Then Kulóskap the God, Arose in all his might, Tremendous--for he rose Up to the clouds above-- And took the Giant Bird As if he were a duck, And, tying fast his wings, Cast him afar, adown Into a deep dark cleft Between the splintered rocks, And left him lying there.

Who acts: KULÓSKAP, Bird, duck · What happens: rise up, take, be, tie, cast, splinter · To what, where: clouds, Giant Bird, duck, wings, afar adown, Bird
