Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Philosopher's Stone, sentence 77

He had eyes for all times and all people; eyes that could discover in the depths of the earth hidden treasures, and look into the hearts of men, as through a pane of glass; he could read more than is often seen on the cheek that blushes or grows pale, in the eye that droops or smiles.

Who acts: good, eyes, cheek, eye · What happens: have, discover, look, read, see, blush · To what, where: eyes, depths, cheek, eye
