Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter IV, sentence 22

It was a leg and an arm gripped then; a swing for Fionn, and out and away with him; plop and flop for him; down into chill deep death for him, and up with a splutter; with a sob; with a grasp at everything that caught nothing; with a wild flurry; with a raging despair; with a bubble and snort as he was hauled again down, and down, and down, and found as suddenly that he had been hauled out.

Who acts: heart · What happens: be, flop, catch, rage, haul, find · To what, where: deep death, nothing, boy
