Comments
"Poetry helped to soothe the pain of living." Indeed! "Perhaps my friends will be lost, my companions will vanish when I lie down in that place. Flowers are our only garments. Only songs make our pain subside." BEFORE being written down, thus employing all of mnemonic devices that make it easier to remember (that make it Poetry): rhythm, rhyme, simile, metaphor, imagery, assonance, alliteration; a la Homer. Now that's I'm talking about! This way we can see into their souls. Really appreciate it!
