Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., part 1, sentence 35
The early History of Ireland clings around and grows out of the Irish barrows until, with almost the universality of that primeval forest from which Ireland took one of its ancient names, the whole isle and all within it was clothed with a nobler raiment, invisible, but not the less real, of a full and luxuriant history, from whose presence, all-embracing, no part was free.
Who acts: early History, Ireland, part, history · What happens: cling around, grow out, take, clothe, embrace, be · To what, where: Irish barrows, one, primeval forest, history
