Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Seventeenth Evening, sentence 14

That is not a fairy palace you see before you yonder, but a church: the gilded domes and shining orbs flash back my beams; the glorious bronze horses up yonder have made journeys, like the bronze horse in the fairy tale: they have come hither, and gone hence, and have returned again.

Who acts: That, you, gilded domes, domes, my · What happens: not be, see, gild, shine, flash back, make · To what, where: fairy palace, beams, glorious bronze horses
