“1906, Augusta, Lady Gregory, A Book of Saints and Wonders, Columcille: The Friend of the Angels of God, Even Nera from the Sidhe could not do it; he is not made much of now; our learned one is not the light⟳ of our life now he is hidden away from us.”

“Their reign has never ceased, but only waned in power a little, for the Sidhe still pass⟳ in every wind, and dance⟳ and play⟳ at hurley, and fight⟳ their sudden battles in every hollow and on every hill; but they cannot build⟳ their temples again till there have⟳ been martyrdoms and victories, and perhaps even that long-foretold battle in the Valley of the Black Pig.”

““‘Fun,’” Ria echoed. “You want⟳ to invite⟳ me to one of the Sidhe’s High Holy Days—me—and you think⟳ it'll be 'fun'?””
