🌲 Maori folk-tales of the Port Hills, Canterbury, New Zealand, The Little People of the Mist., sentence 73

Nevertheless, for those who like to preserve their Peter Pan fancies and illusions this theory may cheerfully be disregarded, and we may still, on days of mist and cloudy calm, imagine the little tribes of the rocks flitting out from their caves and hollow trees and raising as of old their thin voices in their _waiatas_ and piping their fairy sweet _koauau_ music on the level hilltop of Otehore or the dark rock of Tamatea’s Breast.

Who acts: you, rocks, Picts · What happens: like, preserve, disregard, imagine, flit out, raise · To what, where: Peter fancies, theory, little tribes, music, caves, fairy sweet koauau
