A blind poet by the name of Homer is responsible for the two most eloquent poems in the exquisite Greek language, The Odyssey and Illiad.

 Imraul Quais, some of whose poems were among  famed Muallaqat (Suspended Poems) at Ka'bah,  one of the most expressive of the ancient Arab poets before Muhammad. In one of his poems, which was not part of the Muallaqat collection, appear four verses which were "borrowed" and inserted by Muhammad into the Quran (Surat al-Qamar [The] 54:1, 29, 31, and 46).
