Welsh Landscape by R. S. Thomas
To live in Wales is to be conscious
At dusk of the spilled blood
That went into the making of the wild sky,
Dyeing the immaculate rivers
In all their courses.
It is to be aware,
Above the noisy tractor
And hum of the machine
Of strife in the strung woods,
Vibrant with sped arrows.
You cannot live in the present,
At least not in Wales.
There is the language for instance,
The soft consonants
Strange to the ear.
There are cries in the dark at night
As owls answer the moon,
And thick ambush of shadows,
Hushed at the fields' corners.
There is no present in Wales,
And no future;
There is only the past,
Brittle with relics,
Wind-bitten towers and castles
With sham ghosts;
Mouldering quarries and mines;
And an impotent people,
Sick with inbreeding,
Worrying the carcase of an old song. To live in Wales is to be conscious
At dusk of the spilled blood
That went into the making of the wild sky,
Dyeing the immaculate rivers
In all their courses.
It is to be aware,
Above the noisy tractor
And hum of the machine
Of strife in the strung woods,
Vibrant with sped arrows.
You cannot live in the present,
At least not in Wales.
There is the language for instance,
The soft consonants
Strange to the ear.
There are cries in the dark at night
As owls answer the moon,
And thick ambush of shadows,
Hushed at the fields' corners.
There is no present in Wales,
And no future;
There is only the past,
Brittle with relics,
Wind-bitten towers and castles
With sham ghosts;
Mouldering quarries and mines;
And an impotent people,
Sick with inbreeding,
Worrying the carcase of an old song.
THE ULIMATE IN WELSH HISTORIC AMNESIA.
BE MINDFUL, NOT LEAST 'YESSSERS' THAT EDWARD I MARCHED THROUGH LONDON INTO WESTMINSTER ABBEY WITH OUR 'CROES NAID' LEADING THE WAY. THIS YEAR ENCOURAGED BY WELSH TRAITORS 'CARLO' MARCHED INTO WESTMINSTER ABBEY FOR HIS CORONATION WITH A SO CALLED 'CROSS OF WALES' AT FRONT. QUITE SICKENING BUT MORE SICKENING IS FACT THAT NO WELSH POLITICAL AND MEDIA OR CULTURAL PERSONALITIES COMMENTED - THEY ALL DUCKED!

PS
WHAT POINT IN A MILLION MORE 'CYMRY CYMRAEG' IF THEY KNOW NO WELSH HISTORY - THEY WILL JUST BE 'BRITS'.
GUESS WE GOT TO ACCEPT REALITY
IT'S GAME OVER
