Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter VII. “What do you see?” Fionn demanded of the watcher, sentence 43

Then the Fianna gave a roar of exultation, and each man seized his neighbour and kissed him on both cheeks; and they gripped hands about Fionn, and they danced round and round in a great circle, roaring with laughter and relief, in the ecstasy which only comes where grisly fear has been and whence that bony jowl has taken itself away.

Who acts: Fianna, man, cheeks, ecstasy, exultation · What happens: give, seize, kiss, grip, dance, roar · To what, where: roar, neighbour, man, cheeks, hands, great circle
