Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Seventeenth Evening, sentence 20
From the deep wells, and perhaps from the prisons by the Bridge of Sighs, rise the accents of woe, as at the time when the tambourine was heard in the gay gondolas, and the golden ring was cast from the Bucentaur to Adria, the queen of the seas.
Who acts: you · What happens: rise, hear, cast, accent · To what, where: accents, deep wells, tambourine, gay gondolas, golden ring, Bucentaur
