QuoteReplyTopic: strongest poetry? Posted: 14-Dec-2007 at 04:48
which language in the world has the strongest peotry with the deepest meanings? I speak urdu and urdu is one of the most deepest emotional languages, ofcourse most of the urdu peotry comes from persian (farsi) and arabic so farsi and arabic are obviously very deep. But what about other languages?
Cant really say myself... I havent experience any other languages and how it feels when reading a poem besides English and Chinese which to me both have deep emotional language tone when reading something like poems. I guess that in every language theres always some hidden emotional meaning to it and poems can bring it out no matter what language... just my opinion.

I think that most languages have great poetry, and most poetry is best enjoyed in the original. :)
I don't know, I know italian and croatian....but the croat poets and poems are nothing special, and once I heard a translation from coratian to italian and in italian it is better...thou I prefer poetry in english
For too long I've been parched of thirst and unable to quench it.
