Basic Info| Name: | Mad Sweeney |

| Website: | DF Wiki |
BioHis brain convulsed,
his mind split open.
Vertigo, hysteria, lurchings
and launchings came over him,
he staggered and flapped desperately,
he was revolted by the thought of known places
and dreamed strange migrations.
His fingers stiffened,
his feet scuffled and flurried,
his heart was startled,
his senses were mesmerized,
his sight was bent,
the weapons fell from his hands
and he levitated in a frantic cumbersome motion
like a bird of the air.
And Ronan's curse was fulfilled.
--Buile Suibhne, translated by Seamus Heaney
"I only met Mad Sweeney twice, alive" he said. "The first time I thought he was a world-class jerk with the devil in him. The second time I thought he was a major fuckup and I gave him the money to kill himself. He showed me a coin trick I don't remember how to do, gave me some bruises and claimed he was a leprechaun. Rest in peace, Mad Sweeney." --American Gods by Neil Gaiman
