    • Abstract:
      The article presents the discussion on poetry conveying in a few sentences more of lasting values than a whole volume of scientific analysis. Topics include Western Literature owing an enormous debt to the unique and widely varied writings in the key religious text; Middle Ages being dominated by the Catholic Church and the official language; and ballad forms being used in folk poetry, songs, and madrigals.
