Waldo Williams, born in 1904, is said to had been a teacher, passionate and enthusiastic, who used wooden silhouette cutouts of farm animals, with their “Welsh” name painted on one side. He was one of the leading Welsh language poets of the 20th century. His father was a schoolteacher, who spoke Welsh as his native language. After attending the grammar school at Narberth, he studied at the University College of Wales, (Aberystwyth), where he graduated in English in 1926. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egjSgSDMAaE
WHAT IS MAN – What is living? The broad hall found between narrow walls. What is acknowledging? Finding the one root under the branches’ tangle. What is believing? Watching at home till the time arrives for welcome. What is forgiving? Pushing your way through thorns to stand alongside your old enemy. What is singing? The ancient gifted breath drawn in creating. What is labour but making songs from the wood and the wheat? What is it to govern kingdoms? A skill still crawling on all fours. And arming kingdoms? A knife placed in a baby’s fist. What is it to be a people? A gift lodged in the heart’s deep folds. What is love of country? Keeping house among a cloud of witnesses. What is the world to the wealthy and strong? A wheel, turning and turning. What is the world to earth’s little ones? A cradle, rocking and rocking.
