Sinann
This story is of the
longest river in Ireland, the Shannon. Sinann, Goddess of the river,
went to Connla's Well, which is under sea, to behold it. This well
holds hazels and inspirations of wisdom, and in the same hour their
fruit, and blossom, and foliage break forth, and fall on the well in
a shower, which raises on the water a royal surge of purple. Then the
salmon chew the fruit, and the juice of the nuts shows on their
bellies. And seven streams of wisdom spring forth.
