Excerpt from The Welsh Border: Its Churches, Castles and Dyke
Hen the Garden of Eden comes to be dis covered and we reach the Gate where stood the Angel with the Flaming Sword, which turned every way, it will not, I think, be the fair lawns and glades which we shall first seek out, but rather we shall turn and gaze long at the pathway by which our First Parents went weeping down into the World which lay all before them where to choose their Home.
