Celtic Fairy Tales, Notes and References, sentence 78
Every Celt of these islands or in the Gaeldom beyond the sea, and every Celt-lover among the English-speaking nations, should regard it as one of the duties of the race to put its traditions on record in the few years that now remain before they will cease for ever to be living in the hearts and memories of the humbler members of the race.
Who acts: Celt, Celts · What happens: speak, regard, put, remain, cease, live · To what, where: sea, traditions, record, few years, hearts · Speech: someone speaks here
