The old image in Irish myth for this is this next to every chamber of joy.
There's another room.
That room is filled with crow feathers.
And at some point it is the business of love that you have to lie in those feathers.
That room,
You know, that's the other side of the coin of all the joy.
It's the appropriate grief.
And so he lay there, and I tell you, when he came out, he had what we call the beard snow on the mountain.
He had snow on the mountain.

And you can imagine, Finn is not a man who's just going to let this go.
