ELAN LAKES— WILD SOUTH WALES 



vale to its tidal waters above Carmarthen we have a 

 broad stream swishing amid wide breadths of shingle, 

 or rolling deep and sullen between meadowy banks ; 

 a well-preserved trout and sewin river all the way, 

 picking up en route the winsome stream of the Cothi, 

 till the push of the tide begins to be felt, and the 

 salmon-netters with their coracles take sole possession 

 of the waters.
