Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., Firbolgs and Third Cycle of the Fomoroh., sentence 90

This being the case, modern philosophy, accounting for the origin of the classical deities by guesses and _a priori_ reasonings, has almost universally adopted that explanation which I have, elsewhere, called Wordsworthian, and which derives them directly from the imagination personifying the aspects of nature.

Who acts: This, case, I, imagination · What happens: be, account, adopt, have, call, derive · To what, where: case, explanation, gods, imagination, aspects · Speech: someone speaks here
