Download or read book The Mabinogion written by and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Then they took the flowers of the oak, and the flowers of the broom, and the flowers of the meadowsweet, and from those they conjured up the fairest and most beautiful maiden that anyone had ever seen. Celtic mythology, Arthurian romance, and an intriguing interpretation of British history — these are just some of the themes embraced by the anonymous authors of the eleven tales that make up the Welsh medieval masterpiece known as the Mabinogion. They tell of Gwydion the shape-shifter, who can create a woman out of flowers; of Math the magician whose feet must lie in the lap of a virgin; of hanging a pregnant mouse and hunting a magical boar. Dragons, witches, and giants live alongside kings and heroes, and quests of honour, revenge, and love are set against the backdrop of a country struggling to retain its independence. Sioned Davies' lively translation recreates the storytelling world of medieval Wales and re-invests the tales with the power of performance.

Download or read book Shapes Of Shiny Brow written by Bruce Rimell and published by Bruce Rimell. This book was released on 2024-02-16 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “…everyone’s got something to say with your mouth, even me…” A hyperactive, idiosyncratic and deeply personal journey into the mercurial Welsh poet-prophet figure of Taliesin, framed as a magical pilgrimage around Llyn Geirionydd in North Wales, evoking the lake and its waters as the bard’s own cauldron from which he continually emerges in different historical, mythical and fictional guises… “sometimes dreams are wiser than the waking…” Unfolding layers of meaning from the protohistorical cynfardd of the Old North to the ‘radiant brow’ of medieval legend, as well as Taliesin’s contemporary significance and links with other cultures, this crazed, garrulous exploration runs through the archetypal Celtic poet’s hall of mirrors with eccentric wit and blazing energy… “stand behind the cataract unbound, close my eyes: hear me, I speak...” Culminating in a wildly subjective, underwater encounter with Taloiastinos and the watis, two timeless and interrelated forerunners of the Taliesin mythos, and a forested fall into the mindset of the visionary poet who experiences no separation between self and other, this book is likely to be one of the most riddling, esoteric and obscure treatments of Taliesin ever released! “I am one who waits, says, I am one who watches, says, I am one who wanders off away, says…”
