Stran 132 - In these lay a [great] multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered [waiting for the moving of the water]. 4 [For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water...
Stran 46 - I have suffered hunger for the Son of the Virgin. I have been fostered in the land of the Deity, I have been teacher to all intelligences, I am able to instruct the whole universe. I shall be until the day of doom on the face of the earth ; And it is not known whether my body is flesh or fish. Then I was for nine months In the womb of the hag Ceridwen ; I was originally little Gwion, And at length I am Taliesin.
Stran 107 - I could not even promise that easily or hastily without the advice of my friends." At length, however, when I perceived that he was anxious for my services, though I knew not why, I promised him that, if my life was spared, I would return to him after six months, with such a reply as should be agreeable to him as well as advantageous to me and mine. With this answer he was satisfied, and when I had given him a pledge to return at the appointed...
Stran 46 - I have been three periods in the prison of Arianrod ; I have been the chief director of the work of the tower of Nimrod ; I am a wonder whose origin is not known. I have been in Asia with Noah in the ark...
Stran 111 - I had in hand, for want of assistance, (for it was then the height of the corn harvest, and not a man was to be found whose time and hands were unoccupied,) I employed a great part of one afternoon in digging in search of this stone, and having discovered it, I cleared away all the earth about it.

Stran 99 - ... that doctrine conquered which had on its side the voice of the universal Christian consciousness, and which found a ready point of union in the whole life and experience of the church, as expressed in its prayers and in all its liturgical forms.
Stran 9 - The three primary requisites of poetical Genius; an eye that can see Nature, a heart that can feel Nature, and a resolution that dares follow nature.
Stran 6 - ... as pupils, who treat them with the greatest respect. For it is they who decide in all controversies, whether public or private, and they judge all causes, whether of murder, of a disputed inheritance, or of the boundaries of estates.

Stran 137 - ... Aberdaron I took boat for Bardsey Island, which lies about three leagues to the west. The mariners seemed tinctured with the piety of the place ; for they had not rowed far, but they made a full stop, pulled off their hats, and offered up a short prayer. After doubling a headland, the island appears full in view ; we passed under the lofty mountain which forms one side ; after doubling the further end, we put into a little sandy creek, bounded by low rocks, as is the whole level part On landing,...
Stran 45 - Primary chief bard am I to Elphin, And my original country is the region of the summer stars ; Idno and Heinin called me Merddin, At length every king will call me Taliesin.
