Musicians and poets of genius were sometimes stolen away by the Aes Sidhe (People of the Hill) for their talents, forced to entertain the #fairy throng at one of their endless balls, and then discarded when the fickle Good Folk had had their fill.
Generally, one discarded by the fairies pined for the beautiful land left behind and died not long after returning to mortal life.

“I come from the Land of the Living, where there is neither death, nor sin, nor transgression.
We partake of feasts perpetual.
In a large hill we dwell, and hence we are called Aes Sidhe (People of the Hill)”
