On the contrary, he followed the disadvantages and miseries of poetry to conclude that prose is better than it is not available, And poetry - in his view - called for bad literature, and preaches lies and the disadvantages of morality, and victory for vanity, in addition to being available to the weight that is necessary to sing and sing, and singing leads to immorality.
