Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 1, sentence 117

Few indeed and far between are those who ever suspected till of late years that every hill and dale in New England had its romantic legend, its beautiful poem, or its marvellous myth--the latter equal in conception and form to those of the Edda--or that a vast collection of these traditions still survives in perfect preservation among the few remaining Indians of New England and the Northeast Coast, or the _Wabano_.

Who acts: hill, vast collection · What happens: be, suspect, have, form, survive · To what, where: those, late years, perfect preservation
