"A woman who concerns herself with poetry should, I believe, either be a
silent Muse and inspire the poets by her womanly presence, as Queen Elizabeth
and the Countess of Derby did, or she should be the Muse in a complete sense:
she should be in turn Arianrhod, Blodeuwedd and the Old Sow of Maenawr Penardd
who eats her farrow, and should write in each of these capacities with antique
authority. She should be the visible moon: impartial, loving, severe,
wise."
