Before the earth dweller turned his steps inland to woods and fields
the sea god baptised him with
the splash of a wave.
His race in this country grew and increased, and sure enough, the fascination for the salt water never left them.
They stand on our shores to-day,
like the deep ocean, dressed in dark blue, scanning with keen eyes the dancing waves,
and never, how far inland they may go, able to cast off their desire to roam over the world of waters.
The sea is to them as a woman
whose beauty attracts, but her favours or her frowns alike bring trouble.

“Ogma brought the Sword of Light from Findrias the cloud fair city that is in the east of the Dé Danaan world;
Nuada brought the Spear of Victory from Gorias the flame-bright city that is in the south of the Dé Danaan world;
the Dagda brought the Cauldron of Plenty from Murias the city that is builded in the west of the Dé Danaan world and has the stillness of deep waters;
Midyir brought the Stone of Destiny from Falias the city that is builded in the north of the Dé Danaan worldand has the steadfast of adamant.”
