An interesting story of how poets create realities. Virgil is one of the great universal poets. I remember reading some legends about him; in fact, I remember one that told that he once gave a fly a funeral. I don't know if it's real. In Venezuela, we have a poet named Cruz Salmerón Acosta, very appreciated by his people called Manicuare. Legend has it that Manicuare lived through a terrible drought. The earth was a hard and arid crust without trees; the animals died of thirst and the sun. But when Cruz Salmerón died, he said he would send rain and so it happened. With the death of Salmeron, the rain came to the people. It is also said that every time a year of the poet's death is commemorated, it pours down in the village. Thank you for sharing, @ladyrebecca.
