Love in Literature
Tamar Donabedian Kouzouian
On Wednesday, April 5, 2017, the theme of the Forum at the Hamazkayin Y. Manoogian Library was love. The way any writer speaks about the love on pages of our literature depends on his inner world, thoughts, environment, experiences, and his style of writing...
For Vahan Tekeyan, which is considered as a poet of love, "the best love is that is kept in silence.” He writes, "I loved, but none of my beloved ones knew how much I loved her! Whoever can understand the heart? "
According to Paruyr Sevak," We always meet our lovers by chance, but leave them when we have no choice. "
Sevak’s and Charents’ confession of love was emancipated and extravagant in the words when meeting or leaving their beloved ones.
Vazgen Shushanian’s love is flaming and passionate, while Silva Kaputikian writes, "I was given a lot of fortune in my life, but not a happy love." Kaputikian sometimes is strong and decisive, "No, you can not ever forget me", but sometimes she is weak and yielding, "Come to me even being cuddled by others," and eventually, "I can’t understand the mystery of love. What is love? A loss, or a treasure, I can not understand ...”
The Armenian poet from Argentina, Alicia Giragosian writes, ″Love is more memory than presence.″
"You were so permanently absent in my life, that sorry,
I do not need your love ever, anymore...
Moreover, I have so permanently remembered you,
That I have forgot about your presence. "
