| dc.description.abstract | Vahan Tekeyan (1878-1945) was one of the most gifted Armenian poets to survive the Genocide. He played a key role in shaping the Armenian Diaspora by actively participating in its formation as an intellectual, editor, teacher, protector of Armenian orphans, and political leader. During those dark days, well-known clergyman, scholar, and poet, Patriarch Torkom Koushagian (1874-1939), inspired hope among the surviving faithful and passionately defended Holy Echmiadzin as the supreme spiritual center of the Armenian faith. The relationship between Tekeyan and Koushagian began with their meeting in Constantinople. Their bond strengthened when both found themselves in Cairo, Egypt, and later, once Koushagian was elected the Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem in 1931, through correspondence and meetings in Jerusalem. The thirty letters, dated between 1931 and 1938 and reproduced in this paper, are representative of numerous letters written by Tekeyan to Koushagian, many of which have not yet come to light. The correspondence sheds light on Tekeyan's personal life and career, touches upon lay and religious matters of interest, and provides insight into the poet's character, literary concepts, poetry, and journalism. The writer is revealed as a humble, shy person of frail health, who is challenged with both reconciling and responding to the injustices and actions that threaten Armenian communities and Armenian interests. The letters also reveal the writer's humor, which he often called upon when dealing with the tragic circumstances he and the early Diasporan community faced. In essence, in Tekeyan's letters we find a man whose words and deeds are in harmony. They substantiate Patriarch Koushagian's opinion of the renowned poet as the honest, kind person of integrity that he was. | |
