We Klingons are well known for our GLORIOUS songs, GREAT poems, and our MOST HONORABLE stories. Here are a few of some of the finest of our short literary works.
So fiercely did it beat, so loud was the sound., that the Gods cried out "On this day we have brought forth the strongest heart in all the heavens!
None can stand before it without trembling at its strength."
But then the Klingon Heart weakened, its steady rhythm faltered.
And the Gods said "Why have you weakened so? We have made you the strongest heart in all of creation?"
And the Klingon Heart said "I am alone."
And the Gods knew that they had erred. So they went back to their forge and brought forth another heart.
But the second heart beat stronger than the first. The first was jealous of its power.
Fortunately the second heart was tempered by wisdom.
It said "If we join together no force can stop us."
And when the two hearts began to beat together they filled the heavens with a terrible sound.
For the first time the Gods knew fear. They tried to flee but it was too late.
The Klingon Hearts destroyed the Gods and filled the Heavens with ashes.
To this very day no one can oppose the beating of two Klingon Hearts.
The Klingon Anthem: A battle cry that makes every Warrior's blood rise!

Hear! Daughters too. The blood of battle washes clean. The Warrior brave and true. We fight, we love, and then we kill. Our lives burn short and bright. Then we die with honor and join our fathers in the Black Fleet where we battle forever, battling on through the Eternal fight. |

A storm was heading towards the city of Quin'lat. The people sort protection within the walls, all except one man who remained outside. Kahless went to him and said "What are you doing?" "I am not afraid of the wind", he said, "I will not hide my face behind stone and mortar." "I will stand before the wind and make it respect me." Kahless honoured his choice and went inside. The next day the storm came and the man was killed. Kahless said to the people, "The wind does not respect a fool."
