different countenance。 In this way; by the twelfth year; when I returned to my
city at the age of thirty…six; I was painfully aware that my beloved’s face had
long since escaped me。
Many of my friends and relatives had died during my twelve…year exile。 I
visited the cemetery overlooking the Golden Horn and prayed for my mother
and for the uncles who’d passed away in my absence。 The earthy smell of mud
mingled with my memories。 Someone had broken an earthenware pitcher
beside my mother’s grave。 For whatever reason; gazing at the broken pieces; I
began to cry。 Was I crying for the dead or because I was; strangely; still only at
the beginning of my life after all these years? Or was it because I’d e to the
end of my life’s journey? A faint snow fell。 Entranced by the flakes blowing
here and there; I became so lost in the vagaries of my life that I didn’t notice
the black dog staring at me from a dark corner of the cemetery。
My tears subsided。 I wiped my nose。 I saw the black dog wagging its tail in
friendship as I left the cemetery。 Sometime later; I settled into our
neighborhood; renting one of the houses where a relative on my father’s side
once lived。 It seems I reminded the landlady of her son who’d been killed by
Safavid Persian soldiers at the front and so she agreed to clean the house and
cook for me。

I set out on long and satisfying walks through the streets as if I’d settled not
in Istanbul; but temporarily in one of the Arab cities at the other end of the
world。 The streets had bee narrower; or so it seemed to me。 In certain
areas; on roads squeezed between houses leaning toward one another; I was
forced to rub up against walls and doors to avoid being hit by laden
packhorses。 There were more wealthy people; or so it seemed to me。 I saw an
ornate carriage; a citadel drawn by proud horses; the likes of which couldn’t
be found in Arabia or Persia。 Near the “Burnt Column;” I saw some
bothersome beggars dressed in rags huddling together as the smell of offal
ing from the chicken…sellers market wafted over them。 One of them who
was blind smiled as he watched the falling snow。
Had I been told Istanbul used to be a poorer; smaller and happier city; I
might not have believed it; but that’s what my heart told me。 Though my
beloved’s house was where it’d always been among linden and chestnut trees;
others were now living there; as I learned from inquiring at the door。 I
discovered that my beloved’s mother; my maternal aunt; had died; and that
her husband; my Enishte; and his daughter had moved away。 This is how I
