Letter to Pierre de Ronsard begins with an image not of glory, but of solitude and loss—a poet once crowned by laurels now lying beneath disturbed soil, his tomb dishonored by storms of fanaticism and revolution. The admiration poured into this letter is tempered by the irony that while Ronsard sought a humble resting place by the Loire, shaded by trees and remembered only by his verse, his grave instead bore the brunt of turmoil. Yet, that broken tomb does not mark the end of his legacy. His poetry,…-

LETTER–To Percy Bysshe Shelley
Letter to Percy Bysshe Shelley begins with a nod to your lifelong disregard for public approval, a stance rare among poets of your time. You were not driven by fame, nor did you tailor your words for comfort. Yet the irony lies in how the same public you ignored has elevated you after death. You feared your voice might vanish in scorn, but the echo of your verses still vibrates across generations. What once stirred scandal now inspires reverence, and even those who dismissed you grudgingly acknowledge your…-

LETTER–To Omar Khayyam
Letter to Omar Khayyam opens not with formality, but with a breeze—the kind that stirs rose petals over your resting place, reminding us how you taught the world to notice what fades. These petals, caught mid-fall, echo the very verses that made you unforgettable. You did not plead with eternity or argue for paradise. Instead, you toasted the present with a full cup, choosing laughter over longing. Your words, carved in the wine-drenched air of Persia, still carry the scent of warmed earth and distant…-

Letter to Monsieur de Molière, Valet de Chambre du Roi opens with a gracious nod to the dual magnificence of French theatre and monarchy, suggesting that your elevation of comedy runs parallel to Louis XIV's refinement of the state. While kings may command armies and build empires, you, through satire and sharp human insight, built a mirror—one that society still cannot ignore. What you did for laughter was not to make it cheap, but to shape it as a tool for reflection, even reform. In your plays,…

LETTER–To Master Isaak Walton
Letter to Master Isaak Walton opens with a warm tribute to the legacy of quiet joy that Walton bestowed through his writings, particularly The Compleat Angler. The author remembers a gentler time, when streams flowed clear and freely through green countryside just outside London. These waters once offered solace to weary minds and provided an equal pleasure to the seasoned sportsman and curious novice alike. Now, with cities creeping outward and smoke blackening the skies, such calm spaces grow fewer. The…-

LETTER–To M. Chapelain
Letter to M. Chapelain begins with a spirited defense of truth against the fanciful exaggerations that often slip into tales of exploration and knightly valor. The writer warns against false accounts, cloaked in noble language, which describe mythical lands with more imagination than honesty. These narratives, filled with dragons, gold-paved cities, and miraculous relics, serve more to entertain than to inform, reflecting a long tradition of exaggeration in both medieval chronicles and modern colonial…-

LETTER–To Lucian of Samosata
Letter to Lucian of Samosata opens with an image of that fabled land where souls of laughter dwell undisturbed, where you, Lucian, might now be delighting in an endless banquet of irony, jest, and philosophical banter. One imagines Heine tossing witty remarks like grapes across the table, while Plato, no longer forced to defend his forms, smiles indulgently at your mockery of solemn pretenders. In that imagined island of light, you sit beside Voltaire and Rabelais, not as rivals, but as fellow craftsmen of…-

LETTER–To Lord Byron
Letter to Lord Byron begins with a spirited nod to your reputation—grand, scandalous, and still undecided in the hands of modern critics. The pen that writes to you carries both admiration and a grin, acknowledging that no figure in English letters has divided taste with such drama. Where Leigh Hunt once addressed you as “noble,” this letter does so with a blend of respect and irreverence, much like your own poetry—bold in tone, layered in intent. In the drawing rooms of your time, and now in…-

LETTER–To Jane Austen
Letter to Jane Austen begins with a quiet yet sincere admiration for a literary voice that once echoed in drawing rooms, now faint amid the louder tones of modern fiction. The author opens by noting how Austen’s art—subtle, moral, and finely tuned—has drifted from favor in an era that hungers for urgent passions, bold causes, and dramatic upheaval. Austen's heroines, though modest in scope and setting, are painted with an intelligence and clarity unmatched in the broader romantic tradition. Their…-

LETTER–To Herodotus
Letter to Herodotus opens not with reverence but with a lightly sardonic tone, as the author sets out on a pilgrimage of sorts to trace the truth behind your renowned tales. This journey leads to the island known as Britain, where ancient rivers such as the Thames still flow, though now flanked by a sprawling metropolis more consumed with modern machinery than memories of antiquity. There is little curiosity among its people about the classical past; Herodotus, if known at all, is regarded more as a…-
