Download or read book Armenian Poems written by Alice Stone Blackwell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Armenian Poems: Rendered Into English Verse The first was the conviction that the sym pathy already felt for the Armenians in their martyrdom at the hands of the Turks would be deepened by an acquaintance with the temper and genius of the people, as shown in their poetry. The second was the fact that Armenian poetic liter ature, while well worthy to be known, was practically inaccessible to English-speaking readers. Of the sixty poems in this book, only two. So far as I can learn, have ever been put into English verse. The majority have never been translated, either in verse or prose. No attempt has been made to imitate the Armenian metres. The aim has been to reproduce the meaning of the original as accurately as possible, in the simplest English forms.

Download or read book Armenian Poems written by Alice Stone Blackwell and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1917 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich and bountiful poetry of Armenia is presented in this collection, adeptly and sensitively translated to English to preserve the expressive beauty in the verses. Armenian poems are rich with passionate expression, sometimes voicing pride in the national culture, history and identity. Some of the poems are outright romantic; celebrating the beauty, aesthetics and emotive intensity of youthful courtship. Other verses celebrate Armenia's martial prowess; with differing cultures on multiple sides, the land often saw battle. The importance of the country's location at the border between the European and Asian continents finds allusion, as authors nod to past glories, and predict future prowess. Reference to the scenic lands of Armenia, its local dances and the way of life abound in the verse, the poetry often brimming with cultured allusions. Significantly, this anthology includes the most famed and celebrated works by the lauded national poets, together with older poetry and hymns dating back as far as the early-Medieval era. The reader thus acquires an acute impression of how Armenian poetic works evolved through the centuries.

Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ...Here in your empty hut how can you live?" The four were mute; but when I spoke your name And sobbed tempestuously in my dream, They wildly, with bowed heads, began to weep. "But still," I said, "your brother is alive--The little one, who did not see you die. It is for him alone I live to-day." Then they burst forth, and poured upon mine eyes The terrible black tear drops of the dead. "A brother, oh, we have a brother yet, A brother, oh, a brother in the world! Mother, the misery of coming days! Hereafter, how shall we to earth return? Now how, oh, how shall we to earth return?" PRAYER. HE swans, in discouragement, have migrated from the poisonous lakes this evening, And sad sisters dream of brothers under the prison walls. Battles have ended on the blossoming fields of lilies, And fair women follow coffins from underground passages, And sing, with heads bowed down towards the ground. Oh, make haste! Our aching bodies are frozen in these pitiless glooms. Make haste towards the chapel, where life will be more merciful, The chapel of the graveyard where our brother sleeps! An orphan swan is suffering within my soul, And there, over newly-buried bodies, It rains blood--it pours from mine eyes. A crowd of cripples pass along the paths of my heart, And with them pass barefooted blind men, In the divine hope of meeting some one in prayer. And the red dogs of the desert howled all one night, After hopelessly moaning over the sands For some unknown, incomprehensible grief. And the storm of my thoughts ceased with the rain; The waves were cruelly imprisoned under the frozen waters; The leaves of huge oaks, like wounded birds, Dropped with cries of anguish. And the dark night was deserted, like the vast infinite;...
