Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Pen and the Inkstand, sentence 32

The poet, the artist, the man of science in his laboratory, the general,--we all do it; and yet we are only the instruments which the Almighty uses; to Him alone the honor is due.

Who acts: we, Almighty, honor · What happens: do, be, use · To what, where: laboratory, instruments
