  Britannia Biographies: St. Wilfred the Elder, Bishop of York
However, Wilfred had come there to learn rather than to see, and accordingly made good use of his time, and gained all the instruction he could in the rules of ecclesiastical discipline and the true calculation of Easter from the Archdeacon Boniface.
It seemed to Wilfred that in the customs he had learned at Rome and the calculation of Easter he had received there, he had found a more excellent way than that known to those about him, the members of the Celtic Church to whom he owed his first lessons in the rudiments of Christianity.
Wilfred, instead of dissuading her from thus forsaking the plain duties to which God had called her, encouraged her in her resolution and himself placed the monastic veil upon her head.

 First World War.com - Prose & Poetry - Wilfred Owen and his Early Editors
Wilfred Owen is considered by many to be perhaps the best war poet in English, if not world, literature.
Thus, due to his premature death, it is clear that Wilfred Owen was not responsible for the development of his own reputation.
It is not surprising that, given the upheaval and the social and self-examination caused by the war, Wilfred Owen, who so vividly portrayed the horrors of war, became one of the most read of the war poets.

 ARTISTS ON LINE: Thomas Wilfred and his Clavilux
Wilfred called his color organ the Clavilux, and named the artform of color-music projections "Lumia." He stressed polymorphous, fluid streams of color slowly metamorphosing.
Wilfred turned from a flourishing career as a singer to creating color music under the influence of the American architect Claude Bragdon, who relentlessly propogandized for Theosophy and the fourth dimension.
Wilfred installed a Clavilux containing four tiers of 32 projectors; displayed one of Van Dearing Perrine's color organs and the original Huntington L.I. keyboards.

 Harvard Gazette: Wilfred Cantwell Smith
Wilfred was born on 21 July 1916 in Toronto.
Wilfred's engagement with India was already evident in his thesis on Islam in India, which was rejected at Cambridge University, as his adviser H.A.R. Gibb of Oxford (and later Harvard) predicted, because of its sharp Marxist critique of the British Raj.
Wilfred was one of the last puritans, but never imposed his moral rigor on others - a measure of his respect for every individual and of his insistence on taking people of all faiths and cultures equally seriously.

 Wilfred Owen
While Wilfred was slowly recovering at Craiglockhart Hospital near Edinburgh, he met fellow war poet Siegfried Sassoon, who recognised his talent and collaborated with him on what was to become his most famous poem, Anthem for Doomed Youth.
Wilfred hero-worshiped Sassoon, and in return the older poet was sympathtic towards the homoerotic element in the young man's poetry; with the effect that Wilfred began to feel more at ease with his now obvious homosexuality.
When his great friend Sassoon was sent home wounded in 1918, Wilfred felt it his duty to return to the front line and testify, in poetry, to the suffering of his comrades.
