Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter VIII, sentence 5

It is probable that, however courageously she had accepted fate, Becuma had been sharply stricken in her pride; in the sense of personal strength, aloofness, and identity, in which the mind likens itself to god and will resist every domination but its own.

Who acts: feeling, trouble, Becuma, mind · What happens: be, accept, liken, god, resist, pride · To what, where: fate, pride, feeling, sense, domination, personal strength
