Occasionally; Black would sit dead still for long stretches and fix his eyes deeply

into mine。 I could imagine what he was thinking: “I’ll be your slave until I can

have your daughter。” Once; as I would do when he was a child; I took him out

into the yard and tried to explain to him; as a father might; about the trees;

about the light falling onto the leaves; about the melting snow and why the

houses  seemed  to  shrink  as  we  moved  away  from  them。  But  this  was  a

mistake:  It  proved  only  that  our  former  filial  relationship  had  long  since

collapsed。 Now patient sufferance of the rantings of a demented old man had

taken the place of Black’s childhood curiosity and passion for knowledge。 I was

just an old man whose daughter was the object of Black’s love。 The influence

and  experience  of  the  countries  and  cities  that  my  nephew  had  traveled

through for a dozen years had been fully absorbed by his soul。 He was tired of

me; and I pitied him。 And he was angry; I assumed; not only because I hadn’t

allowed him to marry Shekure twelve years ago—after all; there was no other

choice then—but because I dreamed of paintings whose style transgressed the

precepts  of  the  masters  of  Herat。  Furthermore;  because  I  raved  about  this

nonsense with such conviction; I imagined my death at his hands。

I was not; however; afraid of him; on the contrary; I tried to frighten him。

For I believed that fear was appropriate to the 。

“As in those pictures;” I said; “one ought to be able to situate oneself at the

center of the world。 One of my illustrators brilliantly depicted Death for me。

Behold。”

Thus I began to show him the paintings I’d secretly missioned from the

master  miniaturists  over  the  last  year。  At  first;  he  was  a  tad  shy;  even

frightened。 When he understood that the depiction of Death was inspired by

familiar scenes that could be found in many Book of Kings volumes—from the

scene of Afrasiyab’s decapitation of Siyavush; for example; or Rüstem’s murder

of Suhrab without realizing this e interested in

the  subject。  Among  the  pictures  that  depicted  the  funeral  of  the  late  Sultan

Süleyman   was   one   I’d   made   with   bold   but   sad   colors;   bining   a

positional  sensibility  inspired  by  the  Franks  with  my  own  attempt  at

shading—which  I’d  added  later。  I  pointed  out  the  diabolic  depth  evoked  by
