What is recorded here
Spring blossom at Cyfarthfa Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Perhaps the blossoms still touch the castle walls each spring, marking the boundary between human ambition and seasonal patience. Maybe the stone remembers every hand that shaped it while the flowers refuse to be remembered at all.
