Barddoni a’r Gyfraith. Yr hawl i glebran.

Poetry and the Law. The right to chat.
Ymson Ysgrifennydd Cartref

Mae hawliau hyd yr ymylon i bawb
o ryw bobol estron
Pawb a’i hawl? Fy hawl yw hon:
yr hawl i fod yn greulon.

Doed dydd y caffo’r Goron - reoli
heb ryw hawliau gwirion;
ond un hawl a gadwn, hon:
Yr hawl i fod yn greulon.

A’u higam-ogam fflamgoch
yn darfod yn gawod goch,
dydd barn, goeden fasarn fach,

Cwestiwn: pa weilch a’u castiau olygodd

Y ddiwedaraf mewn llinach wael o Ysgrifenyddion Cartref anryddfrydol. Beio dioddefwyr yn hunan-gyfiawn, siarad yn galed, chwarae i’r galeri.

The latest in an ignoble line of illiberal Home Secretaries. Self-righteous victim blaming, talking tough, playing to the gallery.

Dau geiliog gyda’i gilydd - dau gegog,
dau geiliog digwilydd,
dau geiliog ffond o gelwydd
gwneud caniad heb doriad dydd.

ubi solitudinem faciunt pacem appellant

Lle bu teulu, tawelwch - lle bu tŷ,
bwlch tawel. A welwch
furiau llosg dan gefnfor llwch,
dan huddug? Dyna heddwch.

Edrych mlaen at gael beirniadu cystadleuaeth englyn y dydd eto eleni yn ystod yr Ymryson gan ddechrau fory am 1.00 yn y Babell Lên.

Bydd Barddas yn cyhoeddi’r testun cyntaf am 3.00 pnawm ma.

Os bydd y cynnyrch hanner cystal â llynedd bydd hi’n annodd dewis ond bydd gwledd o’n blaenau.

Eisteddfod Llandudoch neithiwr. Pleser mawr oedd cael dyfarnu’r gadair i’r amryddawn Wyn Owens o Fynachlog-ddu am gywydd mawl i’r bardd o werinwraig ddysgedig o Lydaw, Anjela Duval, a heriai ‘Rym Ffrainc drwy ei chainc a’i cherdd’. Gobeithio y gwelwn ni o mewn print.

“My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.”

Mae rhywbeth yn gorffen heno. Darfod.

Fis Ionawr rhoddais dystiolaeth i Bwyllgor Tŷ’r Cyffredin ar agweddau Cymreig y Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Mae’r blog (Saesneg) hwn yn ymdrin â rhai o’r materion cyfansoddiadol a gymhlethir gan y ffaith fod Senedd Cymru wedi pleidleisio yn erbyn egwyddorion y Bil.

In January I gave evidence to the House of Commons Committee scrutinising the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. This blog expands on some of the constitutional issues raised, complicated by the fact that the Welsh Parliament voted against the principles of the Bill.

Fel y dylai R. S. Thomas fod wedi dweud
As R. S. Thomas should have said

To live in Wales is to be conscious
At dusk of the spilled pass
That went into the making of the ninth try
