Mm. Well, what do you like about the T.S. Elliot? That might help me figure out what next to recommend.

And-- even if there wasn't formal literature where you come from, there must have been stories. People always tell stories. It's just how people are. And songs. Maybe there's no orchestras or bands or musical instruments, but people still end up making up marching or working chants.

And in a lot of ways, poetry is song without music.
