In a town whose hooks and curves, deys, sideroads and cul-de-sacs, intersections and crescents and sidewalks and shortcuts, complicate and busy its Iittle space, there is a particular Street. Lt is isolated f?om the town's pocked and scratchy grid, more of a road and not much of one at that. Jutting out fiom the main artery into town like a hacked off lirnb, it is covered only in tar and stone chip. There is a dirt path for walking, and primitive, grated sewers that clog up with grave1 and leaves and flood at least twice a year . But silent backhoes, front-end loaders, dozers and dump trucks at the end of the road, resting in a field of tom grass and earth, attest to new developments. Expansion will open the road to a world beyond its boundaries. Construction will reach out to other Iodes past the horizon line. Today though, the machinesy arms, claws and buckets in fiozen poses, glazed eyes dull, can merely keep watch over three children at play. There is a hockey shoot-out in progress. ''Remember, no slap shots this time, Jason," says the little goalie, wrapped in makeshift, foam shin pads, a heavy parka and a black and yellow Skidoo toque. He shuffles awkwardly from side to side on tom runners. His brother, older, body thickening and broadening in early adolescence, approaches the net in a breakaway, weaving around imaginary defensemen. 'Watch the ball, Nick," calls the third boy fiom the side of the road. He lems against his battered fiberglass stick, eyeing the action intently. 1. 2. Jason closes in on the net, fakes a wrist shot before winding back and slapping at the tennis ball. Nick drops his stick and Mth his blocker and trapper Shields his face against the barrage of stones flying off the road. The ball strikes the net's crossbar and is deflected with a bouncy pop. 'Wo sIap shots, Jason!" Nick yells, banging the stick's splintered blade on the road. "'Yeah, Jason," the other boy speaks. He has the ball now and chops it back and forth with his stick. '?t7s not fsr. Your shot is too hard and the stones fly everywhere." "Fine. Give me the ball, Dougie." Doug tips the ball up to Jason's face. Jason catches and drops the bal1 to the ground. "Smart ass," he says. His voice has a rumble to it and he clenches and relaxes his jaw while he grins at Doug. Doug is small, ten years old, the sarne age as Nick but smdler. Jason fakes a slap shot and Doug flinches. "Come on, Jason," Nick yells. '"Just do a regular breakaway. Try to deke me out." Nick moves back and forth on his runners. 'Wick, buddy," Jason says. "You look like you should hit the bathroorn or the bushes." "One more. No slap shots." "Okay, 1'11 do it right this time." Jason makes as though to start at the net but stops abruptly, winding back and smacking the ball, harder this the. More stones are 3. sent into the air, spreading like buckshot. The shot is high and the bal1 whiues over Nick's head. He ducks anyway. 'Wo fuckin' fair." Nick is looking up again. He stomps a foot, then resumes shuffling back and forth, faster now. 'Tm not playing anymore." The ball has rolled down the road towards the town's main Street. "Tm just kidding around, Nick. Go get the ball and we'll start over." Toushould probably get the ball, Jason," Doug speaks up fiom the side of the road. "You shot it." "You should probably shut the fùck up? Doug. You're not even playing. Pussyass." 'bWe's rny fiïend," Nick is yelling louder now, pacing in front of the net. 'Wy don't you leave and let us play." 'Wicky, why don't you use the bathroom before you piss yourself, You know you can7t hold it ." We's just keeping waq" Doug says. Suddenly Nick rushes bis brother. He swings his stick wildly, a weapon. Jason ducks and dodges, laughing. "Jesus, Nick," Jason sputters. 'Don't take it so hard. It's only a game." Nick gives chase in vain. Wet now shows through the seat of his pants as he cries at his brother angrily. Doug looks on, considering. He takes off &er the ball. 4. A white sedan pulIs up on the road, squashing the tennis ball under its tire. The car rolls over it and the ball is released fiom under the tire's pressure with a pop. It bounces up in relief and appears to hover in the air a moment, a fleeting flash of time. Heart of the County 1 suppose I started running because it was the thing 1 did best. Sports wise, 1 mean. Like most lads in my hometown of Richmond, 1 was hustled ont0 the football field before 1 could lace up my own cleats. But while other young muckers my age grew into positions like tùllback, winger or goaltender, positions they would likely keep for the rest of their active lives, 1 seemed to get clumsier and more awkward. As boyhood football evo!ved, fiom a clustefick of children scrarnbhg in the direction of a wildly kicked ball, to a tough but orderly competition based on ski11 and agility, 1 found myself sidelined with kneesocks clean as the day 1 first slid them over my shinpads. It was nothing short of rniraculous that 1 was spared an adolescence marked by gym period taunts and ridicule. Cross-country running delivered me fiom a lack of football prowess which could have easily led to my undoing. As a point of ?act, 1 always Ioved the running aspect of football. Mum talked into late middle age about the joy she experienced watching me run up and down the length of the field keeping up tirelessly with the play. She'd clap and cheer me on, even as the Coach yelled, 'Carter, get back in position! Let the forwards take it up field!' So Murn despaired for a time when 1 took up running. 'You only get to see the start and finish of the race,' she'd cornplain. Which was fine by my Coach and temates. I actually won their admiration by bowing out of football gracefùily and excelling at another sport. 5. 6. Now to tell you tnithfully, the solitude of running was aiways rny favounte part. When 1 raced 1 always came out well ahead of the top of the pack (first place in al1 three of rny meets in England). And 1 preferred training alone. Solo runs remained a constant variable of my afternoons in Surrey. Always the same, the footpath along the Thames from Hampton Court to Kingston. By the tirne I was thirteen, a year into my ninning life, 1had it down to forty minutes both ways. I'd follow in rhythm with the scullers who glided along the narrow watenvay, stopping on the retum to wind my way through the royal hedge maze on the palace grounds. Sometimes I'd pretend I was a comrnoner peeking over the shrubs at the princess who was confined to her charnber for loving me. Ifonly 1 could prove to the King 1 was worthy of her love, 1 knew she would be mine. Alas, as so often happens with young love, Our courtship was cut short. Before 1 could win over the dream princess with my speed on the track, Dad took a job in Canada. Our family packed up and moved to a little hamlet called Maiden, near the town of Windsor, Ontario. With such regal titles, 1 was sure I'd soon find another place to woo the princess of my mind.

  • Old and Middle Welsh David Willis ([email protected]) Department of Linguistics, University of Cambridge
    Old and Middle Welsh David Willis ([email protected]) Department of Linguistics, University of Cambridge 1 INTRODUCTION The Welsh language emerged from the increasing dialect differentiation of the ancestral Brythonic language (also known as British or Brittonic) in the wake of the withdrawal of the Roman administration from Britain and the subsequent migration of Germanic speakers to Britain from the fifth century. Conventionally, Welsh is treated as a separate language from the mid sixth century. By this time, Brythonic speakers, who once occupied the whole of Britain apart from the north of Scotland, had been driven out of most of what is now England. Some Brythonic-speakers had migrated to Brittany from the late fifth century. Others had been pushed westwards and northwards into Wales, western and southwestern England, Cumbria and other parts of northern England and southern Scotland. With the defeat of the Romano-British forces at Dyrham in 577, the Britons in Wales were cut off by land from those in the west and southwest of England. Linguistically more important, final unstressed syllables were lost (apocope) in all varieties of Brythonic at about this time, a change intimately connected to the loss of morphological case. These changes are traditionally seen as having had such a drastic effect on the structure of the language as to mark a watershed in the development of Brythonic. From this period on, linguists refer to the Brythonic varieties spoken in Wales as Welsh; those in the west and southwest of England as Cornish; and those in Brittany as Breton. A fourth Brythonic language, Cumbric, emerged in the north of England, but died out, without leaving written records, in perhaps the eleventh century.

Pinning the Daffodil and Singing Proudly: An American's Search for Modern Meaning in Ancestral Ties Abstract This paper is a collection of my personal experiences with the Welsh culture, both as a celebration of heritage in America and as a way of life in Wales. Using my family’s ancestral link to Wales as a narrative base, I trace the connections between Wales and America over the past century and look closely at how those ties have changed over time. The piece focuses on five location-based experiences—two in America and three in Wales—that each changed the way I interpret Welsh culture as a fifth-generation Welsh-American.

  • The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding?
    The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding? David Howell Vol.8 2013 International Journal of Intangible Heritage 103 The ICH of Wales The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding? David Howell Lecturer, History department, University of Wales, Newport. ABSTRACT In the last decade, appearances of the Mari Lwyd have steadily increased during winter time in Wales. A tradition based around the decoration of a horse’s skull, regulated competitive verse and song, and community integration, would in many other parts of the world be acknowledged and celebrated as intangible cultural heritage. Yet, while the number of nations to have ratified the UNESCO Convention on the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage continues to grow on an annual basis, no such examples can be found in Wales however, or any other part of the United Kingdom, due to a continuing position of reticence from the Westminster government toward the convention. Does this lack of ratification indicate that Wales is not home to any examples of intangible cultural heritage? This article explores the notion of whether Wales is home to any valid forms of intangible cultural heritage, before challenging whether the same vulnerability seen in many of the international examples of intangible heritage can be illustrated in Wales. Ultimately this will argue that Welsh intangible cultural heritage is an important, living component of contemporary Welsh culture, and that UK ratification of the treaty, rather than being something that might be desired in Wales, should in fact be considered as a necessity. Keywords Mari Lwyd, Christmas traditions, Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru (EGC), or the National Eisteddfod of Wales, Super Furry Animals (SFA), Welsh culture, competition, language festival, step-dancing, revivals.

The H’mm Foundation is named after H’m, a volume of poetry by R.S. Thomas, and because the musing sound ‘H’mm’ is an internationally familiar ‘expression’, crossing all linguistic frontiers. This literary venture has already secured the support of well-known poets and writers, including Gillian Clarke, National Poet for Wales, Jon Gower, Menna Elfyn, Nigel Jenkins, Peter Finch and Gwyneth Lewis.
