poetry? That was on the times of "court nobles" it all depends on the 
time frame. You cant say that nobles from the year 1000 did quote 
poetry. There are so many people who think that nobles were chivalric 
and good people. Newsflash, they weren`t.
And there were times when the nobles were the *only* ones who fought! 
You cant say that it wasnt like that.
Anyway due to my horrific skill of saying what I mean in english I will 
stop discussing this subject.

Märt,
