Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Raven, sentence 20

Suddenly a feeling of fatigue came over him, and unable to resist it, he lay down for a little while, fully determined, however, to keep awake; but in another minute his eyes closed of their own accord, and he fell into such a deep sleep, that all the noises in the world would not have awakened him.

Who acts: feeling, man, eyes · What happens: come, resist, lie down, keep, close, fall · To what, where: feeling, deep sleep, noises
