« All quotes from this author
 

Nythod ddwyn, cyd nithud ddail,
Ni'th dditia neb, ni'th etail,
Na llu rhugl, na llaw rhaglaw,
Na llafn glas na llif na glaw.
--
Winnowing leaves, you steal nests, None charge you, you're not halted By armed band, lieutenant's hand, Blue blade or flood or downpour.
--
"Y Gwynt" (The Wind), line 13; translation by Joseph P. Clancy, from Gwyn Jones (ed.) The Oxford Book of Welsh Verse in English (Oxford: OUP, 1977) p. 39.

We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky.
Put your eye right up to the glas.
Here we'll find the constellation of the heart.
Steer your life by these stars
On the unconditional chance
'Tis here where Hell and Heaven dance.
This is the constellation of the heart.
