Ni rydd farn eithr ar arnawdd,
Ni châr yn ei gyfar gawdd.
Ni ddeily rhyfel, ni ddilyn,
Ni threisia am ei dda ddyn.
Ni bydd ry gadarn arnam,
Ni yrr hawl gymedrawl gam.
--
He'll speak his mind only on ploughs; He hates dissension where he works. He'll make and follow no war, He'll oppress no one for his goods, He's never brutal with us Nor will he pursue false claims.

Line 17.

Char embodies the ideal of the poet fighting for the nobility of the world — the leader of a small resistance group dedicated to honoring the ten thousand things of the universe. Mountains and rivers, flowers and vipers, meteors and rain — everything teems with meaning for this poet. … Illumination was his theme, his method — "For me lightning lasts," Char declared. His work is an essay in revelation.

 

Rene Char

 

Ni cheffir eithr o'i weithred
Aberth Crist I borthi cred.
Bywyd ni chaiff, ni beiwn,
Pab nac ymherawdr heb hwn,
Na brenin naelwin hoywlyw,
Dien ei bwyll, na dyn byw.

The cries of a dying dog
are to be blotted out
as best I can.
René Char
you are a poet who believes
in the power of beauty
to right all wrongs.
I believe it also.
With invention and courage
we shall surpass
the pitiful dumb beasts,
let all men believe it,
as you have taught me also
to believe it.

Jung Ritter lere / got lip haben frawen io ere / So wechst dein ere
Uebe ritterschaft und lere / kunst dy dich zyret und in krigen sere hofiret
Ringens gut fesser / glefney sper swert unde messer
menlich bederben / unde in andern henden vorterben
Haw dreyn und hort dar / rawsche ym trif ader la farn
das in dy weisen hassen dy man siet preisen
Dorauf dich zosse alle ding haben lenge unde mosse
Und was du wilt treiben by guter vornunft saltu bleiben
czu crust ader czu schimpf / habe froelichen mut mit limpf
So magstu achten und mit gutem mute betrachten
Was du solt fueren und keyn im dich rueren
Wen guter mut mit kraft macht eyns wedersache czagehaft
dornoch dich richte gib keynem forteil mit ichte
Tumkunheit meide vier ader sechs nicht vortreibe
mit deynem oebermut biss sitik das ist dir gut /
der ist eyn kuener man der synem gleichen tar bestan
Is ist nicht schande vier ader sechs flien von hande [fol. 18r]
