It is quite true time
and war can destroy everything, but not poetry and art. Many gory wars
have been fought in the world since the beginning of civilization. Towns,
cities were destroyed in those wars. However, the art and poetry have survived those wars. For example holy scriptures, rare manuscripts
of great poets and writers, paintings, sculptors, etc still stand erect unto
this day. Wars could not destroy these beautiful creations. Nor could war
destroy the memories of those artists who created those beautiful pieces of
art. Art and poetry are eternal so are the memories of those who created beautiful
creations. Poetry and art are
immortal in the sense that they continue to live from one generation to another
in the from of books and memories scattered in different parts of the world.
However, buildings, statues, and gilded monuments are fixed on a particular
place. Owing to their large size and immovability, they become an easy target
of enemy artillery and cannons during war. But art lives on forever in the
memories of people who dying hand them over to the next generations.
