R.S.Thomas lived a few miles from here, in Eglwysfach, though I never met him.<br /><br />It's interesting how light is so often equated with the supernatural or divinity, as in halos for instance; I see it as a sort of continuance of sun worship. Apparently the word for 'god' in many Indo-European languages stemmed from IE 'deivos' which is connected etymologically with the verb 'div', 'dyu,' 'to shine'. <br /><br />Winter has returned to Wales: cold, gales, hail, snow flurries, driving rain.
