Further to my previous message, I have been thinking about your request for a Welsh phrase equivalent to 'all things return to whence they came' or similar. As we are on a watery topic, what about the old Welsh saying: 'I'r pant y rhed y dw+r' (Water runs to the hollow)? Following this train of thought brings to mind the last two lines of R. Williams Parry's sonnet 'Hen Gychwr Afon Angau' Ond ar y dwfr sydd am y llen a+r llwch Ni frysia'r Cychwr, canys hen yw'r cwch. John Williams, Saudi Arabia
