Kazza Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 Actually Dragon, here's something YOU may be interested in. I reently got a book out from the library, it's as big as a pizza, thick as two planks, FULL of ancient armenian poetry and stories I'm already running huge fines on it, but who cares. I can post some of the poetry here. I had also read the story on the Artist who built the castle for the daughter of the Arian King. She said he had to do it then she would marry him, than she married someone else So sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most of these type of stories it usually ends in his death, probably plunging from the building he created. The only happy ending story I have heard is one about the young architect of a palace in Isfahan, who built a secret entrance to the ruler's harem so that he could secretly visit his lover there. Unfortunately they were discovered eventually, and he ran up the stairs of the minaret, intending to throw himself off the top rather than suffer the tortures that the king would certainly inflict on him. But when falling from the minaret God took pity on him and gave him wings with which he flew to the Elbruz nountains, the land of his birth.Are there any stories about Ani (the city) in that book?

But the way they make that out it's as if that's the best ending FOR him, (while reading the tradgedy even I thought it would be better for him to be "put out of his misery"!!!) But you see, that wasn't a truly happy ending for the architect in Isfahan, because he wasn't with His Beloved. He may be in the mountains, but he will be Desolate with oiout Her. Aaaaah. yeah, there are stories about ani. Lots. And also passages by Aram raffi if U want me to I can type them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
