Th\u00e1inig m\u00e9 ar an leabhar beag neamhchoitianta seo, ar na mallaibh, agus b\u00edodh go raibh orm \u00e9 a l\u00e9amh cupla babhta, le ciall ioml\u00e1n a fh\u00e1isceadh as, ag an am gc\u00e9anna, cheap m\u00e9 gurbh fhi\u00fa dom, p\u00edosa a scr\u00edobh faoi, anseo i mB\u00e9al an Phobail, n\u00f3 is annamh a thagann duine trasna ar leabhar d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id. T\u00e1 an leabhar seo neamhchoitianta, ar dh\u00e1 ch\u00fais, ar a laghad. <\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Ar an gc\u00e9ad dul s\u00edos, is leabhar \u00e9 le file Ch\u00fairt Shasana, n\u00f3 leis an \u201cPoet Laureate\u201d, mar a thugtar air thall. Is annamh go maith a chloisimid faoin bhfear c\u00e9anna sin, b\u00edodh go bhfuil an-chuid curtha i gcr\u00edch aige, mar fhile, agus mar scr\u00edbhneoir. Rugadh an fear c\u00e9anna sin, sa bhliain 1952, rud a fh\u00e1gann go bhfuil an leathch\u00e9ad s\u00e1raithe aige, faoin am seo. Cuireadh scola\u00edocht air in Ollscoil Oxford, agus t\u00e1 m\u00e1m duaiseanna liteartha gn\u00f3ite aige, cheana. Duaiseanna ar n\u00f3s, \u201cThe Whitbread Prize for Biography\u201d, duais \u201cDylan Thomas\u201d, agus tuilleadh. T\u00e1 s\u00e9 ina Ollamh le Fil\u00edocht, in Ollscoil East Anglia, agus faoi mar ad\u00fairt m\u00e9 thuas, ceapadh \u00e9 ina Fhile C\u00fairte, sa bhliain 1999. Is f\u00e9idir linn, mar sin, glacadh leis, go bhfuil fios a cheirde, i mbun pinn, foghlamtha, agus foghlamtha go maith aige, faoi\u2019n am seo.<\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Ar an dara dul s\u00edos, is leabhar neamhchoitianta \u00e9, toisc gur leabhar lorgaireachta, leabhar beathaisn\u00e9ise, agus leabhar fianna\u00edochta fi\u00fa, (fianna\u00edocht le \u2013 f –<\/em><\/strong> beag, d\u00e1r nd\u00f3igh,) curtha i dtoll a ch\u00e9ile ag an bhfear seo a bhfuil a ainm in airde mar bheathaisn\u00e9is\u00ed, agus mar fhile, le blianta fada anois. I nd\u00e1ir\u00edre, is m\u00f3 de leabhar lorgaireachta n\u00f3 de leabhar beathaisn\u00e9ise \u00e9. <\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

D\u2019fh\u00e9adf\u00e1 a r\u00e1, gurb \u00e9 an Docht\u00fair Cake<\/em><\/strong>, an pr\u00edomhcharachtar sa sc\u00e9al seo, fear a chaith seal ag staid\u00e9ar, agus ag cleachtadh a cheirde, i gcathair Londain, a d\u2019imigh ansin ar seachr\u00e1n ar fud na hEorpa, ar feadh seal de bhlianta, agus ansin ar deireadh thiar, a d\u2019fhill ar Shasana ar\u00eds, ach an babhta seo, in ionad lean\u00faint leis ag cleachtadh a cheirde i gcathair Londain, d\u2019imigh leis amach faoin tuath, agus chuaigh i mbun a oibre ar\u00eds, i mbaile Woodham, \u00e1it ar chaith s\u00e9 an chuid eile d\u00e1 shaol, ag saothr\u00fa ar a mh\u00edle dh\u00edcheall, ar son a phobail. I rith an chuid deiridh sin d\u00e1 shaol, n\u00edor tharraing s\u00e9 aird na t\u00edre air fh\u00e9in, ach amh\u00e1in, nuair a d\u2019fhoils\u00edodh s\u00e9 altanna sna hIris\u00ed Leighis. N\u00ed raibh ag c\u00f3na\u00ed in \u00e9ind\u00ed leis ach a bhean t\u00ed. Bh\u00ed an-chuid leabhar aige, agus an t\u00e9 a scr\u00fad\u00f3dh na leabhair sin, n\u00ed fh\u00e9adfadh s\u00e9 gan tabhairt faoi deara, go raibh sp\u00e9is faoi leith ag an nDocht\u00fair Cake i bhfil\u00edocht agus i ndr\u00e1ma. B\u2019fhear l\u00e1ch, cine\u00e1lta, carthannach \u00e9, a raibh \u201cgnaoi agus gean ag gach n-aon air\u201d.<\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Nuair a bh\u00ed an t-\u00fadar ag d\u00e9anamh taighde le leabhar faoi John Keats a chur i dtoll a ch\u00e9ile, roinnt bheag blianta \u00f3 shoin, th\u00e1inig s\u00e9 ar charachtar, ar chuir s\u00e9 suim ann, an Docht\u00fair Tabor.<\/p>

…\u201dpartly because I\u2019d discovered someone else during my researches, whom I felt would stretch still further the way I thought about the connection between life and art. His name was William Tabor.\u201d<\/p>

Ar ball, agus an leabhar faoi Keats curtha dhe aige, d\u2019fhill s\u00e9 ar an nDocht\u00fair Tabor ar\u00eds, agus i Leabharlann Chol\u00e1iste R\u00edoga na M\u00e1inlianna, th\u00e1inig s\u00e9 ar ph\u00e1ip\u00e9ir an Docht\u00fara.<\/p>

\u201c… and was led in due course to the Library of the Royal College of Surgeons, where Tabor\u2019s papers were deposited soon after his death in 1850. When I began to look at them properly, I saw that the real fascination with Tabor\u2019s story didn\u2019t lie with the man himself, but with someone he had met; a certain Dr. John Cake.<\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Choinnigh an Dr. Tabor cuntas ar chuile chuairt a thug s\u00e9 ar othair, agus ar thug othair air, le linn na mblianta a chaith s\u00e9 ag cleachtadh a cheirde i Finchley, ar imeall chathair Londain. Ba iad na cuntais sin an chuid ba mh\u00f3 de na p\u00e1ip\u00e9ir a tugadh do Chol\u00e1iste R\u00edoga na M\u00e1inlianna, sa bhliain 1850. Ach i measc na bp\u00e1ip\u00e9ar sin freisin, bh\u00ed roinnt bheag eile, ar chuir an t-\u00fadar, Andreaw Motion, suim ar d\u00f3igh ionntu. Bh\u00ed le f\u00e1il sna p\u00e1ip\u00e9ir sin, cuntas ar an bhf\u00f3gra mairbh a scr\u00edobh an Dr. Tabor faoi John Cake, agus chomh maith le sin, bh\u00ed dh\u00e1 ph\u00edosa eile ina gcuireann s\u00e9 s\u00edos ar an teangmh\u00e1il a bh\u00ed aige fh\u00e9in leis an nDocht\u00fair Cake, agus ar an gcomhr\u00e1 a tharla eatarthu, ar na h\u00f3c\u00e1id\u00ed sin. Breathnaigh ar an gcaoi a chuireann s\u00e9 s\u00edos ar an gcaoi ar casadh ar a ch\u00e9ile iad, a ch\u00e9aduair….<\/p>

My acquaintance with Dr John Cake of Woodham in the county of Essex has been occasioned by my knowledge of his medical work. While preparing my Survey, I have taken it upon myself to complement my findings, and solidify my conclusions, by seeking out various others whose interests coincide with my own. Dr. Cake, having produced a number of articles which report on the circumstances of his neighbourhood, was an obvious choice, and I did not hesitate to write to him, even while he was still a stranger to me.<\/p>

Ba de thaisme, mar sin, a tharla an teangmh\u00e1il sin eatarthu, agus ar ball, chuadar n\u00edos fuide na sin leis an gcaradas a snaidhmeadh eatarthu, n\u00f3 thug Tabor cupla cuairt ar an nDocht\u00fair Cake, ina theach fh\u00e9in, i Woodham. I rith na gcuairteanna sin, tharla comhr\u00e1ite scol\u00e1rtha eatarthu, iad ag c\u00edoradh, agus ag sp\u00edonadh, c\u00farsa\u00ed mor\u00e1lta, fil\u00edochta, liteartha, agus pearsantachta. N\u00edl f\u00fam anseo, cur s\u00edos mion a dh\u00e9anamh ar na comhr\u00e1ite c\u00e9anna sin, n\u00f3 is f\u00e9idir leis an l\u00e9itheoir c\u00far s\u00edos mion f\u00fathu sin, a l\u00e9amh sa leabhar seo, \u201cThe Invention of Dr. Cake\u201d, ach faoi\u2019n am ar tharla na comhr\u00e1ite sin, bh\u00ed an Dr. Cake in \u00edsle br\u00ed, i nd\u00e1ir\u00edre, agus ba \u00e9 cr\u00edoch an sc\u00e9il \u00e9, go bhfuair s\u00e9 b\u00e1s, go gairid ina dhiaidh sin. N\u00ed g\u00e1 a r\u00e1, go raibh Tabor i l\u00e1thair ag an sochraid, agus tar \u00e9is d\u00f3ibh an chr\u00e9 a dh\u00e1ileadh leis an Dr. Cake, casadh bean t\u00ed an docht\u00fara ar Tabor, agus thug s\u00ed cuireadh d\u00f3, teacht ar chuairt chuici, ach n\u00edor dhein s\u00e9 rud uirthi, agus ansin, d\u2019iarr s\u00ed air, f\u00f3gra mairbh a scr\u00edobh, don ph\u00e1ip\u00e9ar \u00e1iti\u00fail. D\u2019aontaigh s\u00e9 chuige sin, agus dhein s\u00e9 amhlaidh, ar ball. Fuair Cake b\u00e1s i L\u00fanasa na bliana, 1844, agus bh\u00ed rud ait amh\u00e1in ag baint lena ch\u00f3nra. Rud a chuir a sh\u00e1ith ionaidh ar an nDocht\u00fair Tabor, agus sin, nach raibh ainm ar bith ar phl\u00e1ta brollaigh na c\u00f3nra c\u00e9anna sin. N\u00ed g\u00e1 a r\u00e1, gur chuir s\u00e9 ionadh freisin ar \u00e1r n-\u00fadar, Andrew Motion.<\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Bh\u00ed dh\u00e1 n\u00ed eile i measc ph\u00e1ip\u00e9ir\u00ed an Dr Tabor, a fritheadh i Leabharlann R\u00edoga na M\u00e1inlianna, agus b\u2019in dh\u00e1 litir a scr\u00edobh, bean t\u00ed an Dr. Cake, Mrs Aileen Reilly, chuig Tabor. Sa ch\u00e9ad cheann, gabhann s\u00ed a bu\u00edochas leis, as a chomhbhr\u00f3n ar bh\u00e1s an Docht\u00fara Cake, agus sa dara ceann, luann s\u00ed gur sheol s\u00ed beart<\/em><\/strong> chuige, n\u00f3, d\u00e1r lei, thuig an bheirt acu, faoin am sin, nach raibh m\u00f3r\u00e1n ama f\u00e1gtha aici fh\u00e9in ar an saol seo.<\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I gc\u00e1s an dara litir \u00fad, f\u00e9ach mar a scr\u00edobh s\u00ed…<\/p>

Please find enclosed the packet of which we have often spoken during your visits……Now that we both understand my time is short, my mind is made up. It will be yours for you to do with it as you decide.<\/p>

A.R.<\/p>

Scr\u00edobhadh an litir sin, ar an 26 Deireadh F\u00f3mhair, 1849, c\u00faig bliana tar \u00e9is bh\u00e1is Cake fh\u00e9in, agus cuireadh c\u00f3ngarach d\u00f3 \u00ed, i Reilg Naomh Mhuire, Woodham.<\/p>

T\u00e9ann an t-\u00fadar i mbun oibre ansin, agus \u00e9 ag iarraidh ciall eic\u00ednt a bhaint as an bhfaisn\u00e9is, agus as an bhfianaise uilig, a bhailigh s\u00e9, i Leabharlann na M\u00e1inlianna.<\/p>

Anois, mar is eol d\u00fainn, bh\u00ed dianstaid\u00e9ar d\u00e9anta cheana ag an \u00fadar, ar bheatha agus ar shaothar John Keats, agus tuigeadh d\u00f3, go raibh an-chos\u00falachta\u00ed idir Keats agus Cake.<\/p>

\u2022<\/span> <\/span>Cos\u00fail le Cake, rugadh Keats sa bhliain 1795. Fuair a chuid scola\u00edochta i gcathair Londain. Chuaig mar phrint\u00edseaach chuig Poitig\u00e9ir, agus ansin, chuaigh ag staid\u00e9ar Leighis, i Guys Hospital. Tuigeadh ansin go n-\u00e9ireodh go seoigh leis mar dhocht\u00fair.<\/div><\/div>
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>D\u00e9irigh s\u00e9 as an ndocht\u00faireacht seal, agus chuaigh ag f\u00e1na\u00edocht timpeall, agus ag scr\u00edobh.<\/div><\/div>
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>Bhuail eitinn \u00e9, agus chaith s\u00e9 dh\u00e1 bhliain, ag iarraidh an l\u00e1mh uachtair a fh\u00e1il ar an ngalar uaf\u00e1sach c\u00e9anna sin. Ba sa tr\u00e9imhse sin, a scr\u00edobh s\u00e9 na d\u00e1nta a chuir a ainm in airde i measc lucht litr\u00edochta. N\u00ed hionann sin is a r\u00e1, gur thuill na d\u00e1nta sin cl\u00fa agus c\u00e1il uil\u00edoch d\u00f3, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed daoine \u00e1irithe ann, a ch\u00e1in go g\u00e9ar iad, ach t\u00e1 siad ansin, mar oidhreacht uaidh.<\/div><\/div>
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>Sa bhliain 1820, agus \u00e9 ag iarraidh bua a fh\u00e1il ar a ghalar, sheol s\u00e9 chun na hEad\u00e1ile, mar ar bh\u00e1saigh s\u00e9, sa R\u00f3imh, an tEarrach d\u00e1r gcionn, agus gan ach na c\u00faig bliana fichead sl\u00e1naithe aige.<\/div>

Anois, bh\u00ed tuairim eic\u00ednt ag Tabor, gurbh \u00e9 Cake Keats, agus b\u2019fh\u00e9idir go raibh s\u00e9 chun leabhar a fhoilsi\u00fa, le sin a chruth\u00fa, ach p\u00e9 sc\u00e9al \u00e9, n\u00edor chuir s\u00e9 an chusp\u00f3ir sin i gcr\u00edch i ndeireadh na d\u00e1la, n\u00f3 b\u2019fh\u00e9idir gur cheap s\u00e9, go nd\u00e9anfa\u00ed ceap magaidh de, os comhair an tsaoil mh\u00f3ir, d\u00e1 nd\u00e9anfadh, agus c\u00e9ard a rinne s\u00e9 ach saothar fil\u00edochta a fhoilsi\u00fa, agus d\u2019fheicfeadh duine ar bith, nach raibh cos\u00falacht d\u00e1 laghad ag na d\u00e1nta sin, leis na d\u00e1nta a scr\u00edobh Tabor, mar fhear \u00f3g, ach go raibh an-chos\u00falacht eatarhtu agus d\u00e1nta Keats, agus fi\u00fa an t-ainm a bhaist s\u00e9 ar an saothar fil\u00edochta sin, \u201cHyperion and Other Poems, nach raibh macalla shaothar Keats le sonr\u00fa ar an teideal c\u00e9anna sin.<\/p>

C\u00e1 bhfuair Tabor na d\u00e1nta Keatsacha sin, an ea?<\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Nach cuimhin leat an beart \u00fad a luaigh Mrs Reilly ina litir dheiridh chuig Tabor? Nach bhf\u00e9adfadh go raibh slam de dh\u00e1nta Keats bailithe sa bheart sin, ag Cake fh\u00e9in, le tabhairt do Tabor, \u00f3 tharla gur chuir Tabor an oiread sin suime i Keats fh\u00e9in, agus a shaothar. Agus freisin, nach bhfuil chuile sheans ann, gur tuigeadh do Cake, go raibh a r\u00fan scaoilte ag Tabor, agus d\u00e1 bharr sin, n\u00e1rbh aon dochar \u00e9, na d\u00e1nta \u00fad a fh\u00e1g\u00e1il le huacht aige? <\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Sin an sc\u00e9al at\u00e1 \u00e1 mhe\u00e1, agus \u00e1 mheas, ag an \u00fadar, ag Andrew Motion, sa leabhar seo, agus caithfear a r\u00e1 gur \u00e9irigh leis, m\u00e9ar na f\u00e9idearthachta a sh\u00edneadh i dtreo na teoirice, gurbh \u00e9 Cake Keats. N\u00ed h\u00e9 mo thuairim go gcreidfear \u00e9, ar an m\u00f3r gc\u00f3ir, ach ag an am gc\u00e9anna, cuirfidh s\u00e9 daoine ag smaoineamh ar\u00eds, ar shaol agus ar shaothar an fhile \u00fad, John Keats.<\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Caithfidh m\u00e9 a admh\u00e1il \u00e1fach, gur bhain m\u00e9 taitneamh as mar leabhar, n\u00f3 in \u00e9ineacht leis an teoiric \u00fad, a luaigh m\u00e9, is iontach an p\u00edosa lorgaireachta a dh\u00e9anann an t-\u00fadar a leagan os \u00e1r gcomhair amach. <\/p>

M\u00e1 thagann t\u00fa trasna ar an leabhar seo, t\u00e1 m\u00e9 cinnte go mbainfidh t\u00fa taitneamh as.<\/p>
