I saw this recently in a magazine:-

CREV.GWIR.IN.THESE.STONES.

FEL.GWYDR.HORIZONS.

OFWRNAIS.AWEN.SING

I speak Welsh and English fluently and it does not make sense to me. Have I only seen part of the inscription? Is there more?

  1. The inscription is two poems, one Welsh and one English. The English is 'In these stones horizons sing' and the Welsh 'Crev Gwir Fel Gwydr O Ffwrnais Awen' (creating truth in glass from the furnace of inspiration)


  2. The same Welsh passage is originally from a poem by Gwyneth Lewis, which was part of the inaugural music composition "In These Stones Horizons Sing", composed by Karl Jenkins. Literally the English version goes like this:

    "Creating truth like glass through the furnace [of] inspiration".

  3. In reality it says, 'Another waste of money,trying to make Cardiff into something it's not!'

    Cardiff born and bred.

    No Yahoo - I don't have a lot of punctuation,and I know how to spell the name of the city of my birth!

    A humour by-pass, by the thumbs down person!

  4. Diddorol, Dwi wedi ymweld â'r lle a wastad wedi meddwl beth yffach mae'r geiriau yna'n golygu, Roeddwn i'n deall pob un ar wahân ond doedd dim clem 'da fi beth oeddent yn meddwl.
