A bard here dwelt, more fat than bard becomes
Who void of envy, guile and lust of gain,
On virtue still and nature's pleasing themes
Poured forth his unpremeditated strain.
--

Potter bears a grudge against potter, and craftsman against craftsman, and beggar is envious of beggar, and bard of bard.
Hesiod
Poetry is the work of the bard and of the people who inspire him.
Jose Marti
“I can’t make sense out of that girl,” he said to the bard. “Can you?”
“Never mind,” Fflewddur said. “We aren’t really expected to.”Lloyd Alexander
Many a bard's untimely death
Lends unto his verses breath;
Here's a song was never sung:
Growing old is dying young.Edna St. Vincent Millay
Abiding in heaven was he, my desire,
Against the eagle, against the fear of the unskilful.
I am a bard, and I am a harper,
I am a piper, and I am a crowder.
Of seven score musicians the very great enchanter.Taliesin
