Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter VI, sentence 14

He put them out of the world and out of life, so that they stopped being, and no one could tell where they went or what had really happened to them; and it is a wonder indeed that one can do that to anything let alone a band.

Who acts: Leinsterman, poets, one, life · What happens: put, stop, tell, go, happen, be · To what, where: poets, world, wonder, that, alone · Speech: someone speaks here
