Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Grave of Alun the bard John Blackwell was a native of North Wales who started out as a shoemaker's apprentice but became enthralled with Welsh poetry and history. He was sponsored to go to Oxford, was ordained and wrote under the bardic name Alun. He was vicar of Manordeifi from 1833 until his death in 1840.
There is also a commemorative tablet to him within the church. See http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/s-BLAC-JOH-1797.html His lyric poetry, in free metre, was influenced both the English romantic movement and by Methodist hymns. The last stanza of his ode to a nightingale (cf. Keats!) is translated thus: Though the worry almost numbs her heart She'll not complain Nor tire her dear ones with distress -- Her smile hides her pain. Nor ends her song the long night through Until bright hope shall dawn; Shining like an eye of gold Through the clear lids of morn. |
