man and no coiling Chinese clouds。 Just the ground; the sky; myself and the

horizon。 But my story is much more plicated。

2。 As a tree; I need not be part of a book。 As the picture of a tree; however;

I’m  disturbed  that  I’m  not  a  page  within  some  manuscript。  Since  I’m  not

representing something in a book; what es to mind is that my picture will

be  nailed  to  a  wall  and  the  likes  of  pagans  and  infidels  will  prostrate

themselves  before  me  in  worship。  May  the  followers  of  Erzurumi  Hoja  not

hear  that  I  secretly  take  pride  in  this  thought—but  then  I’m  overe  with

the utmost fear and embarrassment。

3。 The essential reason for my loneliness is that I don’t even know where I

belong。 I was supposed to be part of a story; but I fell from there like a leaf in

autumn。 Let me tell you about it:

Falling from My Story Like a Leaf Falls in Fall

Forty  years  ago;  the  Persian  Shah  Tahmasp;  who  was  the  archenemy  of  the

Ottomans  as  well  as  the  world’s  greatest  patron…king  of  the  art  of  painting;

began  to  grow  senile  and  lost  his  enthusiasm  for  wine;  music;  poetry  and

painting;  furthermore;  he  quit  drinking  coffee;  and  naturally;  his  brain

stopped  working。  Full  of  the  suspicions  of  a  long…faced;  dark…spirited  old

geezer; he transferred his capital from Tabriz; which was then Persian territory;

to Kazvin so it would be farther from the Ottoman armies。 One day when he

had  grown  even  older;  he  was  possessed  by  a  jinn;  had  a  nervous  fit;  and

begging God’s forgiveness; pletely swore off wine; handsome young boys

and painting; which is proof enough that after this great shah lost his taste for

coffee; he also lost his mind。

This  was  why  the  divinely  inspired  bookbinders;  calligraphers;  gilders  and

miniaturists;  who  created  the  greatest  masterpieces  in  the  world  over  a

twenty…year period in Tabriz; scattered like a covey of partridges to other cities。

Shah  Tahmasp’s  nephew  and  son…in…law;  Sultan  Ibrahim  Mirza;  invited  the

most gifted among them to Mashhad; where he served as provincial governor;

and  settled  them  in  his  miniaturists’  workshop  to  copy  out  a  marvelous

illuminated and illustrated manuscript of all seven fables of the Seven Thrones

of  Jami—the  greatest  poet  in  Herat  during  the  reign  of  Tamerlane。  Shah

Tahmasp; who both admired and envied his intelligent and handsome nephew;

and  regretted  having  given  his  daughter  to  him;  was  consumed  by  jealousy

when  he  heard  about  this  magnificent  book  and  angrily  ousted  his  nephew

from  the  post  of  Governor  of  Mashhad;  banishing  him  to  the  city  of  Kain;

before  sending  him  off  to  the  smaller  town  of  Sebzivar  in  a  renewed  fit  of
