‘TEWI’R IAITH AR Y TROTHWY’: CERDDI AC ECO-IEITHYDDIAETH
Ddeng mlynedd yn ôl, mewn erthygl yn rhifyn 150 Taliesin (2013, t. 79), holodd Damian Walford Davies: ‘[s]ut yr ymatebodd y meddwl a’r dychymyg llenyddol Cymraeg i bresenoldeb sefydliadau milwrol ar dir Cymru […]?’, cyn mynd yn ei flaen i ddatgan bod hwn yn gategori o ‘lên rhyfel nad yw eto wedi’i ddiffinio a’i archwilio’n fanwl’. Mae’r erthygl isod yn ymdrin ag un agwedd o’r categori hwnnw drwy ddarllen y dadleoli a ddigwyddodd yn sgil atafaelu tir yng Nghymru gan Weinyddiaeth Rhyfel yr Ail Ryfel Byd a’r darllen hwnnw’n digwydd yng ngoleuni damcaniaethau eco-ieithyddiaeth. Gan ddechrau gyda chywydd Waldo Williams, ‘Daw’r Wennol yn ôl i’w Nyth’, sy’n ymdrin â chanlyniadau atafaelu tiroedd Castell Martin yn ne Sir Benfro (1939), try’r sylwadau i ganolbwyntio ar waith rhai o’r beirdd a ymatebodd i Chwalfa’r Epynt (1940). Cymhara hynny â sut y mae lladmeryddion ar ran Gweinyddiaeth Amddiffyn ein dyddiau ni’n ymateb i effaith yr atafaelu ar yr amgylchedd. Mae’r ddadl yn hawlio mai tyndra rhwng ‘naratif absenoldeb’ a ‘naratif presenoldeb’ yw un o brif nodweddion y gwahaniaeth rhwng y ddau fath ar ymateb.
