Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter II. Said Cairide’:, sentence 4

But there may have been something of calculation even in her wildest moment, for if she was delighted in her affection she was tormented in it also, as are all those who love the great ones of life and strive to equal themselves where equality is not possible.

Who acts: wife, affection, equality · What happens: be, torment, love, strive, equal, not be · To what, where: something, affection, wife, great ones, ecstasy
