dc.description.abstract	It is strange but not surprising that what Mqhayi wrote about more than hundred years ago still applies and is even more relevant in contemporary contexts. This article, with its main focus on 'traditional poetry and essay: in context'- through the employment of biblical images, phraseology and some linguistic elements, IS an attempt to demonstrate the unparalleled power of poetry permeated by the biblical spirit. The me;~sure of Mqhayi's strength and uticulation is in his unique artistic ability- using biblical language as a literary device.	en
