Question

The poet says that neither forces of nature nor wars can destroy his poetry . On the basis of your reading comment on the longevity of the written word

Answer 1

It is quite true neither forces of nature nor wars can destroy 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 poetry and art live on forever in the memories of people who dying hand them over to the next generations.
