Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter VIII, sentence 2

But he was as fitted for loneliness as the crane is that haunts the solitudes and bleak wastes of the sea; for the man with a thought has a comrade, and Fionn’s mind worked as featly as his body did.

Who acts: man, mind, body, Fionn · What happens: fit, be, have, work, do, mind · To what, where: Fionn, comrade
