Cymru Fud, Cymru Farw" (silent 1 Wales, dead Wales), was the title of a lecture befpre the Swansea Cyruiodorian in the Public Library last evening, by Mr. 1, Silyn Roberts, M.A., of Card ill. Aid. Ben, Jones, J.P., p resided. Wales, said the lecturer, had not been I eilent, for she had produced good litera- ture far back in th3 middle ages. Litera- ture is an expression of the life of a, nation. He urged that when the lan-I ?guag? is forgotten, the nation dies. From personal experience he found that those I who mastered the two languages had bet' ter English than the ordinary English- man. He thought the Welsh language was more alive than ever. The nearest point to dying in the history of the Welsh language was in'the time of Queen Eliza- beth, and that because she was a Welsh woman. The Welsh gentry, patrons of the Welsh language moved into England, and so its support was taken away. In all ages, good Welsh worth keeping had been produced, and it was being produced to- day—better poetry than is being produced I in England. He mentioned Gwynne Jones' Arthur," Parry Williams, a new poet I not yet 30 years old, on the Hal' and the Rev. J. J.
