Celtic Fairy Tales, I. Connla and the Fairy Maiden., sentence 39

The passage certainly seems to me to imply a different conception from the ordinary classical views of the life after death, the dark and dismal plains of Erebus peopled with ghosts; and the passage I have italicised would chime in well with the conception of a continuance of youth (_idem spiritus_) in Tir-nan-Og (_orbe alio_).

Who acts: passage, dark plains, I, youth · What happens: seem, imply, people, italicis, chime, conceive · To what, where: me, different conception, ordinary classical views, passage, Tir nan, continuance
