Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., part 5, sentence 9

A noble literature indeed it is, having too this strange interest, that though mainly characterised by a great plainness and simplicity of thought, and, in the earlier stages, of expression, we feel, oftentimes, a sudden weirdness, a strange glamour shoots across the poem when the tale seems to open for a moment into mysterious depths, druidic secrets veiled by time, unsunned caves of thought, indicating a still deeper range of feeling, a still lower and wider reach of imagination.

Who acts: noble literature, we, strange glamour, tale · What happens: have, characteris, feel, shoot, seem, open · To what, where: strange interest, poem, mysterious depths, druidic secrets
