DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Virgil’s Last Dream of Aeneas and Homer by Art Aeon is a fictional narrative poem in the tercet stanza. It unfolds the imaginary dialogues between Augustus (63 BCE-14 CE), the first Roman emperor, and Varius Rufus (74-14 BCE), a literary executor of the great Roman poet, Publius Vergilius Maro (70-19 BCE), known as Virgil. Varius reports Virgil’s untimely death to Augustus and reveals that he keeps Virgil’s unpublished manuscript of The Aeneid. At Augustus’s request, Varius relates a succinct gist of the first six books of The Aeneid and what Virgil told him at his death about his numinous last dream on how the spirit of Aeneas guided Virgil to Dis to meet with the spirit of Homer, and what they discussed on the epic poetry: In his dream, Virgil prayed to muse Calliope for inspiration to bring his Aeneid to a meaningful conclusion. Calliope suggested that Virgil invoke Aeneas to guide him for a supernatural adventure to meet Homer in Dis and ask for expert advice in improving his new epic. At Virgil’s sincere invocation, Aeneas’s spirit appeared to him. Eventually, Aeneas guided Virgil to the palace of the queen of the dead, Proserpina. In an impromptu symposium, held by Proserpina at the plea of Aeneas, Virgil met Homer-Meles, the author of The Iliad, and Homer-Outis, the author of The Odyssey. Virgil recited his Aeneid for his revered Greek poets. After their earnest and enlightening discussions, the Greek bards convinced Virgil that his Aeneid was as good as a human could achieve. Proserpina announced that Virgil’s visit to Dis was overdue; he should return to the world of the living. At that point, Virgil awakes from his numinous dream and finds his dear friend Varius, waiting by his bed. He realizes that the time has come for him to depart from this world to Dis. Virgil requests Varius to publish The Aeneid as it is and impart his dream of Aeneas and Homer to others. Then Virgil gently passes away in peace.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Du Fu [杜 甫] with his Last Pilgrim is a fictional narrative poem about the poetry and life of Dù Fǔ [杜 甫] (712-770), the great Chinese poet, revered as the ‘Poet-Saint.’ It unfolds imaginary dialogues between Du Fu and a fictional character, called ‘Bright Moon’: An earnest young admirer of Du Fu, who visits the sick, frail poet stranded on his worn boat-hut adrift the Yangtze River on his final day. Entreated by Bright Moon, who wishes to be his new pupil, Du Fu reminisces about his happy youth, how he studied poetry, and recites classic poems of Lǐ Bái [李 白] (701-762), Wáng Wéi [王 維] (701 -761), and Táo Yuān Míng [陶 淵 明] (365–427) for his new pupil to appreciate. Du Fu relates to the new pupil his indignations, frustrations, agonies, and utter despairs on vile corrupted rulers and his sincere and compassionate sympathy for the helpless, innocent common people by recounting his own experiences, which he had bravely revealed in his heart-rending and moving ballads. Suddenly, sick and frail Du Fu collapses and swoons. When he recovers, he relates his mysterious dream to his elated pupil: Li Bai came to see Du Fu on his boat; they celebrated their blissful reunion by exchanging poetic chants. The full moon was rising on the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, Li Bai jumped off the skiff, as if he tried to soar up to the moon. Then Du Fu awoke from the strange dream. When he finishes recalling his dream, a bright shooting star falls. Du Fu blesses Bright Moon to write pure earnest poems deep from his heart and soul; he gently passes away in peace.
