Dafydd ap Gwilym, Waless greatest poet, explored love, desire and the natural world with startling frankness and virtuoso wit. In a sequence freely adapted from Dafydds work, Matthew Francis brings him to life for the modern English-speaking reader: as he waits in the woods for his lover, ogles the girls in church or causes chaos during a midnight assignation. Plants, birds and animals are fondly invoked while weather and the elements - wind, waves, fog and ice - play their part. Passionate in his treatment of sexual themes, Dafydd is equally ready to make fun of his own susceptibility. These delightful poems remain, across the centuries, intimate, urgent and timeless.One of our most skilled, intriguing and consistently ambitious poets.

This book is ideal for students and professors of theology, pastor theologians, and any Christians seeking theological depth. Discover the beauty of Gods glory revealed in the ascended Christ and order The Glory of the Ascension today.

This is a time travelers guide to the history of soccer, tracing its originsfrom a humble beginning to an established sport beloved worldwide. It is a story that spans five thousand years, from ancient Egypt to MesoAmerica, from the Greek Empire to Chinese Dynasties, and from the Roman Empire to medieval Britain.From the Middle Ages onwards, Britain and Ireland unfurl their lineage, from the lesser-known trapball and stoolball to the lamentably extinct camping and knappan. All forms find a voice in this book, as do hockey and hurling, baseball and bowling, tennis and golf. Primarily a narrative of British and Irish ball games, esteemed foreigners are welcomed: baggataway, knattleikur, soule, kolven, calcio. Many games come to life, revealing their motivations and their complex inner world. Still, soccer is firmly center stage. This is, after all, its picaresque journey. As the games sweep across history, the social, religious, and political contexts are threaded throughout, and this book is peppered with news snippets, anecdotes, comedy, and intrigue, which give the centuries life. Crammed with eccentric sports ephemera, untold tales, and unearthed acts, The Game That Would Be King is the most comprehensive work on the early history of ball games ever written.
