Diana Wynne Jones...and said grace in Welsh. It was all rolling, thundering language.
About This Quote
The Welsh language can be quite beautiful. For example, in the film "Braveheart", Robert the Bruce (Mel Gibson) speaks in Welsh when he takes his wife, Katherine (Kirsten Dunst) prisoner in England. However, if you want to learn Welsh, you might need to know where to start. You don't need any knowledge of Welsh or history to enjoy "Braveheart", but if you want to learn about the language, Robert the Bruce's speech in Welsh is a good place to start.
