Wow. Fantastic rude medieval Welsh poet.
I wonder if Gerard Manley Hopkins ever read her. He learned classical Welsh poetic meter when studying theology at St. Beuno's. I've always thought he was trying to incorporate cynghanedd into his own poetry — sheer plod makes plough down sillion shine
. And his poems are all about religion and (in his case, intensely suppressed) sexuality.
