Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shoes of Fortune, part 4, sentence 35

Among the latter there may be far more poetical natures than many an acknowledged poet, when examined more closely, could boast of; the difference only is, that the poet possesses a better mental memory, on which account he is able to retain the feeling and the thought till they can be embodied by means of words; a faculty which the others do not possess.

Who acts: difference, poet, others · What happens: be, acknowledge, examine, boast, possess, retain · To what, where: faculty, better mental memory, account, feeling, poets · Speech: someone speaks here
