the  work  caused  one  of  his  eyes  to  wander。  Next�察 �we  imagined  how  we 
watched  ��with  pleasure  because  it  wasn¨t  our  fault��  the  slow  spread  of  a 
deadly  red  seeping  from  a  bronze  inkpot  that  had  cracked  over  a  page  three 
illuminators had labored on for three months ��it depicted the Ottoman army 
413 
 
on the banks of the K��n��k River en route to Shirvan�察�overing the threat of 
starvation  by  occupying  Eresh  and  filling  their  stomachs��。  In  a  refined  and 
respectful manner�察�we talked about how the three of us together made love to 
and together fell in love with a Circasian lady�察�the most beautiful of the wives 
of a seventy´year´old pasha who!in consideration of his conquests�察�strength 
and wealth!wanted ceiling ornamentation in his home made in imitation of 
the designs in Our Sultan¨s hunting lodge。 Then�察�we longingly recalled how on 
winter  mornings  we  would  have  our  lentil  soup  on  the  threshold  of  the 
yawning door so its steam wouldn¨t soften the paper。 We also lamented being 
separated from workshop friends and masters when the latter pelled us to 
travel to distant places to serve as journeymen。 For a time�察�the sweetness of 
my  dear  Butterfly  in  his  sixteenth  year  appeared  before  my  eyes�此 �He  was 
burnishing paper to a high gloss by rubbing it quickly with a smooth seashell 
as the sunlight�察�ing through an open window on a summer¨s day�察�struck 
his naked honey´colored forearms。 For a moment he stopped what he was so 
absentmindedly doing and carefully lowered his face to the page to examine a 
blemish。  After  making  a  few  passes  over  the  offending  spot  with  the 
burnishing  shell  usin
