Brunnen Alfons Tuor, Rabius

His poems "Allas steilas" (to the stars) and "Il semnader" (the sower) are among the most famous and most quoted Rhaeto-Romanic texts. Some of his poems have also been set to music many times and are still part of the canon of Rhaeto-Romanic singing culture. Thus, the poem Allas steilas has become known above all as a setting with the melody of the composer Tumasch Dolf. In Allas steilas, a lyrical ego searches for the meaning of the short life on earth and asks in a penetrating way why one has to suffer so much on earth. Alfons Tuor himself suffered from physical pain throughout his life. In 1961, the municipality built a well in memory of its poet in Rabius.
