Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Psyche, sentence 114
At this moment he was able to do so, for a fire ran in the blood of the young sculptor; a change had taken place in his soul; he felt a longing to tear from the old, the accustomed--to forget, if possible, his own individuality; and therefore it was that he followed Angelo.
Who acts: feast, change, longing · What happens: be, do, run, take, feel, tear · To what, where: blood, place, soul, longing, old, own individuality
