| "When Oisin was an old, old man and when
all the other Fianna were dead, he was asked by Saint Patrick
what was the music that Finn and the Fianna loved best to hear. Remembering those days and
the sunburnt companions who were long gone, he told the holy man that the best music
was... ...the music of what happened" (from the ancient Irish Fenian Cycle, as re-told by Marie Heaney in Over Nine Waves, Faber & Faber, 1994)
