    “We need the tonic of wildness,—to wade sometimes in marshes where the bittern and the meadow-hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The populations of Pwllheli, Criccieth,

    First in good Welsh and then in fluent English,”
