Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 2, sentence 77

The Hindoo woman in her long robe stands upon the funeral pile; the flames rise around her and her dead husband, but the Hindoo woman thinks on the living one in the surrounding circle; on him whose eyes burn hotter than the flames--on him, the fire of whose eyes pierces her heart more than the flames which soon will burn her body to ashes.

Who acts: Hindoo woman, flames, eyes · What happens: stand, rise, think, surround, burn, fire · To what, where: funeral pile, fire pierces, body, eyes
