"Hiraeth"

"Hiraeth" is a word, which cannot be completely translated, meaning more than solely "missing something" or "missing home." It implies the meaning of missing a time, an era, or a person, including homesickness for what may not exist any longer.


Does anyone else relate to this feeling? Personally I think this is a perfect word to explain why we search for our ancestors. A true homesickness for the past.
