Ossian's Hall of Mirrors is the following quatrain and I can't exactly say I understand it all:

See there the habitat of the story
at the back of the story's shadow (reflection?)
hear the verbosity of the antlering (=branching?) river
as she relates her bellowing story
The first two lines in particular make hardly any sense to me, and the
a d' in the first is a complete mystery. Anybody got an explanation, or, more probably, correction?
