Fionn mac Cumhaill
" ... he heard far off in the deepening gloom the first notes of the fairy harp. Never such music was made by mortal hand, for it had in it sorrows that man has never felt, and joys for which man has no name, and it seemed as if a man listening to that music might burst from time into eternity..."
The High Deeds of Finn and other Bardic Romances of Ancient Ireland, by T. W. Rolleston

...he searched hither and thither for a fortnight, till at last he found that island, which was an island indeed with the sea over it and around it and beneath it. There dwelt the red-haired ocean-nymphs in glittering palaces among the sea-flowers...

According to science, The Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland was formed by volcanic activity, but folklore tells us that it was really constructed by the Irish giant Fionn Mac Cumhaill as a bridge between Ireland and Scotland so he could challenge the Scottish giant Benandonner to a fight.

Ich bin allen Ernstes letztes Jahr einmal abends wieder aus dem Bett geklettert und habe nachgeschaut, ob die Rewe Bio Finn-Toasties als "nordische" oder "nordirische" Spezialität beworben werden.
Es ist "nordisch" und "Finn" meint wahrscheinlich Finnland, ich muss aber immer auch an Finn MacCool denken, den "legendary hero of old Ireland", den Flann O'Brien in "At Swim-Two-Birds" so schön auf die Schippe nahm.
