Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Old Grave-stone, sentence 42

All that the boy had heard of Old Preben and his wife seemed clearly defined on the stone, and as he gazed on it, and glanced at the clear, bright moon shining in the pure air, it was as if the light of God's countenance beamed over His beautiful world.

Who acts: boy, wife, clear bright moon, stone · What happens: hear, seem, define, gaze, glance, shine · To what, where: stone, pure air, beautiful world
