About this listen
It's because of ancient scribes that we get a chance to glance into the lives of ordinary peoples in the ancient kingdoms of Sumer and Egypt, were it not for those clay tablets, stone statues, wall carvings, and papyrus scrolls, we would still be very ignorant about our ancient ancestors. It's hard to imagine that the Persian language, culture and most aspects of its history would have been lost forever were it not for the efforts of some poets who completely dedicated their lives to their work.
Literature is so precious that its destruction can cast an entire kingdom into oblivion. Had some hooligans not set fire to the library of Alexandria over a millennia ago, Egypt and the world would be probably a different place now, there was so much valuable content lost in the burning of those scrolls, content that ranged from history, culture, ancient technologies, ancient medical practices and so much more. It's such a somber moment in history for literature in that so much of humanity was lost forever. Empires that survived the longest are those that closely guarded their local literature, they grew wealthier and became more prosperous over the centuries. The Mongol empire for instance was the largest land empire in history, yet so little of their history and cultural heritage survives to this day, this is simply because they had little value for written texts, all Genghis Khan ever cared about was thundering across the plains on horseback while collecting as much loot as he could. Most of the stories we knew about Mongols were articles written by other neighboring kingdoms and ancient travelers. So much of their history got lost when their empire crumbled.
Anyways, we are done with the history class
Now lets write some poetry...
Big Valchi suddenly has something in mind that he thinks he should get down onto paper, he scrambles for a scratchpad, unfortunately, he finds none, what's available on sight is only a tattered old piece of scroll turned brown from aging, he finds a pen, he scribbles a few words with it, when it quickly runs out of ink, he hurriedly tries to put his table in order as he thinks out these words, "there's an interesting story I have just remembered, somebody get me my quill as quickly as possible before I forget," he painfully had to pluck off a piece of feather from his left wing, he then turns sideways, he looks right and left, "WHERE IS MY INKPOT?" he exclaims.
