Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., part 3, sentence 58
I know there are others, like myself, who will not hesitate for once to let the fancy roam and luxuriate in the larger spaces and freer airs of ancient song, nor fear that their sanity will be imperilled by the shouting of semi-divine heroes, and the sight of Cuculain entering battles with the Tuatha De Danan around him.
Who acts: I, others, shouting, sight, semi-divine heroes · What happens: know, be, not hesitate, let, luxuriate, imperill · To what, where: fancy roam, larger spaces, sanity, battles, Cuculain · Speech: someone speaks here
