Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bishop of Borglum and His Warriors, sentence 118

The door still seems to open, and the lights seem to flame in the brazen candlesticks; the fragrance of incense arises; the church gleams in its ancient splendor; and the monks sing and say the mass over the slain bishop, who lies there in the black silver-embroidered mantle, with the crozier in his powerless hand; and on his pale proud forehead gleams the red wound like fire, and there burn the worldly mind and the wicked thoughts.

Who acts: door, lights, fragrance, church, monks, slain bishop · What happens: seem, open, arise, gleam, sing, say · To what, where: flame, ancient splendor, mass, slain bishop, black embroidered mantle, red wound · Speech: someone speaks here
