his  harem  favorite;  watched  with  sorrow  and  shock  from  a  palace  window;

finger in mouth; begging him with her eyes not to abandon her to the enemy。

As  Joseph;  arrested  under  Züleyha’s  false  accusation  that  he  raped  her;  was

being taken to his cell; she stared from her window; a finger in her beautiful

mouth in a show of devilishness and lust rather than bewilderment。 As happy

yet somber lovers who emerged as if from a love poem were carried away by

lady servant spied on them with an envious finger in her red mouth。

Despite  its  being  a  standard  image  recorded  in  the  notebooks  and
