empty  house;  occasionally  leaning  toward  the  candlestick;  in  the  flickering

light of the dim candle; I y beloved’s angry

letters;  the  somersaults  they  turned  trying  to  deceive  me  and  their  hip…

swinging right…to…left progression。 Abruptly; those shutters would open before

my  eyes;  and  my  beloved’s  face  and  her  sorrowful  smile  would  appear。  And

when  I  saw  her  real  face;  I  forgot  all  of  those  other  faces  whose  sour…cherry

mouths had increasingly matured and ripened in my imagination。

In  the  middle  of  the  night  I  lost  myself  in  dreams  of  marriage:  I  had  no

doubts about my love or that it was reciprocated—we were married in a state

of  great  contentment—but;  my  imaginary  happiness;  set  in  a  house  with  a

staircase;  was  dashed  when  I  couldn’t  find  appropriate  work  and  began

arguing with my wife; unable to make her heed my words。

I knew I’d appropriated these ominous images from the section on the ills

of marriage in Gazzali’s The Revival of Religious Science; which I’d read during

my nights as a bachelor in Arabia; at the same time; I recalled that there was

actually advice on the benefits of marriage in that same section; though now I

could remember only two of these benefits: first; having my household kept in

order (there was no such order in my imagined house); second; being spared

the guilt of self…abuse and of dragging myself—an even deeper sense of guilt—

behind pimps leading me through dark alleyways to the lairs of prostitutes。

The thought of salvation at this late hour brought masturbation to mind。

With a simple…minded desire; and to rid my mind of this irrepressible urge; I

retired to a corner of the room; as was my wont; but after a while I realized I

couldn’t jack off—proof well enough that I’d fallen in love again after twelve

years!

This struck such excitement and fear into my heart that I walked around the

room nearly atremble like the flame of the candle。 If Shekure meant to present

herself at the window; then why this letter; which put the opposite belief into

play? Why did her father call for me? As I paced; I sensed that the door; wall

and  squeaky  floor;  stuttering  as  I  myself  did;  were  trying  to  creak  their

responses to my every question。

I looked at the picture I’d made years ago; which depicted Shirin stricken

with  love  upon  gazing  at  Hüsrev’s  image  hanging  from  a  branch。  It  didn’t

embarrass me as it would each time it came to mind in subsequent years; nor

did it bring back my happy childhood memories。 Toward morning; my mind

had  mastered  the  situation:  By  returning  the  picture;  Shekure  had  made  a

move in an amatory chess game she was masterfully luring me into。 I sat in
