Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Third Visit, sentence 45
He who always lounged about, and drank the spiced draught of pleasure, that he might forget the wild things he had done here, will have his barrel given to him on the journey, and will have to drink from it as they go on; and the drink is bright and clear, so that the thoughts remain pure, and all good and noble feelings are awakened, and he sees and feels what in life he could not or would not see; and then he has within him the punishment, the gnawing worm, which will not die through time incalculable.
Who acts: bumpkin, things, drink, thoughts, gnawing worm · What happens: lounge, drink, spice, forget, do, have · To what, where: spiced draught, wild things, barrel, bumpkin, journey, noble feelings
