SPIRITUAL AND AESTHETIC ASPECTS IN THE LITERARY WORKS OF HRACHYA TAMRAZYAN ZARUHI HAYRYAN
The article examines the spiritual and aesthetic aspects in the literary works of a contemporary Armenian poet, translator, literary scholar, and scientist of the 21st century Hrachya Tamrazyan.
Tamrazyan's poetic individuality, subtle and deep perception of reality, his worldview are vividly reflected in such poetry collections of the poet as ''If Boredom is a Sign of Life'' (1983), ''Glass City'' (1985), ''Island of Voices'' (1989), ''Rainbow'' (1993), ''Vow of Silence'' (1996), ''Paraphrases'' (2003) and others, testifying to the poetic talent of the Armenian poet.
Tamrazyan's poems are distinguished by their original and expressive poetic language, which combines intellectuality, philosophicality, metaphor, alliteration, assonance, musicality, and the poet's emotionality. In his poems, the poet appears as a master of constructing rhyme and verse form, which are also distinguished by their lyrical and expressive sound. Tamrazyan compared a poem to a prayer, believing that every writer has his own spiritual mission, which must sow new seeds for the future.
The study of Tamrazyan's poetry has shown that it shows the influence of the poetry of symbolist poets, in particular V. Teryan, Y. Charents. Tamrazyan's poetic language, like that of his predecessors, is also distinguished by the richness and diversity of symbolic images, through which the poet's individuality, his worldview, psychology, and mood are highlighted.
Tamrazyan's poetic talent can also be evidenced by his translations from Russian poetry, in particular from the lyrics of S. Yesenin, V. Mayakovsky, B. Pasternak, and others, which are equivalent to the originals.
H. Tamrazyan's monumental scientific work is the monograph "Grigor Narekatsi and Neoplatonism", where the author deeply researched and presented the creative individuality, the novelty of Grigor Narekatsi's poetry, his philosophical views, and progressiveness, formed in the Narek school.
