99.999% of Americans and 70% of Brits can't even pronounce:
Arianrhod, Blodeuwedd and the Old Sow of Maenawr Penardd

"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."
