Poetry, like art in general, is one of the most ancient activities of the human spirit; as a literary branch, it is older than prose. Originally, together with music, he created an art, singing; they separated over time (the lyric separated from the music at the latest), but poetry preserved a certain musicality as a memory of the ancient community: this is the verse form. Certain traditions were already developed at the rudimentary stages of culture, and before literature could be formed, poetry achieved more or less significant development in the hands of separate bodies, the singers (the greatest among the Greeks). Its development took place in different conditions for each nation, but there was always a connection between folk poetry and even more so between literary poetry, and later it became more and more developed, and the poetry of certain peoples and certain eras has a constant world literary influence on the poetry of later periods and other peoples. .
