Géibheann Le Caitlín Maude

Ainmhí mé

ainmhí allta

as na teochreasa

a bhfuil cliú agus cáil

ar mo scéimh

chroithfinn crainnte na coille

tráth

le mo gháir

ach anois

luím síos

agus breathnaím trí leathshúil

ar an gcrann aonraic sin thall

tagann na céadta daoine

chuile lá

a dhéanfadh rud ar bith

dom

ach mé a ligean amach


Is breá liom an chomparáid idir coill lán le crainnte agus an “crann aonraic”

Ainmhí mé

ainmhí allta

as na teochreasa


ar mo scéimh


tráth

le mo gháir

ach anois

luím síos




chuile lá


dom


I am an animal

a wild animal

from the Equator

famous for my beauty

I used to shake the trees of the forest

once

with my roar

but now

I lie down

and look through one eye

at that solitary tree over there

hundreds of people come

every day

who would do anything

for me

except let me out

Ní féidir iontas a cheansú agus a chur i mbosca, caithfear ligean dó a rud féin a dhéanamh.


Cúlra an fhile (The poet’s background):

1. Rugadh í i Ros Muc, Conamara.

2. Mhair sí ó 1941 go 1982.

3. Oileadh mar mhúinteoir í.

4. Chaith sí tréimhsí mar mhúinteoir in áiteanna éagsúla.

5. Bhí cliú agus cáil uirthi mar: amhránaí ar an sean-nós, aisteoir, file agus gníomhaí

teanga.

6. Ghlac sí páirt Máire Ní Chathasaigh sa chéad léiriú den Triail in Amharclann an

Damer i mBaile Átha Cliath sa bhliain 1964.

7. Foilsíodh dhá bhailiúchán dá cuid scríbhneoireachta tar éis a báis:

a. Caitlín Maude: Dánta (1984)

b. Caitlín Maude: Drámaíocht agus Prós (1988)

Cúlra an dáin:

• Trí bhéal ainmhí a labhraíonn Caitlín Maude sa dán seo.

• Meafar leanúnach atá anseo de shaol an fhile a bhí neamhspleách uair amháín ach

atá teanntaithe anois.

• Tá trua mór aici don leon mar tá cosúlachtaí láidre idir an leon agus í féin. Seans

go mbaineann an dán leis an easpa saoirse a bhraith an file agus í go dona tinn.

Seasann an t-ainmhí don fhile í féin a bhraitheann go

bhfuil sí i ngéibheann.


Téama àIs é príomhthéama an dáin seo ná tábhacht an neamhspleáchas i saol an ainmhí

agus an duine daonna.

Íomhánna à Tá íomhánna láidre sa dán seo:

● chroithfinn crainnte… – íomhá na cumhachta

● breathnaím trí leathshúil – íomhá na tuirse

Uaim: àÚsáideann an file uaim sa dán.

Mar shampla:

● ainmhí allta

● chroithfinn crainnte na coille

Mothúcháin:

Tá frustrachas agus éadóchas sa dán seo:

Is cuimhin leis an fhile lá nuair a bhí sí saor lá arbh fhéidir léi na crainn a chroitheadh lena

glór ach anois tá sí ina príosúnach. Níl i ndán di inniu ach frustrachas agus éadóchas.

Ábhar:

Deir an file gur ainmhí fiáin í arbh fhéidir léi uair dá raibh, na crainn a chroitheadh lena

glór amháin. Ach anois is príosúnach í agus cé go dtagann na sluaite lena feiceáil gach lá

ní bhíonn aon duine acu sásta í a shaoradh óna géibheann cruálach.

When talking about alliteration

Ní mór go mbeadh filíocht binn ar an gcluas agus leis na cleasanna seo éiríonn leis an

Maudeach ár gcroíthe a ghreamú leis an ábhar.

Fiú amháin mura mbeadh cabhair againn ón leabhar chun an dán seo a shamhlú

sheasfadh sé amach dúinn de bharr ________________________________

________________________________


Teicníochtaí Fileata 1. Codarsnacht: “ach anois” Go dtí an líne seo den dán, tá gach aon ní beo bríomhar. Léirítear an chodarsnacht idir

áilleacht an ainmhí agus é ag feidhmiú de réir a nádúir agus an cruachás a fhulaingíonn sé

agus é ceannsaithe i gcarcair Ghairdín na nAinmhithe.

2. Meafa(i)r: Is meafar é an “ainmhí allta” seo do chréatúir éagsúla ar fud na cruinne a bhfuil a gcuid

áilleachta srianta sa treo is nach dtugtar deis don Domhan í a aithint. Thuigfeadh an

Maudeach í féin go maith fulaingt na mban is na bhfilí, dhá dhream a raibh sí mar bhall

díobh a bhíonn gafa ag an tsochaí go ró-mhinic.

3. Íoróin: Níl ann ach macasamhail suarach den leon fiáin a bhí ina rí ar an dufair san am atá

thart, toisc go bhfuil éileamh air. Is de bharr daoine a bheith ag iarraidh an áilleacht seo a

fheiceáil, go bhfuil sé sa staid seo.

“Tagann na céadta daoine/ chuile lá/ a dhéanfach rud ar bith/ dom/ ach mé a ligean

amach”.

4. Uaim (previous page)

5. Íomhánna (previous page)


Ceisteanna agus Freagraí Samplacha

Cad é ábhar an dáin seo, dar leat, agus cén chaoi a léiríonn an file an tábhar sin?

Dar liom, téama an dáin seo is ea easpa saoirse. Cé go dtagraíonn na focail d’ainmhí, is

dán fáthchiallach atá ann sa tslí a bhféadfadh ábhair éagsúla ar nós cearta na mban, nó an

caoi a gcaitear le filí, bheith á bplé.

Chun an tsaoirse a bhí ag an “ainmhí allta” seo ina ghnáthóg (habitat) féin a léiriú,

baineann an file úsáid as uaim. Deirtear linn go bhfuil “cliú agus cáil” air agus cloisimid

“Chroithfinn crainnte na coille…”

An éifeacht atá ag an teicníc seo, i mo thuairim, ná go gcuirtear neart agus láidreacht an

ainmhí in iúl dúinn. As an eolas a thugtar sa dán, is dócha gur leon atá ann.

Tá an dán roinnte ina dhá leath, ar bhealach, agus tá codarsnacht shuntasach le

brath idir an dá chuid. Sna céad ocht líne tugtar tuairisc ar shaol breá an leoin agus é ag

feidhmiú de réir a nádúir san fhiáin. Ach sna línte deiridh tá cur síos duairc (depressing)

ar shaol á chaitheamh i gcarcair agus an leon srianta teoranta. Bhíodh sé ina rí ar an dufar

ach anois ní bhíonn mórán ar siúl aige:

“luím síos/ …breathnaím trí leathshúil/ ar an gcrann aonraic sin thall”.

Ní féidir aon rud a mheasúnú ina aonar. Is tríd dhá ní cosúla a chur i gcomparáid lena

chéile a fheictear na buanna agus droch-ghnéithe a bhaineann leo. Tá sé soiléir ón dá

chineál saoil atá caite ag an leon go mb’fhearr i bhfad an chéad cheann, agus é ar a

shuaimhneas ina ghnáthóg dhúchais seachas é cloíte ceannsaithe i nGairdín na

nAinmhithe. Teicníocht fhileata a bheidh rí-úsáideach go deo í an chodarsnacht, mar atá

léirithe ag an Maudeach anseo.

Tá íoróin ghéar sa dán seo a insíonn fírinne truamhéalach faoin gcine daonna. Ag

deireadh an dáin, deir an file “tagann na céadta daoine/ chuile lá/ a dhéanfadh rud ar bith/
