St David's Cathedral.
"The geographical position of St David's is itself
a parable : placed as nigh as possible to the setting
sun, it would appear to symbolize the triumph of
His kingdom whose " dominion shall be from one
sea to the other, and from the flood unto the world's
end."
The raison d'etre of so magnificent an assemblage
of buildings in this remote spot is not hard to
account for.
All this country of Dewisland was consecrated,
in the imagination and religion of its ancient
inhabitants, as the scene of the birth and life of
St David. His shrine was the Walsingham or
Canterbury of the Cymry."
