Flannagan mac Ceallach, Irish poet, fl. 879. Flannagan appears to be known almost exclusively from three verses of a poem he composed upon the death of King Áed Findliath in 879. It is preserved in that year's entry in the Annals of the Four Masters: * ''Long is the wintry night/with rough gusts of wind/Under pressing grief we encounter it/since the red-speared king of the noble house liveth not.'' * ''It is awful to watch how/the waves heave from the bottom;/To them may be compared all/those who with us lament him.'' * ''A generous, wise, staid man,/of whose renown wide-ruling Teamhair was full/A shielded oak that sheltered/the palace of Milidh's sons.'' * ''Master of the games of the fair-hilled Tailtin/King of Teamhair of an hundred conflicts/Chief of Fodhla the noble/Aedh of Oileach who died too soon.'' * ''Mournful, not forgotten,/the departure from this world;/Stony, not merciful/is the heart of the son of man;'' * ''No greater than small flies/are the kings of Adam's race with him/A yew without any charge of blemish upon him/was he of the long flowing hair.'' He may, or may not, be identical with a namsake King of Brega who was killed at the battle of Oldba in 895. ==External links== * http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100005A/ 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flannagan mac Ceallach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
