The Wind (poem)
"The Wind" (Welsh: ''Y Gwynt'') is a 64-line love poem in the form of a ''cywydd'' by the 14th-century Welsh poet Dafydd ap Gwilym. Dafydd is widely seen as the greatest of the Welsh poets, and this is one of his most highly praised works. Rachel Bromwich called it "one of the greatest of all his poems", while the academic critic Andrew Breeze has hailed it as "a masterpiece" and "a work of genius", noting especially its "rhetorical splendour". Summary The poet opens by addressing the wind, calling it a strange being, going where it wills, and subject to none of the physical or legal restraints of ordinary human life. After praising it for its power the poet goes on to compare it to an author, a sower of leaves, and a jester. Then he asks the wind to visit Uwch Aeron [the northern part of Ceredigion, from where Parth came], and, paying no heed to her husband Bwa Bach to visit the poet's lover Morfudd, on whose account he is an exile from his native land. The wind is to send th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
