The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 11, sentence 91

Due north she sped, Far fleeting, wind-upborne! ’twixt hill and cloud, To Uladh’s cliffs, and thence with prone descent Sank to the myriad-murmuring sea wine-dark, And whispered to the Genii of the deep, Her sisters:--then from ocean’s breast there rose A mist, no larger than a dead man’s shroud, That, slowly widening, spread o’er Uladh’s realm Mantle of darkness, and an erring mind, And powerlessness, and shame.

Who acts: clan · What happens: speed, upborne, sink, murmur, whisper, rise · To what, where: twixt hill, Genii, mist, breast
