Na híomhánna agus na fuaimeanna Flashcards
what was the first sound?
fuaim an spád nuair a bhí an feirmeoir ag glanadh cré
white -> ‘white’ represents the perfect island
bán -> seasann ‘bán’ don oiléan foirfe
the gentle sound of the sea in the background
fuaim shéimh na farraige sa chúlra
That sound creates a peaceful, calm, quiet atmosphere
Cruthaíonn an fhuaim sin atmaisféar síochánta, suaimhneach, ciúin.
We see an image of seaweed on a white stony beach in the second verse
Feicimid íomhá d’fheamainn dheard ar thrá bhán chlochach sa dara véarsa
the colours and the image create a beautiful, ideal picture of the beauty of the beach and the poet himself says that the scene is beautiful and bright with the word ‘niamrach’
cruthaíonn na dathanna agus an íomhá pictiúr álainn, idéalach d’áilleacht na trá agus deir an file féin gurb álainn agus geal an radharc é leis an bhfocal ‘niamhrach’
there is no unpleasant sounds to be heard apart from the sound of the sea
níl aon fhuaimeanna míthaitneamach le cloisteáil seachas fuaim na farraige
the waves
na tonnta
he describes the sounds of the faint blows when the fishermen’s oars hit the water
déanann sé cur síos ar fhuaim na mbuillí laga nuair a bhuaileann maidí rámha na n-iascairí an t-uisce
faint blows
buillí laga
delightful
suáilceach
The poet mentions the beautiful golden color of the sun on the calm sea in the evening
Luann an file dáth óir álainn na gréine ar an bhfarraige chiúin um thráthnóna
a talented use of colours and sounds
leas cumasach as dathanna agus fuaimeanna
they stimulate the reader’s senses and create a beautiful picture if his native island
spreagann siad céadfaí an léitheora agus cruthaíonn siad pictiúr álainn dá oileán dúchais
