I can't locate originals to see what Tourian's writing is really like, but this jangly translation in ABCB rhyme is jarring. The imagery seems trite and immature. Okay, he died early. However, he's apparently much-loved in Armenia, which might speak to the translation or might speak to classical Armenian poetic sensibilities.
