Oh, the stories about Taliesin! You'll find some at least in the Mabinogion.

lyrics

I have seen where the rainbows end, and I’ve seen time’s wheel turning
And I can tell you this my friend, the lessons still need learning
I have been a grain of corn and I have been a river
I was here when the world was born, I’ve been gift and I’ve been giver.

I hve been a spark of flame, and I have been an ember
I have found them much the same, January and December
I’ve known man as a helpless child and as a king in power
Love and anger fierce and mild, the root, seed, thorn and flower.

But do you know why breath comes and goes, and where shadows go in sunlight
Do you know why the rivers flow and which plants grow by starlight?
I have been where the red kite flies and where the whales are dying
And I have seen through a dolphin’s eyes and I’m not convinced we’re trying.
