Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter I, sentence 7

This adventure of Conn the Hundred Fighter and his son Art was by the way of water, and therefore he was more advanced in magic than Fionn was, all of whose adventures were by the path of clay and into Faery only, but Conn was the High King and so the arch-magician of Ireland.

Who acts: adventure, Land, all · What happens: be, adventure · To what, where: magic, Conn High King, Conn
