A tiny torrent of words for tremendous torrents
of water
One of our most recent commissions, in association with
Red Kite Environment, was for Brecon Beacons National
Park Authority. They asked for very brief statements that
could be carved into the timber supports of welcome panels
near some of the spectacular waterfalls in the Park. Brynach
Parri provided the Welsh versions.
At
Craig y Dinas – site of a former iron works
Toiling rivers turn mighty
engines
Nerth afonydd yn troi peiriannau
mawr
|
At
Pont Melin-fach – site of a former mill
Captured currents grind daily bread
Ffrydiau caeth yn malu bara beunyddiol
|
At
Sgwd Clun Gwyn – a precipitous waterfall
Sudden torrents drown tumbling steps
Llifiannau sydyn yn boddi grisiau serth
|
At
Cwm Porth – entrance to a series of caves
Searching waters carve dark secrets
Dyfroedd chwilgar yn cerfio tywyllwch cêl
|
At
Gwaun Hepste – an area of woodland
Seeping streams reach thirsty roots
Nentydd yn treiddio i wreiddiau sychion |
