his  picture  on  the  branch  of  a  plane  tree;  Sheikh  Ali  R?za  from  Shiraz  had

drawn distinctly all the leaves of the tree one by one so they filled the entire

sky。  In  answer  to  a  fool  who  saw  the  work  and  mented  that  the  true

subject of the illustration wasn’t the plane tree; Sheikh Ali replied that the true

subject  wasn’t  the  passion  of  the  beautiful  young  maiden  either;  it  was  the

passion of the artist; and to proudly prove his point he attempted to paint the

same  plane  tree  with  all  its  leaves  on  a  grain  of  rice。  If  the  signature  hidden

beneath  the  beautiful  feet  of  Shirin’s  darling  lady  attendants  hadn’t  misled

me; I was of course seeing the magnificent tree made by the blind master on

paper—not the tree made on a grain of rice; which he left half finished; having

gone blind seven years and three months after he started the task。 On another

page;  Rüstem  blinding  Alexander  with  his  forked  arrow  was  depicted  in  the

manner of artists who knew the Indian style; so vivaciously and colorfully; that

blindness;  the  ageless  sorrow  and  secret  desire  of  the  genuine  miniaturist;

appeared to the observer as the prologue to a joyous celebration。

My  eyes  wandered  over  these  pictures  and  volumes;  no  less  with  the

excitement of one who wanted to behold for himself these legends he’d heard

about for years than with the worry of an old man who sensed he would soon

enough  never  see  anything  more。  There;  in  the  cold  Treasury  room  suffused

with a dark red that I’d never seen before—caused by the color of the cloth

and dust within the peculiar light of the candles—I would occasionally cry out

in  admiration;  whereupon  Black  and  the  dwarf  would  rush  to  my  side  and

look over my shoulder at the magnificent page before me。 Unable to restrain

myself; I’d begin to explain:

“This color red belongs to the great master Mirza Baba Imami from Tabriz;

the secret of which he took with him to the grave。 He’s used it for the edges of

the carpet; the red of Alevi allegiance on the Persian Shah’s turban; and look;

it’s here on the belly of the lion on this page and on this pretty boy’s caftan。

Allah never directly revealed this fine red except when He let the blood of his

subjects flow。 So that we might wearily strive to find this variety of red that is

only  visible  to  the  naked  eye  on  man…made  cloth  and  in  the  pictures  of  the

greatest of masters; God did; however; consign its secret to the rarest of insects

living  beneath  stones;”  I  said  and  added;  “Thanks  be  to  Him  who  has  now

revealed it to us。”

“Look at this;” I said much later; once again unable to refrain from showing
