 George
Borrow is a famous writer among Welsh people because of his book "Wild
Wales", where he describes Welsh country and people.
In Wild
Wales, Borrow remembers the Galician Land's End while watching
the sea from the northern Welsh coast.
Before
moving to Wales, George Borrow wrote these lines about his travel
around the Finisterrae:
We
had arrived exactly at such a place as in my boyhood I had pictured
to myself as the termination of the world, beyond which there was
a wild sea, or abyss, or chaos.
I
now saw far before me an immense ocean, and below me a long and irregular
line of lofty and precipitous coast.
Certainly in the whole world there is no
bolder coast than the Galegan shore.
George
Borrow. (1843).
