The Visions Of The Sleeping Bard

By Ellis Wynne, George Borrow, Wynne Ellis

Book Overview

The Visions of the Sleeping Bard is a collection of poems written by Welsh poet Ellis Wynne. Originally published in 1703, the book contains a series of visions experienced by a sleeping bard, who is visited by various figures from Welsh folklore and mythology. The poems explore themes such as love, death, nature, and the supernatural, and are written in a style that combines traditional Welsh poetic forms with elements of European literature. The book is considered a classic of Welsh literature, and has been translated into English several times. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Welsh culture and poetry.Then away we went over hills and through forests, across seas and valleys, over castles and towers, rivers and rocks, and where should we alight but at one of the gates of the daughters of Belial, at the rear of the City of Destruction, where I noticed that the three gateways of Destruction contracted into one at the back, and opened upon the same place--a murky, vaporous, pestilent place, full of noisome mists, and terrible lowering clouds.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
