Y Gododdin 6: Hyfaidd Hir
Brooch-adorned, undaunted, armour-clad,
Murderous of swordcraft ere he died,
Courageous commander when armies charged:
Five times fifty fell, his blade badged with blood.
Of Deirans and Bernicians he made
Quick carnage: an hour’s war and they were dead.
More keen for a wolf-feast than to be wed,
More keen to make raven-suppers than to bend
A knee at an altar – ere he was buried,
Blood flowed freely, dispensed like bright mead.
Hyfaidd Hir be praised, while there’s still a bard.
Old Welsh poem attributed to Aneirin, c. 600 A.D, paraphrased by Giles Watson, 2011.

Palatul Stirbei se afla pe Calea Victoriei, la numarul 107. In prezent, palatul se afla intr-o stare avansata de degradare.
Palatul Stirbei a fost construit in 1835 de arhitectul Michel Sanjouand, la comanda lui Barbu Dimitrie Stirbei, mare logofat. Constructia este realizata in stilul neoclasic, la mare moda in aceea perioada in Franta. In timpul domniei sale, din anii 1849 - 1856, Barbu Stirbei a folosit acest palat ca resedinta domneasca. In anul 1852, palatul este restaurat de arhitectii Xavier Villacrosse si Moritz Von Ott.
In anul 1882, Alexandru Stirbei, fiul domnitorului, schimba fatada palatului dinspre Calea Victoriei. In aceasta perioada este construit turnul si etajul cu cariatidele, realizate de arhitectul Friederic Hartmann.
Palatul Stirbei era conoscut de protipendata secolului al XIX-lea pentru balurile care se oragnizau aici. La aceste baluri erau invitate personalitati de marca ale epocii, politicieni, oameni de stat sau negustori celebri. Balurile de la Palatul Stirbei erau caracterizate drept cele mai selecte evenimente ale sezonului. In perioada sa de glorie, Palatul Stirbei avea si o gradina luxurianta, grajduri si multe alte anexe, realizate in acelasi stil neoclasic. Palatul impresiona si prin pivnitele pe care le avea. Subsolul boltit era folosit pentru depozitarea vinului de pe podgoriile familiei Stirbei. Productia si comercializarea vinului a fost una dintre activitatile economice ale familiei Stirbei. Parcul era impodobit cu cascade, grote, iar interiorul palatului era mobilat cu lux. Plafoanele erau pictate, iar sobele erau aduse de la Viena si din Lombardia.
Palatul Stirbei a ramas in posesia familiei Stirbei pana in anul 1948, atunci cand a inceput nationalizarea, iar palatul si toate anexele sale au intrat in patrimoniul Intreprinderii de industrializare a vinului. De-a lungul timpului, palatul sufera numeroase deteriorari.
Intre anii 1954 - 1977, palatul gazduieste Muzeul de Arta Populara, iar la inceputul anilor '80 se deschide Muzeul Ceramicii si Sticlei, care functioneaza pana in anul 1994.

Kerikeri stone store and Kemp House (and surroundings) - 08 October 2013
The Stone Store at Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands is New Zealand’s oldest surviving stone building.
Part of the first Church Missionary Society station in New Zealand, the store was designed by John Hobbs to replace an earlier wooden store house. The Stone Store was erected between 1832 and 1836 by mason William Parrott, carpenter Ben Nesbitt and a team of Māori. Construction was of sandstone from Australia, local volcanic rocks and burnt shell mortar. Iron ties and window bars were forged by James Kemp, (though these unfortunately corroded the sandstone). Initially it had a wooden belfry on one side.
The Stone Store was intended to be the base of the Church Missionary Society’s trading post, selling produce from the farms at Te Waimate mission to ships, and European goods to Māori. Marsden planned to build a flour mill on the adjacent Kerikeri River, but this was eventually built at te Waimate instead. Stone was used to protect wheat from rats, for defence against Māori and to reduce the risk of fire.
Stone Store
By the mid-1830s the mission stations could not compete with the private enterprise of other European settlers, either as traders or farmers, and the store was not profitable.
The building was converted into the mission library by Bishop Selwyn in the early 1840s. Following the sacking of Kororareka in the Flagstaff War, it was briefly taken over by Governor George Grey for use as a magazine and barracks. After the cessation of hostilities in 1845, the stone store was leased to become the centre of Kauri gum trading operation, and then in 1863 it was used to house a boys' school. The building was sold to the Kemp family in 1874, and was used as a general store, although it increasingly became a tourist attraction. The Stone Store was purchased from the Kemps by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust in 1975. Conservation work was done in the 1990s. The store, together with the neighbouring Mission House now form a small museum.
The Mission House at Kerikeri in New Zealand was completed in 1822[1] as part of the Kerikeri Mission Station by the Church Missionary Society, and is New Zealand’s oldest surviving building. It is sometimes known as Kemp House.
Samuel Marsden established the Anglican mission to New Zealand with lay preachers, who lived in the Bay of Islands under the protection of Hongi Hika, the chief of the local tribe, the Ngapuhi. In November 1819, Marsden purchased 13,000 acres (53 km²) from the Ngapuhi.
Marsden instructed the Reverend John Butler to erect buildings for the mission station under the shelter of the Ngapuhi Pa or fortress of Kororipo at Kerikeri, (Marsden, himself, Thomas Kendall and Hongi Hika left for Britain). Using Māori and skilled European labour, Butler had completed the centre piece Mission House by 1822, (despite being interrupted by the return of Kendall and Hongi Hika with a thousand muskets, and Kororipo being used as a base for the subsequent Ngapuhi military campaign in the Musket Wars).
Mission House
Butler’s house was a weatherboard clad, two-storey Georgian design with a verandah and two chimneys. It was built primarily from Kauri. At some point in the 1830s, a skilling was added, and the verandah was replaced with an enlarged design in 1843. In the 1920s a bathroom was added behind the kitchen.
Butler was sacked in 1823, and George Clarke occupied the building until the early 1830s, by which time the Ngapuhi had abandoned Kororipo, but the mission station was strong enough to feel no need for protection.
The house was occupied by James and Charlotte Kemp in 1832 and although initially part of an expanded mission presence, (including the Stone Store), it was later purchased by the Kemps, and stayed in that family for 142 years, until Ernest Kemp donated it to the New Zealand Historic Places Trust in 1976.
The Trust has restored the building to an approximation of its 1843 appearance, (although the verandah was higher, and the roof was not shingled). Together with the Stone Store, the Mission house is now a museum open to the public.
