Paruyr Sevak’s Greatest Love
After some absence due to a faulty computer, Zarchka over at Life Around Me is back with a post on the greatest love of Armenian writer Paruyr Sevak. A new book reveals that the woman Sevak dedicated his love poems to was a real rather than a fictitious person.
The author of the book found the letters of Sevak and Sulamita which they were exchanging during the years. It is based on true events, though the pen of the writer neatly describes the whole beauty of their love. Not once it was that I tried to resist my tears while reading it, being not a romantic person at all, but they would always burst out with grief and lamentation for the great love of my dear Sevak. If you haven’t read this book yet, I sincerely recommend, for his whole poetry you read so far is equal to nothing if you don’t know who he referred and what he was feeling when he wrote his famous lines “You, my last one, misunderstandingly, and my only one by destiny…”
Unfortunately, they were sentenced to live and love far from each other and all over the time stand the tests of the life. And here he writes “ The spring passed, I didn’t see you, The summer passed, I didn’t see you, The autumn passed, I didn’t see you, The winter will pass, I’ll not see you. And where is our season of the year-the fifth one?”
Ohh, my dear dear Sevak, I love you so much and I love you more and more after learning your great but pleasant sorrow and pain caused by your sweet-sweet, most most love…
Zarchka says that she’s not a romantic person, but I don’t believe it for a second. You can make your own mind up after reading her post here.
What kind of a name is Sulamita and what does it mean?
