Taliesin citáty
strana 4

Taliesin neboli Taliessin je nejranější velšský básník, který pracoval na rozvoji a přežití velštiny. Jeho jméno je spojeno s dílem Book of Taliesin, knihou básní, která byla sepsána ve středověku. Mnoho básní je datováno do pozdější doby , ale některé jsou starší. Jedenáct z nich je podle Ifora Williama datováno do 6. století. Věřil, že to byl bard na dvoře posledních tří britonských králů tohoto věku. V legendách dosáhl statutu „největší bard Británie“ a jako takový byl zodpovědný za posuzování básní v soutěži mezi všemi královskými bardy v Británii. Několik ocenění udělených za básně existuje na okrajích manuskriptů. Taliesinův život byl později předmětem mytologické práce Elise Gruffydda v 16. stol., který vycházel z existující ústní tradice.

Taliesin: Citáty anglicky

“I am not meet for petty men, slack their habit:
They know not, they, on what day who was made,
what hour of the fine day was born to whom,
who made him who went not to the dale of Tefwy.
They know not, they, the great Speckled Ox in headgear
with seven-score links in its collar-chain.
And when we went with Arthur, a sorry visit,
Save for seven none came up from Fort Divine Height.”

Book of Taliesin (c. 1275?), The Spoils of Annwn

“He would not journey without a foot.
He would not breed nuts without trees,
Like seeking for ants in the heath.
Like an instrument of foolish spoil,
Like the retinue of an army without a head,
Like feeding the unsheltered on lichen.”

Book of Taliesin (c. 1275?), The Fold of the Bards

“Meditating were my thoughts
On the vain poetry of the bards of Brython.
Making the best of themselves in the chief convention.
Enough, the care of the smith’s sledge-hammer.
I am in want of a stick, straitened in song,
The fold of the bards, who knows it not?”

“When God comes
A great noise will pierce us,
The day of judgment terribly.
Messengers from the door,
Wind, and sea, and fire.
lightning and thunder
A number without flattery.
The people of the world groaning
Will be concealed.”

Book of Taliesin (c. 1275?), Oh God, the God of Formation

“Monks mass like a pack of wolves
from disputing with the masters who instruct them -
They know not when deep dark and dawn divorce
nor who sends the wind, nor who moves it,
where it disappears to, what land it strikes.”

Book of Taliesin (c. 1275?), The Spoils of Annwn

“Composed for renown am I, a verse heard
on the stone-doored isle in the four-quartered fort.
Tranquillity and obscurity mingled
shiny wine their drink before their retinue.
Three fulnesses of Prydwen we went upon the main,
Save for seven none came up from Castle Rigor.”

And the paternal horn by mead-nourished payment.
Pleasant, the directing of fish in the pond;
