outing。”
“My beloved master; my good sir; this is quite a coincidence;” said Black。 “I;
too; am quite fond of that scene from Hüsrev and Shirin。”
“These aren’t fables; but events that actually happened;” I said。 “Listen; the
miniaturist didn’t depict the shah’s beautiful daughter as Shirin; but as a
courtesan playing the lute or setting the table; because that was the figure he
was in the midst of illustrating at the time。 As a result; Shirin’s beauty paled
beside the extraordinary beauty of the courtesan standing off to the side; thus
disrupting the painting’s balance。 After the shah saw his daughter in the
painting; he wanted to locate the gifted miniaturist who’d depicted her。 But
the crafty miniaturist; fearing the shah’s wrath; had rendered both the
courtesan and Shirin; not in his own style; but in a new way so as to conceal
his identity。 The skillful brush strokes of quite a few other miniaturists had
gone into the work as well。”
“How had the shah discovered the identity of the miniaturist who
portrayed his daughter?”
“From the ears!”

“Whose ears? The ears of the daughter or her picture?”
“Actually; neither。 Following his intuition; he first laid out all the books;
pages and illustrations that his own miniaturists had made and inspected all
the ears therein。 He saw what he’d known for years in a new light: Regardless
of the level of talent; each of the miniaturists made ears in his own style。 It
didn’t matter if the face they depicted was the face of a sultan; a child; a
warrior; or even; God forbid; the partially veiled face of Our Exalted Prophet;
or even; God forbid again; the face of the Devil。 Each miniaturist; in each case;
always drew the ears the same way; as if this were a secret signature。”
“Why?”
“When the masters illustrated a face; they focused on approaching its
exalted beauty; on the dictates of the old models of form; on the expression; or
on whether it should resemble somebody real。 But when it came time to make
the ears; they neither stole from others; imitated a model nor studied a real
ear。 For the ears; they didn’t think; didn’t aspire to anything; didn’t even stop
to consider what they were doing。 They simply guided their brushes from
memory。”
“But didn’t the great masters also create their masterpieces from memory
without ever even looking at real horses; trees or people?” said Black。
“True;” I said; “but those are memories acquired after years of thought;
contemplation and reflection。 Having seen plenty of horses; illustrated and
