I¨ve never mentioned to anybody�此�
 
1。  My  own  portrait�察 �but  I  knew  however  hard  the  Sultan¨s  miniaturists 
tried�察�they¨d fail�察�because even if they could see my beauty�察�woefully�察�none of 
them would believe a woman¨s face was beautiful without depicting her eyes 
and lips like a Chinese woman¨s。 Had they represented me as a Chinese beauty�察�
the  way  the  old  masters  of  Herat  would¨ve�察 �perhaps  those  who  saw  it  and 
recognized me could discern my face behind the face of that Chinese beauty。 
But  later  generations�察 �even  if  they  realized  my  eyes  weren¨t  really  slanted�察�
could  never  determine  what  my  face  truly  looked  like。  How  happy  I¨d  be 
today�察�in my old age!which I live out through the fort of my children!if 
I had a youthful portrait of myself� �

2。 A picture of bliss�此�What the poet Blond Naz��m of Ran had pondered in 
one  of  his  verses。  I  know  quite  well  how  this  painting  ought  to  be  made。 
Imagine  the  picture  of  a  mother  with  her  two  children�察 �the  younger  one�察�
whom she cradles in her arms�察�nursing him as she smiles�察�suckles happily at 
her  bountiful  breast�察 �smiling  as  well。  The  eyes  of  the  slightly  jealous  older 
brother and those of the mother should be locked。 I¨d like to be the mother in 
that picture。 I¨d want the bird in the sky to be depicted as if flying�察�and at the 
same  time�察 �happily  and  eternally  suspended  there�察 �in  the  style  of  the  old 
masters of Herat who were able to stop time。 I know it¨s not easy。 
 
My son Orhan�察�who¨s foolish enough to be logical in all matters�察�reminds 
me on the one hand that the time´halting masters of Herat could never depict 
me as I am�察�and on the other hand�察�that the Frankish masters who perpetually 
painted mother´with´child portraits could never stop time。 He¨s been insisting 
for years that my picture of bliss could never be painted anyhow。 
Perhaps he¨s right。 In actuality�察�we don¨t look for smiles in pictures of bliss�察�
but  rather�察 �for  the  happiness  in  life  itself。  Painters  know  this�察 �but  this  is 
precisely what they cannot depict。 That¨s why they substitute the joy of seeing 
for the joy of life。 
In the hopes that he might pen this story�察�which is beyond depiction�察�I¨ve 
told it to my son Orhan。 Without hesitation I gave him the letters Hasan and 
Black sent me�察�along with the rough horse illustrations with the smeared ink�察�
which  were  found  on  poor  Elegant  Effendi。  Above  all�察 �don¨t  be  taken  in  by 
Orhan  if  he¨s  drawn  Black  more  absentminded  than  he  is�察 �made  our  lives 
harder  than  they  are�察 �Shevket  worse  and  me  prettier  and  harsher  than  I  am。 
For  the  sake  of  a  delightful  and  convincing  story�察 �there  isn¨t  a  lie  Orhan 
wouldn¨t deign to tell。
