The Portrait

What Seifeddine asks of its bearer

At the opening of Seifeddine stands Seen: an outward turn toward asking. Beneath the surface, Ya brings an interior of strong selfhood; Fa brings an interior that articulates. These are what the name does without ever announcing it. The closing letter is Nun: the life resolves into what is preserved and written. The work of the name is to let sword of the religion live through every letter — so that his life takes the same shape as his name.
