Ultimate Poems: In English, French, German and Arabic

Language is a means of human communication, expressing human feelings and ideas. Poetry is an ultimate form of expression and communication and, perhaps, the closest to perfection. Poetry is music comprising words, rhymed and metred, and rendered by recitation, not by musical instruments. Hence the "music" of Gilgamesh, Imru'il Kais* and Homer precedes, by centuries if not millennia, the music of Beethoven and Mozart, that requires sophisticated instruments to render. Each tune in this "repertoire" conveys deeply-felt content, relating to Truth, Beauty and the Good. I hope that readers will love both the tune and the content, whatever the language.
