Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 15, sentence 130
But one day when deep in the woods, And very far in the North, In the mid winter gloom, The youth went raging mad, For the witch had struck him sore, Though far and far away, Struck him with sorcery.
Who acts: youth · What happens: go, rage, strike · To what, where: mid winter gloom, witch
