Unto Lineage Royal: A Midsummer’s Dream
About this ebook
Richard of Eire the self-originating philosopher, poet, artist, and publisher presents this metaphor rich life regression work as a miracle for our own day and a blessing for the generations to come. By means of dialogues, poems, letters and articles on love, culture, heritage, morality, and the environment he visits a past of himself in the ‘present’ rather than a past of himself in the ‘past’ per se. This beautifully engaging compact offering is a work of fiction based on a good deal of factual input; a cornucopia of literary unpredictability. The transcending message of this chanson d’amour parfumée may be best summed up by stating that while love invites us to love it is to friendship that we are we called. A beautiful volume inspiring ardent trust, hope, and love in self throughout the ages. The work is presented in a ‘status update format’ embroidered with the author’s own exquisite 185 digital artworks: all in colour. Note: in the print edition the artworks are in greyscale.
The fonts and page numbering in this ebook correspond to the 2009 hardback edition.
