顿貌尘丑苍补濒濒:
An-diugh mar gach madainn eile, bu mhath leamsa tionndadh gu seanfhacal a bha tric is minic air a chleachdadh nam 猫irigh suas, agus is e sin: 鈥淎n rud a thig leis a鈥� ghaoith, falbhaidh e leis an uisge鈥�.

鈥橲 d貌cha nam 貌ige nach robh mi buileach a鈥� greimeachadh air br矛gh na h-abairt, ach bha mi e貌lach gu le貌r air an d脿 eileamaid ris am bheil i a鈥� buntainn. Cha shaoil mise gu bheil duine sam bith a chaidh a thogail anns na h-Eileanan an Iar nach eil mion-e貌lach air gaoth agus uisge. Ge-t脿, is e cuspair na sge貌il seo, an rud a tha a鈥� tighinn agus ri falbh. Agus is e a鈥� cheist, ciod e an rud?

Uill, nam bheachd fh矛n, cha mh貌r nach fhaodadh tu r脿dh gu bheil seo a鈥� bualadh air m貌ran dha na tha ri fhaotainn anns an t-saoghal mh貌r. Nach ann mar sin a tha an saoghal anns a bheil sinn be貌? An c脿r gleansach, 脿lainn a bha cho br猫agha nuair a th脿inig e an toiseach chun a gheata, an-diugh na chnap meirg air nach toir sinn an d脿rna s霉il. An t-seacaid a chuireadh tu uaireigin ort gu sr脿idean a鈥� bhaile-mh貌ir an-diugh mar luideag bhrocach nach t猫id mu do dhruim ach airson g脿irnealaireachd neo obair peantaidh.

Eadhon nas dl霉ithe ri br矛gh an t-seanfhachail, tha na rudan a thig gun d霉il riutha, agus mus seall thu riut fh猫in tha iad air falbh neo air an cosg. Chan eil fi霉 nach eil cuid den mhuinntir sin a ghr脿dhaich sinn nar n-猫irigh suas air falbh, cha mh貌r gun fhiost鈥�. C貌 againn a tha ag iarraidh, 鈥淐han e seo baile a mhaireas鈥�, a chluinntinn? Tha l脿n fhios againn air agus faireachdainn.

Shona NicEanruig

Anna: Tha sibh air iarraidh air an duine eile leabhar a leughadh. An leabhar a dh鈥檌arr thusa air Iain Tormod a leughadh, 鈥檚 e leabhar a mhol do mh脿thair dhut fh猫in bho chionn fhada a bh鈥� ann.

Shona: 鈥橲 e. Seo an leabhar. Leabhar a tha gu math beag, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie le Dame Muriel Spark. Ged a tha an leabhar seo beag agus tana, 鈥檚 e leabhar cho cumhachdach 鈥檚 a th鈥� ann tha mi fh猫in a鈥� smaoineachadh.

Anna: Carson?

Shona: T貌rr dhiofar adhbharan. Tha e 猫ibhinn, tha e gu math t霉rsach. Tha t貌rr co-cheangailte ri rudan a tha gu math dorcha, cuspairean 鈥檚 d貌cha a tha gu math dorcha. Ach, saidhg-e貌las, ach cuideachd co-ionannachd agus c脿irdean agus .....

Anna: D矛lseachd?

Shona: D矛lseachd, agus tr猫igsinn. Sin tha mi a鈥� smaoineachadh, na pr矛omh chuspairean agus mar a tha an t-霉ghdar a tha seo a鈥� fuaigheal a h-uile c脿il a tha sin c貌mhla ann an leabhar cho goirid. Tha mi a鈥� smaoineachdadh g'eil e d矛reach air leth.

Anna: Anns an aithghearrachd, innis dhuinn d猫 tha tachairt. C貌 Miss Jean Brodie, gun fhios nach eil cudeigin a-muigh an sin nach eil e貌lach air an sgeulachd.

Shona: Na truaghain, ach cluinnidh iad a-nist鈥�! Tha Miss Brodie a鈥� teagasg ann an sgoil Marcia Blaine do nigheanan a-mh脿in. Tha sianar a tha i a鈥� taghadh mar seat dhi fh猫in, sianar nighean aig aois deich bliadhna. Agus, tha an leabhar a鈥� sealltainn dhuinn mar a tha an tidsear a tha sin air buaidh a thoirt air na h-igheanan suas, uill, nuair a dh鈥檉h脿gas iad an sgoil aig seachd deug, ach dh鈥檉haoideamaid a r脿dh fad am beatha.

An oidhche sin, bha a h-uile c脿il air a chur air d貌igh aige. Bha na ge脿ird-fhaire aige a-muigh leis na coin gun sgur a鈥� dol timcheall an taighe mar a bhiodh iad a h-uile latha dhen bhliadhna. Ach a-nochd bha barrachd dhiubh ann agus chaidh a r脿dh riutha a bhith gu h-脿raidh furachail. Th脿inig a鈥� bhan leis a鈥� chlaigeann gu doras-aghaidh an taighe ann an Cranleigh aig deich uairean agus ghi霉lain na ge脿ird an claigeann a-staigh dhan t-se貌mar a b鈥� fhe脿rr leis, se貌mar-suidhe m貌r, br猫agha, le dealbhan ainmeil air na ballachan le Millet, Picasso agus Francis Bacon. Ann am meadhan an t-se貌mair bha b貌rd m貌r, eireachdail, mahogany. Agus ann am meadhan a鈥� bh霉ird, bha cuisean dearg. Chaidh an claigeann de脿lrach a chur gu faiceallach air a鈥� chuisean agus dh鈥檉halbh na ge脿ird.

Ghlas e na dorsan. Bha e leis fh猫in leis a鈥� chlaigeann. Dh貌irt e drama uisge-beatha dha fh猫in agus shuidh e s矛os aig ceann a鈥� bh霉ird a ghabhail beachd air an d猫ideag mh矛orbhaileach a bha e air a cheannach. Esan, Slim, nach e bha air faighinn air adhart o bha e na ph脿iste bochd ann an Durham. Dh猫anadh an claigeann seo ainmeil e. Jon Fairly, an duine leis an robh an claigeann aig Damien Hirst.

Shuidh e a鈥� coimhead air a鈥� chlaiginn, mar a bha e air a dh猫anamh. Na daoimeanan air an seatadh cho faiceallach agus cho mionaideach anns a鈥� mheatailt, na m矛ltean dhiubh agus an daoimean m貌r sgoinneil ann am meadhan a鈥� mhaoil. Ach 鈥檚 e bu mhotha a dhr霉idh air, na fiaclan, iad cho geal agus sl脿n agus be貌 a鈥� coimhead, am beul fosgailte, a鈥� g脿ireachdainn ris. Na c霉lagan cho m貌r agus deiseil airson biadh a chagnadh; na cl脿r-fhiaclan deiseil gus fe貌il a reubadh. Cha robh be脿rn no cosg annta le cus bleith. Feumaidh gur ann le duine 貌g a bha iad air a bhith.

Agus bha an claigeann sl脿n cho toilichte a鈥� coimhead, samhla soilleir, aotrom a鈥� magadh a鈥� bh脿is. Agus smaoinich maighstir a鈥� chlaiginn cho fortanach 鈥檚 a bha e gur e esan a fhuair an claigeann seo, gur ann leis fh猫in a bhiodh e gu br脿th tuilleadh. Saoil c貌 leis a bha na fiaclan; saoil d猫 am biadh a bhiodh iad ag ithe? smaoinich e. D猫 bhiodh an anail a bhiodh a鈥� tighinn eatorra ag r脿dh?

鈥淔eumaidh tu mo thiodhlachadh.鈥� Th脿inig an guth gun rabhadh sam bith mar gum biodh a-mach 脿s an 猫adhar timcheall air.
