Hiraeth is a Welsh word (Cornish Hireth) “long gone” has no English equivalent. It means a spiritual yearning or longing for the past of your home, often applied to Wales or Cornwall. A past that is nowhere and everywhere, rooted in a nostalgia for the soul’s grief of a lost past. My 8^th great grandmother, Marie Southwood Suddeth, came from Exeter on the Devon/Cornish border. She knew hiraeth.
