…Many years later, in the reign of Art-mac-Conn, at the festival of Samhuin,
the Master Poets came to the feast, as was their custom,
and they brought their tablets of poetry with them…
*
When king Art saw the tablets of Yew and Apple
he asked for them and they were brought to him.
*
The king was holding the tablets in each hand,
face to face, admiring their craftsmanship,
when the two sprang together and would not from that time on be separated.
*
Like woodbine around a twig were they and so they were preserved
with all the other wondrous jewels in the Treasury of Tara…
