   "It was me who murdered the Welsh language. 
   I'm sure of that. 
   I failed to utter what she needed. 
 
   Said too little far too late 
   and now--silence. Arrest me 
   for negligence. I just couldn't persuade her 
 
   to stay, of the value of survival. 
   She was a difficult woman. But she was needed. 
   Here's my passport. I murdered my mother."
