The Welsh


A confused nation* in the eery shadow of deserted chapels that long ago gave up a hymn in a language they'd lost. (Not that the English or the Scottish are much better, but in a differently confused way).





*well, a loose collection of lost tribes, more like, but I wanted to sneak in an upbeat, flattering note somewhere. I am a nice guy after all, am I not?
