#Niamh, Princess of the Golden Hair, had fallen in love with the poet #Oisin, who was overtaken on first sight with desire for this lovely woman from the #Otherworld. The beauty with the shining eyes pulled him onto her fine white horse with golden reins. Without a look back #Oisin went over seas and plains and mountains far beyond #Ireland to the Land of Pleasure.

Without a look back #Oisin went over seas and plains and mountains far out to sea on a magical island, Tir Tairngiri (“land of promise”). ´There they lived in a swoon of happiness made even more blissful by the birth of their daughter Plur na Mban (“flower of womanhood”). `
