Quote

Let me kiss your hair, anointed with frankincense, Which, by night, beneath the moon, perfumes the pillow.

Daniel Varoujan, tr. Hratch Demiurge, from ‘Oriental Bathhouse’, Pagan Songs

I am the eye, you are the light, my love.

Blind without light is the eye.

I am a fish, the water you, my love.

Without water fish must die.

If you pull a fish from the river

and throw it in another it will live -

but if I am parted from you

I'll die without hope of reprieve.

~~~

Ես աչք ու դու լոյս, հոգի,

առանց լո՛յս՝ աչքըն խաւարի.

Ես ձուկ ու դու ջուր, հոգի,

առանց ջո՛ւր՝ ձուկըն մեռանի.

Երբ զձուկն ի ջըրէն հանեն

ւ'ի այլ ջուր ձըգեն, նայ ապրի,

Երբ զիս ի քենէ զատեն,

քան զմեռնելն այլ ճար չի լինի:

Nahapet Kuchak - 16th century Arrmenian poet.

English translation by Ewald Osers.

The Analysis of Yearning (Garod)

by Barouyr Sevag

from “Anthology of Armenian Poetry"

translated from the Armenian by Diana Der-Hovanessian

I know the dark need, the yearning, the want, in the same way the blind man knows the inside of his old home.

I don't see my own movements and the objects hide. But without error or stumbling I maneuver among them, live among them, move like the self-winding clock which even after losing its hands keeps ticking and turning but shows neither minute nor hour.

And dangling between darkness and loneliness I want to analyze this want like a chemist to understand its nature and profound mystery. And as I try there is laughter from some mysterious tunnel, laughter from an indescribable distance, from an unhearable distance.

A city sparrow with a liquid song changes its ungreen life into music from an unechoing distance, an unhuntable distance.

And words start hurting me as they mock, echo from the unhuntable distance, this merciless distance.

I walk from wall to wall and the sound of my steps seems to come from far away from that merciless distance, that impossible distance.

I am not blind but I see nothing around me, because vision has detached itself and reached that distance that is impossibly far, excessively far.

I run after myself, incapable of ever reaching or catching what I seek.

And this is what is called want and longing or "garod."
