Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., part 4, sentence 88

This at first seems meaningless, the bard seeing no necessity for throwing further light on the subject; but, as we wander through the bardic literature, gradually the conception of this Lu grows upon the mind--the destroyer of the sons of Turann--the implacably filial--the expulsor of the Fomoroh--the source of all the sciences--the god of the Tuatha De Danan--the protector and guardian of Cuculain--Lu Lamfada, son of Cian, son of Diancect, son of Esric, son of Dela, son of Ned the war-god, whose tomb or temple, Aula Neid, may still be seen beside the Foyle.

Who acts: This, bard, we, conception · What happens: seem, see, throw, wander, grow, conceive · To what, where: necessity, further light, subject, bardic literature, mind, son
