Dante's Poem of Light

Dante's Poem of Light: Conversing with Dante in Dream {1} is the beginning part (Tale One) of a fictional narrative trilogy in the tercet stanza. It unfolds an imaginary conversation between two characters in a dream: A sincere heathen dreamer and the spirit of his revered poet, Dante (1265- 1321), the author of the Divine Comedy. The present work was inspired by the Divine Comedy of Dante to follow its form and substance as much as it may be feasible by a novice. The dreamer's Tale One consists of the following thirteen episodes, each called Song (similar to the Dante's Canto). Song 1: Dante and a Dreamer. Song 2: Conception of the Divine Comedy. Song 3: Poetic Transfiguration. Song 4: The Aeneid of Vergil: Book Six. Song 5: On the Nature of Things by Lucretius. Song 6: The Myth of Er in The Republic of Plato. Song 7: The Epic of Astral Messenger Er-Dante. Song 8: Enigma of the Limbo. Song 9: Invention of Diverse State-religions by Various Theocracies. Song 10: Beholding God as a Simple Light. Song 11: With Beatrice in the Paradise. Song 12: Farewell between Beatrice and Dante. Song 13: Confession of the Dreamer.
