Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter I, sentence 6

It was wonderful, then, that Fionn should have remembered all that happened to him in that wide-spun moment, but in this tale there is yet more to marvel at; for not only did Fionn go to Faery, but the great army which he had marshalled to Ben Edair [The Hill of Howth] were translated also, and neither he nor they were aware that they had departed from the world until they came back to it.

Who acts: memory, Fionn, that, more, Edair, people · What happens: be, remember, happen, spin, marvel, not go · To what, where: Fionn, tale, Faery, great army, Ben Edair, world · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «Irish Fairy Tales» by James Stephens, Chapter I. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (memory, Fionn, that, more), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
