Frasi di Taliesin
pagina 4

Taliesin è stato un poeta britannico, il più antico poeta di lingua gallese del quale siano sopravvissute alcune opere.

Il suo nome è spesso associato con il Libro di Taliesin, opera redatta nel Basso Medioevo . I manoscritti di alcuni poemi a lui attribuiti sono relativamente tardi , ma alcuni sono più antichi, e undici di essi, secondo lo studioso Ifor Williams, risalgono addirittura al VI secolo. Si pensa che Taliesin fosse stato un bardo nelle corti di almeno tre re britannici della zona del Galles. Secondo la leggenda egli fu nominato "Capo Bardo di Britannia" ed era perciò responsabile di giudicare le competizioni di poesia tra tutti i bardi della Britannia. La vita di Taliesin costituì più tardi il soggetto di un'opera mitologica del XVI secolo scritta da Elis Gruffydd, che probabilmente riportò tradizioni orali che esistevano da molto tempo. Il suo nome si trova come Taliessin nella raccolta Idilli del re di Alfred Tennyson, e in alcune opere posteriori. Wikipedia

Taliesin: Frasi in inglese

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
