by David Jones
David Jones, artist and poet, is deeply conscious of has Welsh heritage, as those who have read or listened to In Parenthesis and The Anathemata cannot fail to be aware. In this talk he deals with the Welsh feeling for the Crown and for the unity of Britain, a feeling w'hidh in his view derives in part from the fact that the Welsh, alone among the nations of Britain, are the residuary legatees of Rome. (The recorded broadcast of July 23 in the Welsh Home Service)
