“I must not pass over in silence the mountains called by the Welsh Eryri, but by the British Snowdon, or the mountains of Snow, which... seem to rear their lofty summits even to the clouds”

Geraldus Cambrensis - Itinerarium Cambriae (1191)


O Fawddwy ddu, ni ddaw-dimllan-
A ellir ei rwystraw;
Ond tri pheth helaeth hylaw,
Dyn agas, nod glas a gwlaw.
In Mawddwy black, three things remain,
False men, blue earth and ceaseless rain:
Of these they'd gladly riddance gain.

Old Welsh jingle - Translation by William Cathrall (1828)


“Such as have not seen mountains of this kind are not able to frame an idea of them, from the hills of more champain or lower countries. For whereas such hills are but single in heights or storeys, these are heaped upon one another, so that having climbed up one rock, we come to a valley, and most commonly a lake; and passing by that, we ascend another, and sometimes a third and a fourth, before we arrive at the highest peaks.”

Edward Lhuyd - History of Cambria (1695)


"It [Welsh] has many features and words in common with the Sanscrit, and many which seem peculiar to itself, or rather to the family of languages, generally called the Celtic, to which it belongs. Though not an original tongue, for indeed no original tongue, or anything approximating to one, at present exists, it is certainly of immense antiquity, indeed almost entitled in that respect to dispute the palm with the grand tongue of India, on which in some respects it flings nearly as much elucidation as it itself receives in others."

George Borrow - Wild Wales (1862)
