词条 | Siôn Cent |
释义 | Siôn Cent Welsh poet also called Siôn Gwent, Siôn y Cent, Siôn Kemp, or Siôn Kempt flourished c. 1400–30 Welsh religious poet who challenged the values of the bardic tradition. According to Siôn Cent, the traditional praise of the nobles was hollow flattery and lies. His writings (poems in cywydd metre) reflect the influence of the moralists of the European Middle Ages, treating of religious or moral subjects and dwelling upon the uncertainty of life and the inevitability of death. Very little is known of him, although his poem in praise of Brecknockshire may indicate his origin. |
