Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Philosopher's Stone, sentence 247
The beaming word BELIEVE, from every grain of truth, had the brightness of the beautiful and the good, more bright than the mighty pillar of flame that led Moses and the children of Israel to the land of Canaan, and from the word BELIEVE arose the bridge of hope, reaching even to the unmeasurable Love in the realms of the infinite.
Who acts: beaming word, mighty pillar, BELIEVE · What happens: believe, have, lead, arise, reach · To what, where: brightness, Moses, land, bridge, word, realms
