' that 's the wife for me ! ' he thought ; ' but she is so grand , and lives in a castle , whilst i have only a box with four - and - twenty others . this is no place for her ! but i must make her acquaintance . ' then he stretched himself out behind a snuff - box that lay on the table ; from thence he could watch the dainty little lady , who continued to stand on one leg without losing her balance . when the night came all the other tin - soldiers went into their box , and the people of the house went to bed . then the toys began to play at visiting , dancing , and fighting . the tin - soldiers rattled in their box , for they wanted to be out too , but they could not raise the lid . the nut - crackers played at leap - frog , and the slate - pencil ran about the slate ; there was such a noise that the canary woke up and began to talk to them , in poetry too ! the only two who did not stir from their places were the tin - soldier and the little dancer . she remained on tip - toe , with both arms outstretched ; he stood steadfastly on his one leg , never moving his eyes from her face .

began to play at visiting , dancing , and fighting .

there the tin - soldier lay , and felt a heat that was truly terrible ; but whether he was suffering from actual fire , or from the ardour of his passion , he did not know . all his colour had disappeared ; whether this had happened on his travels or whether it was the result of trouble , who can say ? he looked at the little lady , she looked at him , and he felt that he was melting ; but he remained steadfast , with his gun at his shoulder . suddenly a door opened , the draught caught up the little dancer , and off she flew like a sylph to the tin - soldier in the stove , burst into flames - and that was the end of her ! then the tin - soldier melted down into a little lump , and when next morning the maid was taking out the ashes , she found him in the shape of a heart . there was nothing left of the little dancer but her gilt rose , burnt as black as a cinder .
|
he loved the dancer .

up and down swam the fish , then he made the most dreadful contortions , and became suddenly quite still . then it was as if a flash of lightning had passed through him ; the daylight streamed in , and a voice exclaimed , ' why , here is the little tin - soldier ! ' the fish had been caught , taken to market , sold , and brought into the kitchen , where the cook had cut it open with a great knife . she took up the soldier between her finger and thumb , and carried him into the room , where everyone wanted to see the hero who had been found inside a fish ; but the tin - soldier was not at all proud . they put him on the table , and - no , but what strange things do happen in this world!-the tin - soldier was in the same room in which he had been before ! he saw the same children , and the same toys on the table ; and there was the same grand castle with the pretty little dancer . she was still standing on one leg with the other high in the air ; she too was steadfast . that touched the tin - soldier , he was nearly going to shed tin - tears ; but that would not have been fitting for a soldier . he looked at her , but she said nothing . all at once one of the little boys took up the tin - soldier , and threw him into the stove , giving no reasons ; but doubtless the little black imp in the snuff - box was at the bottom of this too .

it would not have been fitting for a soldier .

so trouble and anger wrought in the witch woman , and she waited the day to be revenged on murtough , for he being yet a pagan , was still within her power to harm . so when sheen ( for sheen or " storm " was the name men gave to her ) saw the king seated on the fairy mound and all his comrades parted from him , she arose softly , and combed her hair with her comb of silver adorned with little ribs of gold , and she washed her hands in a silver basin wherein were four golden birds sitting on the rim of the bowl , and little bright gems of carbuncle set round about the rim . and she donned her fairy mantle of flowing green , and her cloak , wide and hooded , with silvery fringes , and a brooch of fairest gold . on her head were tresses yellow like to gold , plaited in four locks , with a golden drop at the end of each long tress .

when the king saw that vision , he rose screaming from his sleep , and donned his arms ; and he made one plunge forward seeking for the magic hosts , but he found no man to answer him . the damsel went forth from the house , and murtough made to follow her , but as he turned the flames leaped out , and all between him and the door was one vast sheet of flame . he saw no way of escape , save the vat of wine that stood in the banqueting hall , and into that he got ; but the burning timbers of the roof fell upon his head and the hails of fiery sparks rained on him , so that half of him was burned and half was drowned , as he had seen in his dream .

in the days when murtough mac erca was in the high kingship of ireland , the country was divided between the old beliefs of paganism and the new doctrines of the christian teaching . part held with the old creed and part with the new , and the thought of the people was troubled between them , for they knew not which way to follow and which to forsake . the faith of their forefathers clung close around them , holding them by many fine and tender threads of memory and custom and tradition ; yet still the new faith was making its way , and every day it spread wider and wider through the land . the family of murtough had joined itself to the christian faith , and his three brothers were bishops and abbots of the church , but murtough himself remained a pagan , for he was a wild and lawless prince , and the peaceful teachings of the christian doctrine , with its forgiveness of enemies , pleased him not at all . fierce and cruel was his life , filled with dark deeds and bloody wars , and savage and tragic was his death , as we shall hear . now murtough was in the sunny summer palace of cletty , which cormac , son of art , had built for a pleasure house on the brink of the slow - flowing boyne , near the fairy brugh of angus the ever young , the god of youth and beauty . a day of summer was that day , and the king came forth to hunt on the borders of the brugh , with all his boon companions around him . but when the high - noon came the sun grew hot , and the king sat down to rest upon the fairy mound , and the hunt passed on beyond him , and he was left alone .

so trouble and anger wrought in the witch woman , and she waited the day to be revenged on murtough , for he being yet a pagan , was still within her power to harm . so when sheen ( for sheen or " storm " was the name men gave to her ) saw the king seated on the fairy mound and all his comrades parted from him , she arose softly , and combed her hair with her comb of silver adorned with little ribs of gold , and she washed her hands in a silver basin wherein were four golden birds sitting on the rim of the bowl , and little bright gems of carbuncle set round about the rim . and she donned her fairy mantle of flowing green , and her cloak , wide and hooded , with silvery fringes , and a brooch of fairest gold . on her head were tresses yellow like to gold , plaited in four locks , with a golden drop at the end of each long tress . the hue of her hair was like the flower of the iris in summer or like red gold after the burnishing thereof . and she wore on her breasts and at her shoulders marvellous clasps of gold , finely worked with the tracery of the skilled craftsman , and a golden twisted torque around her throat . and when she was decked she went softly and sat down beside murtough on the turfy hunting mound . and after a space murtough perceived her sitting there , and the sun shining upon her , so that the glittering of the gold and of her golden hair and the bright shining of the green silk of her garments , was like the yellow iris - beds upon the lake on a sunny summer 's day . wonder and terror seized on murtough at her beauty , and he knew not if he loved her or if he hated her the most ; for at one moment all his nature was filled with longing and with love of her , so that it seemed to him that he would give the whole of ireland for the loan of one hour 's space of dalliance with her ; but after that he felt a dread of her , because he knew his fate was in her hands , and that she had come to work him ill .

she wanted to be in a disguise .

but he welcomed her as if she were known to him and he asked her wherefore she was come . " i am come , " she said , " because i am beloved of murtough , son of erc , king of erin , and i come to seek him here . " then murtough was glad , and he said , " dost thou not know me , maiden ? " " i do , " she answered , " for all secret and mysterious things are known to me and thou and all the men of erin are well known . " after he had conversed with her awhile , she appeared to him so fair that the king was ready to promise her anything in life she wished , so long as she would go with him to cletty of the boyne . " my wish , " she said , " is that you take me to your house , and that you put out from it your wife and your children because they are of the new faith , and all the clerics that are in your house , and that neither your wife nor any cleric be permitted to enter the house while i am there . " " i will give you , " said the king , " a hundred head of every herd of cattle that is within my kingdom , and a hundred drinking horns , and a hundred cups , and a hundred rings of gold , and a feast every other night in the summer palace of cletty . but i pledge thee my word , oh , maiden , it were easier for me to give thee half of ireland than to do this thing that thou hast asked . " for murtough feared that when those that were of the christian faith were put out of his house , she would work her spells upon him , and no power would be left with him to resist those spells . " i will not take thy gifts , " said the damsel , " but only those things that i have asked ; moreover , it is thus , that my name must never be uttered by thee , nor must any man or woman learn it . " " what is thy name , " said murtough , " that it may not come upon my lips to utter it ? " and she said , " sigh , sough , storm , rough wind , winter night , cry , wail , groan , this is my name , but men call me sheen , for ' storm ' or sheen is my chief name , and storms are with me where i come . " nevertheless , murtough was so fascinated by her that he brought her to his home , and drove out the clerics that were there , with his wife and children along with them , and drove out also the nobles of his own clan , the children of niall , two great and gallant battalions . and duivsech , his wife , went crying along the road with her children around her to seek bishop cairnech , the half - brother of her husband , and her own soul - friend , that she might obtain help and shelter from him .

but he welcomed her as if she were known to him and he asked her wherefore she was come . " i am come , " she said , " because i am beloved of murtough , son of erc , king of erin , and i come to seek him here . " then murtough was glad , and he said , " dost thou not know me , maiden ? " " i do , " she answered , " for all secret and mysterious things are known to me and thou and all the men of erin are well known . " after he had conversed with her awhile , she appeared to him so fair that the king was ready to promise her anything in life she wished , so long as she would go with him to cletty of the boyne . " my wish , " she said , " is that you take me to your house , and that you put out from it your wife and your children because they are of the new faith , and all the clerics that are in your house , and that neither your wife nor any cleric be permitted to enter the house while i am there .

" fear me not , o murtough , " she cried ; " i am , like thee , a daughter of the race of men of the ancient family of adam and of eve ; fit and meet my comradeship with thee ; therefore , fear not nor regret .

and as to that true god of thine , worker of miracles and helper of his people , no miracle in all the world is there that i , by mine own unaided power , can not work the like . i can create a sun and moon ; the heavens i can sprinkle with radiant stars of night . i can call up to life men fiercely fighting in conflict , slaughtering one another . wine i could make of the cold water of the boyne , and sheep of lifeless stones , and swine of ferns . in the presence of the hosts i can make gold and silver , plenty and to spare ; and hosts of famous fighting men i can produce from naught . now , tell me , can thy god work the like ? " " work for us , " says the king , " some of these great wonders . " then sheen went forth out of the house , and she set herself to work spells on murtough , so that he knew not whether he was in his right mind or no . she took of the water of the boyne and made a magic wine thereout , and she took ferns and spiked thistles and light puff - balls of the woods , and out of them she fashioned magic swine and sheep and goats , and with these she fed murtough and the hosts . and when they had eaten , all their strength went from them , and the magic wine sent them into an uneasy sleep and restless slumbers .

and out of stones and sods of earth she fashioned three battalions , and one of the battalions she placed at one side of the house , and the other at the further side beyond it , and one encircling the rest southward along the hollow windings of the glen . and thus were these battalions , one of them all made of men stark - naked and their colour blue , and the second with heads of goats with shaggy beards and horned ; but the third , more terrible than they , for these were headless men , fighting like human beings , yet finished at the neck ; and the sound of heavy shouting as of hosts and multitudes came from the first and the second battalion , but from the third no sound save only that they waved their arms and struck their weapons together , and smote the ground with their feet impatiently . and though terrible was the shout of the blue men and the bleating of the goats with human limbs , more horrible yet was the stamping and the rage of those headless men , finished at the neck . and murtough , in his sleep and in his dreams , heard the battle - shout , and he rose impetuously from off his bed , but the wine overcame him , and his strength departed from him , and he fell helplessly upon the floor . then he heard the challenge a second time , and the stamping of the feet without , and he rose again , and madly , fiercely , he set on them , charging the hosts and scattering them before him , as he thought , as far as the fairy palace of the brugh . but all his strength was lost in fighting phantoms , for they were but stones and sods and withered leaves of the forest that he took for fighting men . now duivsech , murtough 's wife , knew what was going on . she called upon cairnech to arise and to gather together the clans of the children of his people , the men of owen and of niall , and together they went to the fort ; but sheen guarded it well , so that they could by no means find an entrance . then she went everywhere throughout the house , and took lighted brands and burning torches , and scattered them in every part of the dwelling . and she returned into the room wherein murtough slept , and lay down by his side . and she caused a great wind to spring up , and it came soughing through the house from the north - west ; and the king said , " this is the sigh of the winter night . " and sheen smiled , because , unwittingly , the king had spoken her name , for she knew by that that the hour of her revenge had come . " it is i myself that am sigh and winter night , " she said , " and i am rough wind and storm , a daughter of fair nobles ; and i am cry and wail , the maid of elfin birth , who brings ill - luck to men . " after that she caused a great snowstorm to come round the house ; and like the noise of troops and the rage of battle was the storm , beating and pouring in on every side , so that drifts of deep snow were piled against the walls , blocking the doors and chilling the folk that were feasting within the house . but the king was lying in a heavy , unresting sleep , and sheen was at his side . suddenly he screamed out of his sleep and stirred himself , for he heard the crash of falling timbers and the noise of the magic hosts , and he smelled the strong smell of fire in the palace . he sprang up . " it seems to me , " he cried , " that hosts of demons are around the house , and that they are slaughtering my people , and that the house of cletty is on fire .

" then she made penitence for the sin that she had sinned , and she died there upon the grave of grief and of sorrow after the king . and they digged a grave lengthways across the foot of the wide grave of murtough and his spouse , and there they laid the maiden who had wrought them woe . and the clerics wondered at those things , and they wrote them and revised them in a book .

in the long time ago , conchubar , son of ness , was king of ulster , and he held his court in the palace of emain macha . and this is the way he came to be king . he was but a young lad , and his father was not living . fergus , son of rogh , who was at that time king of ulster , asked his mother ness in marriage . now ness , that was at one time the quietest and kindest of the women of ireland , had got to be unkind and treacherous because of an unkindness that had been done to her . she planned to get the kingdom away from fergus for her own son . so she said to fergus , " let conchubar hold the kingdom for a year , so that his children after him may be called the children of a king . that is the marriage portion i will ask of you . " " you may do that , " the men of ulster said to him . " for even though conchubar gets the name of being king , it is yourself that will be our king all the time . " so fergus agreed to it , and he took ness as his wife , and her son conchubar was made king in his place .
